PROJECT ARCHITECT 2 - EP 8: Unlimited LAVA Power

[@dejazO0]

fun fact: no one knows what happened with guy who made powah mod originally he's missing since minecraft 1.16. Since then ae2 guys updating the same mod.

[@paulelderson934]

He was taken by the dark side.

[@Vyrus]

They still actively login to curseforge (they were last active today) but they stopped actively developing mods in 2021. More than likely just got a job as a software developer, some of us don't like coding outside of work when we've been doing it all day, work life balance and all that.

[@crippie5303]

I went with the Powah thermo generators. I manually pushed up to the blazong tier so i could make blazong crystal blocks to put under them for the 280% energy boost. That carried me through up until making a nitro reactor which took me all the way to a max fission reactor. Just finished the pack last night and got the tome of knowledge, was a ton of fun! Thanks for the great pack.

[@darkmagus1134]

Same for me. They just are so easy to have running without having to to automate to much in the early game. I do want to make the reactor Chosen made out of thermal it just looks cool.

[@xXBrettXxxXBoyXx]

Hopefully you see this. ive not done a whole lot of modded mc so not sure of my options. do you think you could give me a rundown of what the power progression looks like. To add im huge fan of being inefficient and having to work extra hard just to skip to the best stuff lol. Disregarding that what do you think i should do being a modded mc noob. The enderman power sounded kinda cool but who knows

[@congratulations-]

the easiest power generation thing imo is the rainbow generator from iron furnace mod and using the infinite fuel item from project e and you get over 50k power very cheap

[@stuckonaslide]

I like to use a gas burning generator from mekanism burning ethylene. right now im using moss blocks, they're only 12emc each

[@jackstaaar5]

Hey, how does this work? I've made the rainbow generator and the infinite fuel item, but can't get it to power things? Such as a quarry

[@congratulations-]

@@jackstaaar5 they all need the generator upgrade and all have to work at the same time and also their buffers shouldn’t be full if so the rainbow generator won’t generate 50k

[@jackstaaar5]

@@congratulations- ahh okay, so you need all the furnace types in that mod in a row? And I haven't seen the generator upgrade just yet, will have a look for it

'I need 1 to recieve and one in the location ... to recieve' XD ty for funny quotes chosen

[@dejsimiwerkin8681]

I also went with lava power, but I opted for Magmators from Powah. People say it's more crafting but seeing you craft and set up 36 of those dynamos to get 2k FE which is equivalent to a single Niotic Magmator I'm not convinced. 😂

[@paulelderson934]

@@dejsimiwerkin8681 but you need quite a bit of power to get niotic stuff. Which is why powah is either a time sink or the power setup you do after your early game power.

[@dejsimiwerkin8681]

@@paulelderson934 I guess that depends on how you define time sink. Assuming that you have no power storage and ignoring any power that may be stored in the Magmator and Energizing Rods - relying solely on the generation capability of your Magmator it takes around 30s to get Energized Steel to upgrade from Basic to Hardened, then around 3.5 min to get Blazing Crystals and after that 4 min to get Niotic Crystals. I wouldn't really consider 8 min to be a time sink. 😆

[@oWildChildo]

​@@paulelderson934I just used a netherite furnace with generator augment to get there pretty quickly. First time using the iron furnaces mod for generator and it was surprisingly good.

[@hallowie3873]

​@@dejsimiwerkin8681do the niotic cystals have emc? Cause if not I'd still consider it one 😂

[@dejsimiwerkin8681]

@@hallowie3873 And do ingots have EMC? Because you'll need 5 stacks of them to craft 36 dynamos. Additionally, those calculations were the absolute worst case scenario which doesn't exactly reflect the actual gameplay as the Magmator and Energizing Rods store some energy in them as well, sometimes giving you a few instant crystals. Also crafting more than 1 Magmator at once will speed it up, bc when you take down 1 of the Magmators to upgrade it the other will keep on generating and storing power which can then be used to insta energize a crystal.

[@demran]

It can create up to 23k power with upgrades (late game upgrades probably more but they are extremely expensive), but it will be cheaper to get into other systems before upgrading all. Totally loved the design though! Thanks for the video Chosen

[@JoeH-vr5kt]

You are excellent at designing builds. I am envious,

[@nareik8017]

Heh, I got four of those thermal sterling engines producing 1600 rf each. The thermal extra energy production upgrades are OP with +300% for 0.8× fuel energy. And with emc some charcoal blocks are real cheap. A quarry can be run, and make massive profits

[@Nexadon]

I did lava as well. It's just too easy and cheap to get started to not use it. Keep up the great work, CA!

[@continuuz]

Just starting on a Fusion Reactor and Antimatter Generation. Love this Pack

[@fizzelps4186]

Loved the power build. Such a great idea I am happily stealing in my next build.

[@cjbrown1396]

just finished crafting all the plushies last night. fun pack!

[@yamanbusmaje]

my personal fav mekanism bio generator and then expanding to the ethylene gas burners, using simple villagers farms hooked to a crusher its super easy and strong

[@kael6596]

For me, I went from iron furnace generators to nuclear reactors, it is surprisingly very easy, except for little bit of cost it takes to make but is very much worth it, mine is just a 5x5x5 and uses emeralds and still works perfectly fine

[@SpinyChickenexe]

i just got home from work, this is perfect! lol

[@harshgamer7op]

Magma block convert into magma cream is a good EMC farm

[@thulandrathuu5882]

Once I get blaze rods, I make half a dozen Powah spirited thermo generators. Using blazing crystal blocks it bumps the efficiency up to 280% efficiency.

[@sololunar6231]

Chosen, I love the content!!

[@vevavanilla16]

Nautilus Shells are treasure fishing loot in the base game, but it seems loot tables are different considering you get tridents for some reason

[@luisondarza1390]

I used to play the ATM mod pack, but after seeing this... I think I'll give it a try.

[@dampnoodle]

alright going back to a body is goated! Instead of praying all of your items are there 0_0

[@NobodyXIII_Roxas]

I used his initial combustion gen’s from the beginning then quickly swapped to flux for transference. Also luckily got a Draconic Generator, will probably use the magmatic dynamos tho since it’s always been my go to power

[@NobodyXIII_Roxas]

I also went a bit into the Powha mod but stopped early, got too focused on building up EMC. Will get back to it when I need to but can’t wait to do more.

[@lilgroot135]

yeah id started with the powah solar panel then once got mekanisam going was getting a net loss over night though just used the sleeping bag if needed went into using the powah thermal gens with blazing crystal blocks for the extra boost like many others here :) may be a lot of recursive crafting but most efficient and least input of fuel from my point of view.

[@DaltonRidgley]

I used the draconic reactor and blew up my world....

[@donkeykong3x3]

Is there a chance for a Project Architect 2 the Skys in the future?

[@zonty8170]

For me the easiest power is building a wind turbine farm (mekanism). I have about 105 turbines at the build limit and the power is insane for how cheap it is. Also built a little cloud that the turbines stand on top of to make it look nicer lol.

[@E_Ahn19]

Are there any mods in the modpack that could be removed without ruining the gameplay? 300+ mods is just a bit much for my computer to handle😅

[@shsupercm]

Easiest power, iron furnaces' power augment and the emc infinite fuel

[@pikarifat9089]

Hey Chosen, I have been playing your mod pack and I have loved it but there is an issue with my quests because there is a grey tick but it has't completed for some reason. Would you happen to know why?

For those who want approx 30 million EMC per second income without any Archi-items yet: Create an RFTools dimension flat full with diamond blocks, mine with fully infused builder (quarry card with filter to diamonds only) and feed them into the EMC link. To keep up with the flow, compress the diamonds in the compacting drawer to 2x (you can use a second drawer if your EMC link is too low level). You can create a dimension that literally has diamonds only, from Y level -62 all the way up to 120. To do so, create a dimension like this: Diamond block Terrain - flat Feature - none Biome - none Structure - none Sit back and relax, think about your life choices (time to throw away that fancy ore multiplier setup you invested in), consider building something stupid or going on an adventure. For the time being, all your block and material needs are covered :)

[@Wyzalt]

Now try this with draconium ores 😅

[@desireemathews953]

So I did the same power set up you did and I was working on the inscriber stuff and suddenly my power stopped working and my muchines weren't getting power. Everything looks normal so I'm confused. Do you have an idea what happened?

[@ReptillianStrike]

I actually got a transmutation interface from a loot bag!

[@rellsw02]

A diamond furnace generator was my temp generator until I got into magmators from powah

[@lacrosseman02]

My first power setup is a wind turbine farm at build limit. I'm a big fan of Mekanism lol

[@lacrosseman02]

Also using flux points and plugs to avoid having to route power anywhere with pipes.

[@paulelderson934]

@@lacrosseman02 This is my go to for a lot of modpacks. It's just so easy. Building gadgets & wind turbines for the win. If bigger reactors is in the pack then it does immediately invalidate early mekanism though. But then mekanism hits back in the end game with the millions of FE/t.

[@florian4792]

In this modpack you have all the pipe from old thermal ?? I liked the energy energy tube that big with ultimate transfer

Hi chosen!

[@mrpres479]

[@the_langs7998]

I think you should make a second version of this pack without the altered emc values. Then just put OP in the title.

[@copixel37]

I cant find the cannon or the schematic!!! not in JEI

[@WhiskeyNColaow]

There's a much easier and much more powerful starter energy source (smth like 4800rf/tick) but I'm afraid that it's an oversight and revealing it here might get it fixed, but I'll give a hint: it uses the easy villagers mod

[@mlogan2k2]

I'm reasonably sure I know what you're referring to. Emeralds are friends. That being said, I used them to upgrade my Thermo gens from Powah to Spirited tier. Five of those give me enough power to run a void dimension of ancient debris cubes for EMC generation, functionally breaking the pack wide open on that front. All I need to do now is set up an RFTools builder or something similar to automate the process, though the pick I have right now does make it quick work all on its own...

[@WhiskeyNColaow]

@@mlogan2k2 no just a couple furnaces and farmers from easy villagers, a carrot burns quick

anyone else having issues with the ender tank not pulling lava from nether if its chunk loaded? Its acting like its not, I even chunk loaded a 3x3 around my chunk and I'm still having that issue.
