Minecraft Mods FTB Ultimate – STEAM POWER !!! [E14] (HermitCraft Modded Server)

Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode on the Hermit graph feed the Beast server we’re now hooked at twenty one of these ultimate hybrid solar panels we’re making them faster and faster now it seems like we’re able to make at least one a day sometimes two

Just depends maybe it’s like one and a half a day and whatever but yeah we’re getting a lot a lot of solar power happening here but we’re not gonna talk about most of that stuff today today we want to work on the tree farm yet some

More like I was talking about in the last episode we need to make some more power here so we can ferment faster and yeah so let’s get started on this project today so this is all pretty much as seen up here as it was last episode

But if we calm down here yep this is still the same if we go down further I’ve opened this area up quite a lot now oh right so I’ve kind of dug out some room here I think right here is where I want to put the steam boiler and yeah

We’re gonna have to pipe steam around we’re gonna have to make and hook up a bunch of steam engines we need to get rid of these biogas engines and I think that is pretty much all we need to do oh yeah we’re gonna have to hook up an

Aqueous accumulator for where the steam boiler goes so that’s probably one of the first things we should work on here yeah we need to get water underneath there and in fact I don’t have an aqueous accumulator I ended up hooking up four of them here for all the

Fermenters and for the tree farms just to make sure we have plenty of water I was going to kind of run a line off there to hook into the steam boiler but I think that’s gonna end up being pretty messy so let’s just go ahead and make a

New aqueous accumulator and give the steam boiler its own source of water this won’t take very long at all a lot of the stuff for this item has already been pre-made demag it has been going a little crazy pre making stuff so yeah we have the Machine frame

Here and the pneumatic servo I think it’s glass and a redstone is all we need now let’s see aqueous accumulator requires glass tin and a bucket so we have buckets already made I just need some tin probably more than knots with glass so let’s make this guy up real

Quick awesome okay so let’s put the glass back in the barrel looks like we have to make some more of that pretty soon we can put the tin back green now we’re all set to go here okay okay so yeah we need to get the aqueous accumulator down underground to provide

Water for the steam boiler so it needs it needs water to steam up and do we want to right there I think I want to put this down one more level awesome so let’s put this guy right there okay let’s grab some water want to grab a

Little bit more so I can make infinite spring I think I will break that block there okay so water here yeah there and all source blocks okay so we’re gonna turn these off because we’re only gonna put water above it right and then I need a liquid duct

Okay so that fills up with water good and I have pre-made a lot of stuff but not everything so for the steam boiler we need nine liquid fuel fireboxes we’re gonna be running it off a biofuel and I have brought some biofuel here to get us

Started since we won’t have any right at the beginning so let’s go ahead and build the steam boiler also let’s take a look at the recipe for these things just so you guys know we need nine of these in order to make those you need four

Steel plates two iron bars a bucket a fire charge and a furnace so yeah these are not the cheapest thing in the world there’s also the solid fueled firebox I think where you can put in blaze rods or other burnable material like that but since we are making a bunch of biomass

Here and we can convert this into biofuel there is really no point to do the solid fueled one here so we need to do where this is actually gonna be the largest sized steam boiler so yeah just like that and then we need these high pressure boilers on top let’s look at

The recipe for those pretty well I guess this deal is kind of expensive but all things considered this is relatively cheap just two pieces of steel plates makes the high pressure boiler and then the minimum size has to be three by three by two I think we could just do

This right here and get going and that’s all we need see everything is solid like that but we are going to make the largest size one see guys add the other block in there everything splits apart put those yeah you can do three by three by three makes

One and three by three by four is the largest sized one there we go okay so it has 1 million one hundred one thousand one hundred fifty two buckets of steam space in here okay so it’s filling up with water that is good and in fact what we can do right away since

This thing is now filling up with water since these things take a long time to get going you can just go and throw some biofuel in here oh I guess just right-clicking on with that started it up I just put the biofuel capsules in there right like

That and yeah this thing should start to heat up immediately it’s at 21 degrees Celsius 22 and this thing goes up to 1,000 degrees Celsius at maximum temperature now while this thing is warming up it uses a whole lot of fuel yeah so we’re gonna be going through these things like crazy

But once we start getting towards the warmer temperatures I think after 500 degrees Celsius it starts to slow down and once it’s at the maximum temperature it uses hardly any biofuel at all it does use it but way less than what it does right now okay so I just want to

Keep some of this Omni at all time so I can keep feeding it into this let’s do that just make sure that’s full all right okay so I need to get a crafting table I did not bring one downstairs there’s one right here in fact I’m just

Gonna make a new one uh-huh saplings are still full and over here we’ve overflowed three hundred-plus decks so yeah we really need to get those four mentors going faster and add more of them hopefully we’ll be able to do that to make sure we are using up all of the

Saplings that we’re producing here okay so we have the crafting table let’s go ahead and put this down over here and we are going to make some industrial steam engines so we needed a bunch of things and these are kind of expensive for as many as we’re gonna do we’re gonna make

25 of them let’s look at the recipe here industrial steam engine this guy so three steel plates piece of glass a piston and two steel gears each steel gear is a stone gear surrounded by steel ingots so yeah uses quite a lot of steel luckily we have plenty of Steel already

Pre-made we’ve been using the blast furnaces for a long time when we’re over at spawn I don’t know exactly how much we made but we have blocks and blocks are stacks of blocks of Steel already made so we are good to go there so we can just go ahead and do this and

Make 25 of these guys these produce 8 mg each and I didn’t really count out how much that is anyway it makes a lot of mg with 25 of those steam engines oh right so in order to get started here I want to keep going up and down up and down in

This farm I’m gonna turn off the tree farms I don’t want any more items coming through I want to make sure these are turned off for now we’re not gonna produce anymore saplings we have plenty okay and then down here I want to turn this stuff off for now we’re just gonna

Shut everything down while we change power sources here I don’t know why it does it every time I’ve turned this one off it shoots items out at me for some reason it’s kind of weird ok so everything should be turned off yes okay we can

Turn this off now this line is no longer going to be used I’m gonna waste well no actually if I do that it should pull the I won’t do that because this is full and actually I don’t think you can even put in biomass from the bottom so I’m just

Gonna go ahead and remove all of this stuff we’re gonna break down these engines and then I’m gonna lay out an area where we’re gonna put up the steam engines and I’ll be right back alright guys so we just hit 100 degrees Celsius on the steam boiler and at this point is

Actually going to start making steam which you can see here the hotter it gets the faster it makes this steam I’m pretty sure this is the lowest temperature possible to get steam out of this thing so that’s pretty cool so I have been kind of reworking what I want

To do here I wasn’t quite sure war is gonna put the stills to make the biofuel but I think we’re gonna go and stick them right here so what I’m thinking we’re gonna do is probably come down underneath these guys just to kind of make this hidden we’re gonna lay some

Liquid ducks underneath here this is where the biofuel is going to come out of these things and I’m not quite sure if we only need six I’m hoping six is gun going to be enough but I expect that we might need more okay so let’s go ahead and dig this

Down just a touch how far down I need one two three probably four blocks so this is one two three four well let’s just see where this comes out up this is good right here yeah okay and then we can bring a liquid duct from right there

And down this is going to be where the biofuel enters into the steam boiler so we can just go ahead and bring this stuff over here connect it up awesome okay so let’s fill in some of this stuff back here now with these liquid ducks unfortunately we’re gonna have to power

Each and every one of these things with some redstone power so let’s just come back over here in order for liquid ducks to pull out of a an item they have to be flipped around so the yellow arrow is on each of these and then we need to add in some redstone

So they actually will pull liquid out okay so we can just go ahead and do that actually I have this open so I could flip each one of these around okay so let’s do this this this this and then very good now you can just bring this around here

And do I know I have that red alloy wire somewhere yeah we can just go ahead and use some of this stuff to you power it all or will you just put a lever on each one of these whatever we really want to do but I think this is probably going to

Be good enough and where are my levers I think there is my under pouch here okay here we go okay so any biofuel that those make will now be pulled out and brought along that liquid duct over into the steam boiler yeah so let’s go ahead

And continue to fill in this stuff here just to make things look a little nicer although it’s just stone you can only make it look so nice but it’s better than having gaps everywhere okay and then let me just go ahead and fill in behind here there’s no reason to have

This open okay so that is hooked up the only other thing we need is to provide these with power mm-hmm so now that I’m thinking about it I think I should have powered these blocks here put the red all the way wire underneath power all these blocks and then I could have run

Well I guess I could still do this I was thinking I wouldn’t be able to hide the power wire but yeah we can actually still hide it and never mind so this will still work now we just need some of this redstone energy conduit so we can just bring it

Along where like that and then just hide it behind the wall here make things out of charge okay and then something like that and then we can fill this all back in with stone there we go yeah and we won’t be able to see any of the wires

Okay so that works that’s fine okay so we can fill this back in and fill this back in awesome so the only place we can see a little bit of wire is right through here but really not much you can do about that it’s not really a big deal

I suppose I could put maybe a micro block or something around the edge to cover that up but I think it’ll be fine just like that okay so now now these are hooked up we need to get them power and we have power waiting to be used right

Here so as kind of thinking where I wanted to put the steam engines and thinking it might be okay let’s just stick them right along here we have a power wire that comes along here and then another one that comes here so maybe if we charge my drill so I can dig

Let me break out one of these things okay yes maybe if we take the power wire and run it right along here yeah that out that’ll actually work out pretty good okay and then we can just connect just connect that right up I like that and all the way across where is the

Conduit I think you have more on my under pouch here let’s check this out yep 17 more awesome okay so those are connected we can get rid of this uh-huh all right so now I think I’m actually gonna need more of these energy conduits to get everything hooked up here but we

Can start letting out these steam engines the industrial steam engines okay so that’s right here where our power is so this should probably be our center point I think so one two three four five six I think or five six and just know we can’t flip those because we

Don’t have the conduits here oops conduits can’t hook these guys all up to those and then we can flip them with the wrench King things are kind of annoying there we go man they’re all right and the conduit all has to be flipped around so these are letting power out and not

Sending power in okay so that is pretty good and now we can hook that up right there and that should get us started with some power actually so I can just break out some of these blocks down underneath here we need a place to run the steam how far down is

I think we’re just at the end REE a few more there we go that’s the last one okay so we can just do liquid ducks all the way down here now I can’t remember if these steam engines need a redstone signal or not to turn on hmm but of

Course I want to kind of hide the liquid ducks a little bit and let’s see so they can bring these down here and I think I want to kind of do the same thing like I did over on the other side with the with the biofuel I’m not sure how far over I

Have to go if I went over too far maybe we are okay so I went past this engine just a bit okay so yes so we can pull the steam out from directly actually I’m not sure if we can pull it out can we pull it out from right there whoops hey

That’s not what I wanted to do yeah so it does not look like we can pull steam out of the firebox okay so we’re gonna have to put the liquid duct right there yeah that one fills up a steam okay so we can take this connect those guys together and

Bring this down here now how far down did I want to bring this yes we can just do it right at this level that’s fine and I’m cut I need to get my jetpack back on okay and just go ahead and connect those that’s not gonna work ding okay connect it right there

Break this guy and wear my blocks okay here we go now get out of there okay so now I can go ahead and do that and all of these engines should have steam over here yes they do okay if we break click on them no steam no steam

Why is there no steam oh they’re filling up at the end over here well this has steam in it this has the maximum amount of steam in here oh geez I don’t know why we don’t have steam okay so let’s go ahead and put some more biofuel in this thing yeah yeah

Biofuel there you go awesome okay well let me go ahead and figure this out real quick these things should be full of steam but I don’t understand why they are not let me figure this out and we will be right back okay guys so I gotta figure it out these steam engines don’t

Actually fill with steam until you give him a redstone signal so I was playing around with it discovered that was what my problem was and then I proceeded to just add a few more these engines here so I’ve added all 25 of them and yeah it’s not quite even I’m might end up

Adding some more in here depending if we have enough power or not I don’t really know for sure if this is going to be enough to be honest and I did the math off-camera and it was 200 mg of power that these should be producing so I mean

It might not be perfect but that’s gonna be a lot better than what we were doing before and we were only providing 55 mg of power okay so hopefully the extra mg will be enough to power these stills and the fermenters and get everything going and you know make enough power to keep

The steam boiler going as well because that’s gonna be a big problem here if we can’t he’s sustained the biofuel needs of the steam boiler okay so I’ve removed the biofuel capsules and I want to do a test run and see what we can do here as far as

Production goes so I have these all wired up they all connect to this one lever here by a little bit of red all the way wire kind of goes around splits off and goes behind the blocks to turn these engines on so let’s go ahead and flip this lever and see what happens

Okay so it looks like we are we have the molecule our just like we want and if I look here you can see we’re making point 2 mg of power I believe these things take a little bit of time to warm up and I think the steam needs to fill up here

And then once it’s full this will probably go a little bit faster I’m pretty sure that’s how this works let’s see any of these other ones looking different this one so point to this one over here is point two you know if you like these more torches here it just

Feels really dark for me to me for some reason okay so yeah we’re doing between point two and point three so this isn’t that great mmm I wonder if this is too many engines for the steam boiler well I think what we should do is wait until

The steam gets all the way full in here oh look at this I just jumped up to 0.6 do these things just warm up or something this one Oh point six point seven so yeah this is doing better as the steam has filled up more okay well let me wait

Until these things fill up full esteem and then we’ll see where we’re at as far as power goes okay so it looks like we are holding steady at about three thousand eight hundred steam and has bounced in between point six and point seven MJ per that is not enough power to

Get everything going the fermenters and the the stills to provide enough biofuel here if we look on this screen we can see the biofuel it is kind of going up but the steam boiler is using buckets faster than what we’re producing so we need to figure out something to get

These things going faster now one thing that I’ve heard is that the steam boilers or I guess more correctly the liquid docks the more connections you have to esteem boiler the more steam they can output so if we look here we can see we’re holding say 3800 so let’s add another liquid duct

Here and see if this is going to increase how much power how much steam these things are getting so if I click here well it’s not that much more but it looks like we’re now at 1.2 MJ okay so let me add another one here and see what happens

Oops wrong one okay those are connected and we have 1.7 mg these are still holding steady 3800 but this is going higher and higher okay so let me add a few more these things do it all in one go and see what happens I need these all connected oops wrong

One connect and you connect we can connect these together and connect all of those together okay so let’s see what we’re doing now oh yeah look at that we’re up to you five mg and it looks like it’s kind of going up higher 5.6 all right so how are the stills doing it

Looks like it’s pumping in more biofuel down there so let’s see what this is looking like here we’re at eight point eight seven point eight just used a bucket of fuel so yeah it is making this quite a bit faster and I believe these steam engines they can go up to a

Maximum of eight mg so let’s go ahead and add a few more these liquid ducts on here we still got three more on this side that we can add so hold shift in and these guys along right like that and yes we’ll do this action okay so all of those should now be

Connected oh yeah and look at that we’re now at 7.5 that’s almost as full as these things go and they’re starting to store a little bit of internal energy looks like so is that gonna be enough to camp it out at eat if not I think we can kind

Of wrap some of these around the sides and add just a little bit more outputs for these engines but that’s pretty cool hope the the flashing green is that good guess they are warmed up and they’re providing power a little bit faster now okay so what are we doing here yeah

We’re storing up some mg looking good how is the biofuel is this doing any better is it making more look at that we’re making biofuel pretty quickly now I don’t know if that’s gonna outpace the steam boiler itself though we might need more stills or we might need more

Engines uh-huh hmm well we’ve gone up to seven and then back down to six so now I guess if we can make more biofuel than this thing uses then we are good and we don’t have to worry about it looks like six point six come on seven before uses

Another bucket oh yeah look at that look at that I think we’ve done it I think this is gonna sustain itself now so that is pretty awesome all right so are all these connected back here it’s kind of hard to see looks like everything is

Good now I can also add some more along the top and I might actually do that because there’s no point not doing that to be honest so let’s see if I can just go ahead and add these guys yeah and then we will do oh yeah hold shift while

The police sees okay and then let’s shift so I don’t break them let’s just connect those all together okay and then shift place these on there oops don’t want to do that very good now we can I guess connect these just like there and that alright so we just added 9 more

Connection so these things should be kidding all the steam that they could possibly need ha but now we’ve gone down to 5 mg why would that be we’ve added more connections here mm so it seems like adding those might have slowed down how much mg these things are making well

Lemme it’s a little bit of trial and error here let me go ahead and remove some of these and see if that you know undo that undoes that problem is it maybe the fact that the steam boiler just is not making that much steam still 5.7 oh yeah it’s losing steam look at

That okay so that is a problem it’s probably because this thing is not hot enough now mmm okay so let me go ahead and remove those guys as well zombie were you wet I must be in a cave okay so I’ve removed those extra ones and where

Are we doing here uh-huh and the steam is this going up or down if this thing goes down too far that’s gonna be a problem I might have to turn off some of the engines but it looks like it’s actually holding steady about 570 okay so these

Are producing 5.7 and yeah we’re still holding steady above 7 I think okay well I’m gonna let I’m gonna watch this for a while and see what happens I don’t want to run out of steam and I don’t want you know everything I don’t want to start over and add more biofuel

So give me a little bit and I will be back alright guys well I’ve been watching this thing for a while and doesn’t look like we are gaining any more MJ it capped at around a taper which I think comes out to about a hundred and forty MJ total from all of

These engines which is about three times more MJ than what we were making previously so I think we’re doing pretty good the steam boiler is up to 737 Celsius it still needs to go all the way up to 1000 and I’m hoping by that time

We will still or we will make more steam enough to fill this too can hopefully get these guys running at maximum if not well might have to add another steam boiler or I don’t know we will find out but it seems like we’re making plenty of biomass we were making

Plenty of biofuel to sustain the steam engine or I’m sorry the steam boiler and that is pretty much all I was concerned about at this point you might end up making another one or a couple of these over at our main base to take care of the biofuel production over there

Because we are sending a whole lot of biomass over there to be turned into biofuel be burned I don’t really want to take care of all that production here I just want to be able to you know do something with our samplings convert it all into the biomass and ship that

Biomass off to wherever but I think that’s gonna do it for today’s episode my keep an eye on the steam boiler maybe add a few more engines if necessary and yeah that’s gonna do it so thank you guys for watching and we’ll see you next time
