    With the recent update, Mekanism generators have been completely nerfed. From 200 RF/t to 3RF/t. I recently spent heaps of resources on around 50 extra windmills to power my RotaryCraft engines and now I can't power 1 to 5% capacity. How is this even acceptable?

    Then so much for everything I already f-ing made. These updates piss me off sometimes.
    Everything I had set up that supported every machine in my base now can't even support my base IDLE, and I don't even have an ME system.

    Well then I am sure they would be happy to give us refunds on this. Considering the fact we made them because they produce a good amount of power.

    I wouldn't expect refunds. The MPT can be hack 'n' slash about things, and a change this radical and impacting should have come with advance notice so people could move off of them. -shrug-

    That's why Reactors got a generous buff... Build a reactor!

    Upside is Big Reactors got a huge performance buff. So if you had that as a backup, expect to be using that as a primary power source.

    Soul, a lot of people had no other forms of power and are now more or less without power. The change is acceptable, just it was far, far too abrupt.

    And I find myself agreeing with this sentence here. Some form of advanced notice would have been appreciated. Even if I wanted to set up a big reactor, now I have no power to process the resources for one.

    Sure they got a buff. But I can't use my machines, can't process my ores, soon won't be able to access my ME system. How can I make more machines if I can't use my machines?

    Evidently there's a tesseract channel that has free RF. I think it was Public 12 or something like that. If you need a tesseract to use it for the time being, just pm me.

    How did you start in the first place, Steam Dynamos? Do what you did at the start and set one up!

    When the server comes back up and I am online I will be providing free power on public tesseract channel 12 (May change) I can provide quite a bit of power, but with multiple people on it may fluctuate. This will be a temporary stopgap to help players process/access their AE systems.

    I can help out with channel 12. My reactor isn't being used for much else atm.

    With the boost to reactors you and I could probably power the whole server =P

    Hell, it'd probably be cheaper to just make 300 more windmills. "Adapting" ftw

    Fairly certain the whole point of the nerf is to discourage use of windmills because it causes the server to suffer a great deal. Building 300 more windmills is helping absolutely NOTHING.

    Edit: Though I still understand your frustration, to a point.
