If you remember me before, you will know that I had this:

Energy Chart 1.1

Combustion Fuel
Energy Sources P-Ratio S-Ratio
Oil .75 1.5
Log .25 .4
Plank .0625 .4
Leaves .03 .75
Sapling .03 .5
Biofuel .7 1.5
Stick .03 .6
Charcoal .8 1.0
Hydrogen Cell .8 6.0
Refined Fuel .75 2.5
Ultra Refined Fuel .75 4.0

Notes
•P-Ratio = Total Energy Ratio to Coal, S-Ratio = Burning Speed to Coal.
•Coal is worth 1000 eu each, and burns at a speed of .625/t. One second is 20 ticks.
•Oil will burn in a generator to create energy, but it doesn't create enough eu/s to power a vehicle. When the fuel is refined, it doesn't gain any energy, but it will burn twice as fast. The smallest sub-orbital vehicle engine requires at least 1 eu/t, and unrefined oil only provides .9375 eu/t. Medium sized vehicles such as trains and tanks can run on regular fuel, but things such as jets and planes will need Ultra Refined Fuel. This can be made by putting regular Refined fuel back into a Refinery Machine.
•Nothing on the combustibles chart will burn outside of the atmosphere (due to lack of exess oxygen) unless you also use Oxygen Cells.
•Burning anything in space besides Ultra-Refined Fuel and Hydrogen Cells will use up Oxygen Cells like crazy, thus preventing people from using coal and such as ship fuel (but not making it impossible).
•Oxygen Cells are produced during the production of Hydrogen Cells in an Electrolysis Machine. They are created with a 1oxygen/2hydrogen ratio. They are also burned at the same ratio of one hydrogen cell uses half a cell worth of oxygen.

Electrolysis Machine
This is a machine that creates Hydrogen Cells and Oxygen Cells. The GUI for this machine will have 6 input slots to put stacks of cells, and also an input slot to put a bucket of water, if you wanted to use buckets. You don't need to use buckets however. If the machine has either flowing or still water on any side, this will act as the infinite water source. The water isn't really the important part. It requires 1.25 eu/t to power it, and it must be a constant flow. After the machine receives 2000 energy units, it creates 2 Hydrogen Cells and one Oxygen Cell. This entire process takes 80 seconds, or 1600 ticks, and also uses up 3 empty cells from the slots. There are four slots in the GUI where the Hydrogen Cells are stored, and 2 slots where Oxygen Cells are deposited.


=====================================================================================

I would like to add more things to this list, but I need to know what other machines and devices have been added to the cue of development.

He was on here a lot more in January, and a lot more before that, when I was not here.
