Implement a way to convert EU to SU or generate EU using SU.

[James103]

From my calculations, assuming energy balance is maintained with Create: Crafts and Additions:

Let SU be the stress unit from the base Create mod, and GTSU be the modified SU unit used in Greate.

SU to FE:

• 16,384 SU = 480 FE/t by Create: Crafts and Additions motor.
• Therefore, 1 FE/t ≈ 34 SU, rounded down to 32.

SU to GTSU:

• 256 SU = 1 GTSU by Hand Crank
• 512 SU = 8 GTSU by Large Water Wheel
• 8192 SU = 128 GTSU by Windmill Bearing (at max speed 16 RPM)
• 16384 SU = 256 GTSU by Steam Engine (at max speed 64 RPM)
• From this, 64 SU = 1 GTSU at max efficiency. This assumes the listed capacites are reached at the respective maximum speeds.

FE to EU:

• 4 FE = 1 EU by GregTech's energy converters

Putting this together:

• 1 FE/t ≈ 34 SU, rounded down to 1 FE/t ≈ 32 SU.
• 4 FE/t = 1 EU/t → 1 EU/t ≈ 128 SU
• 64 SU = 1 GTSU → 1 EU/t ≈ 2 GTSU (2 SU in the Greate mod)
• Converting EU to SU and back to EU should lose energy.

Therefore, my ideas for the Greate-based alternators and motors are:

• A ULV Greate motor consumes 8 EU/t to produce 8 GTSU.
• A ULV Greate alternator consumes 16 GTSU to produce 8 EU/t.
• Both values are quadrupled each tier.
