Suggestion: Glass cells

Miner7747 · September 13, 2011 at 12:19 AM

tin cells are great,but when you're trying to make an automated fuel factory,it eats up tin and prevents automation.
This is why i'm suggesting:

Glass cells

glass cells can be made like this:
G () G
G G G
G G G

G= glass

This makes 16 glass cells.
unlike tin,glass cells aren't resistant to radiation,
and thus cannot be used for cooling cells,uranium cells,and depleted uranium cells.

using this,making automated biofuel factories would be possible,whithout sacrificing too much
game balance.

There's an issue with that recipe though... It's the same recipe as BC's Tanks.

Miner7747 · September 13, 2011 at 12:37 AM

lol, didn't notice that.

maybe change it to this:

G () G
G G G
G G G
even though it doesn't make sense,it still uses the same amount of resources.
Toy around with the recipie as much as you want though,as long as it uses only glass.

it shoud use armored glass and be t2 cells, for reactor components.

Am I the only one not seeing a difference between the 2 recipes?

Well to reduce tin usage, could change the recipe to 2 tin, 2 glass. Tin to the sides, glass above and below.

Nope, He edited the first post with the new recipie, so you cant see the old one at all.

this gets rid of the whole point of these,which is to allow automation,and using tin,that is impossible with UU.

if you're *really* desperate you could run a few dozen mass fabricators to produce tin ore...

yeah,but you'd be losing more energy than your making.

I don't think you're just reacting tin with your nuclear reactors. Yes the mass fabricator uses a lot of energy, but if you know the recipe for making tin from matter, it shouldn't be too costly to run it a few times when you have a recycler to feed it scrap. Assuming you aren't running a dozen of them like IC_Pandemonium suggested.
