[Official] The Search for useless Items

OD/OV scanner:

Mode: "Ore Locating" Allow it to display one/two closest ores in the radius of its scanning range, regardless of value.
Mode: "Geological Analysis" Will display total amount of ores in the scanning range, below the player (9xNx9/13xNx13 with N being height of player)
Mode: "Advanced Ore Locating" Allow it to look for certain types of ores, given you have a memory crystal in your inventory containing the scan of that ore. If multiple crystals are supplied, one is chosen at random.

Dynamite/Sticky Dynamite + ("Nitro Dynamite" + Dynamite launcher):

Allow it to stack to 64.
Increase blast resistance limit the dynamite can explode to 20.
Make it NOT destroy items at any circumstances (includes dropped items on the ground)
Allow usage with the miner, supplied on a special slot for "Electric blast mining" which will use (nitro) dynamite to quickly clear the way to the ores.
---------------------------
Nitro dynamite is a regular dynamite crafted with 8 gunpowder. Nitro dynamite will explode for a 5x5x5 radius.
Dynamite launcher is an electric "rocket launcher", dynamite style. Dynamites thrown with it will explode instantaneously upon impact and will deal 10 points of damage (20 for the nitro dynamite). Blocks are (not) destroyed [config].

Magnetizer+ Iron fences:

When powered and if redstoned will pull all items in a radius of 9 blocks instead of propelling players upwards.
Attaching iron fences on any sides will extend the magnetic field to that side at the cost of increasing power consumption.
Example setup: (magnetizer and iron fences)

Telekinetic Collector (Magnetizer + teleporter + other crafting circuitry)
Will "teleport" items on the ground in a radius of 5 blocks to the inventory automatically, at the cost of the same EU it would cost as if calculated by the teleporter, for a distance of 2 blocks.
It is a wearable leggings armor.

Moar to come.

In the the wake of the further development of IC2 (for MC 1.7.10 +) I'm looking for Useless ITEMS which are currently implemented..

If you find one, write a short or long Suggestion about the future of the object in these this Thread

Suggestion can be to remove it or add new game mechanics to use it or .......

Will gather great ideas and implement (them)over time

Grammar changes to make it make a little more sense

I could have fixed it for him... i will do it next time ~SpwnX

Since this one is going to be deleted anyways: You say "Items", does that include Blocks? ~Greg

I just took in consideration the "useless" part, blocks should be reworked for more functionality aswell imo ~SpwnX

There are no out right useless blocks like items, just ones which need adding to.

I just tought of "make already existing stuff better" ~SpwnX

How about making it so if you right-click the Redstone Upgrade, it changes it so instead of just inverting the redstone signal, it allows redstone control of the machine it's in? Or make it so when it's in redstone inverting mode, it makes the machine it's in emit redstone too?

Quote from Ultimoos

Someone was suggesting this some time ago. It's about terrafarmer. Suggestion was to make terrafarmer change not just blocks around it but a whole biome. If it's possible to make terrafarmer change biomes than please consider doing it. If it's impossible, than I do not see any real use for terrafarmer at all.

Also adding two missing types of TFBP would be awesome to obtain nether and end biomes (also those would be more resource intensive than the others).

Secondly, make Terraformers work using UUM. Every 1mB of UUM would transform 16 (4 for nether and end) blocks into a new biome.

@crops: That would have to make all crops derive from only certain ones, as of now everything is random.

The thing is, IC² crops own its own are good, but they are poor "content wise". For example add all the GT crops and then we have a complete crop system that is really WORTH doing.
If that would be possible, i could write a "spreadsheet" with all the crop mutations and possibilities and some mechanic modifications.

However, that is not the objective of this thread. We need to make "useless" items more useful than they already are.

The booze system can be reworked too. Maybe add ability to automate it, either partly or wholly, and make obtaining buffs simpler. Or add slips of recipes on it that are found in worldgen.

There should be a way to industrially aim to get one specific type, and a way to check the stats of a crop.

Did you remove the compressed Plantball or the regular one? And is the remaining one still made in the Compressor?

So the recipes are gone or do they now create regular Plantballs? Because using a Compressor is much more convenient than having to craft them using some other Autocrafting Mod.

Well if they macerate directly into Plantmass depending on what you macerate then everything is cool (except for me having to remove my own Maceration Recipes into Wood Pulp for Saplings XD). I have no Problems with Autocrafting Mods either, I just don't want IC² to depend on them for simple things such as Biofuel Production.

And Pipes are no Problem, we have Hoppers of vanilla MC already (and the Ejector Upgrades).

Oh and the Fermenter was a great Idea, it should also work on Forestry Recipes (I mean just basic Recipes to produce Forestry Fermenter Items/Fluids). It also reminds me on doing some electric versions of basic Forestry Machines in GT.
