New machine ideas for future updates?

    I'm thinking some lava melters or power converters. What about you? (I'm playing 1.7.10 if that matters.)

    I wonder if you can make an infinite lava source using the melting mechanic of a nuclear reactor, cobblestone generators and pistons, and pumps... the pumps would have to be just outside the melting zone, because I can't find a way to retract pipes automatically...


    EDIT: Nope. I tried, but it makes flowing lava instead of source lava (oh well).

    Iridium reactor plating (as for what it does, i'll leave up to devs)


    Heat Sink (same as fluid distributor, but for heat. multi-heat in, out to 1 block or vice versa)


    Lith-ion batteries.


    short range Air-gap power transmission (think tesla coil, but i think this has been said time an again not to be feasible)


    using the wrench on a luminator should change the way it looks.


    an upgrade that when present in the replicator, causes it to build the item from pure energy (at a much higher energy-price than UU matter, possibly only 50% of the item can be built this way)

    I like the power transmission idea. Maybe it could have a teleporter with some gold cables in the recipe. Also, if there's a tree planter and/or harvester, let me know, since I don't know of one. And does the luminator use EU? I've never used one.
