NAME : Electronic Workbench
DESCRIPTION : As there is a need for a simpler interface/[hidden recipes]/portable charger to retur, theres my idea :
a special workbench in two tears for 2 tier craftting and for 3 tier crafting.
Benifits / specifics :
- To keep it clear, i'm stating that this in my opinion isin't game bracking, and dosen't damage the overal progresion and feel of IC2
- A full controll over the progresion of player
> Tier 2 machinery can only be crafted with tier 2 EW
> Tier 3 machinery can only be crafted with tier 3 EW
> Tier 2 EW can only charge or use as charging supply energy storage up to tier 2 energy containers
> Tier 3 EW can only charge or use as charging supply energy storage up to tier 3 energy containers
> UU-Mater can only be craftet into stuff in EW's
// if taken into acount that energy crystal is tier 2 and lapotron crystal tier 3 and the batpack is tier 2
- ability to transfer energy between the energy containers.
> like in generator - transfer power freely from one storage to another in speed acording to tier of the EW
- easy to break with an empty hand so that it is easealy portable.
- The recipes of tier 2-3 will be hidden from the all seeing eye of the "Recipe Book" *
// This feature will be kinda of a bonus for the Developers, whom i can see love secret recipes ^ _,^
- Tier 3 EW can only be crafted in Tier 2 EW
* given into thought that any crafting grids that arn't vanilla minecraft having separrate recipes dosn't show up in the "recipe book".
EW I is not here becouse it would be sherely stupid to limmit even wires to be crafted in thease...
Since Tier 4 isint out yet, i won't predict the future, and won't make a EW IV design.
Heres some images to express my suggestion alittle bit better : )
Crafting ideas :
EW II :
EW III:
//I've tried to keep in mind the overal progresion of player and that the materials needed would reflect the capability of player to unlock the next tier of machenery.
//with a +material cost for the functionality of EW's and enegy crystals to keep the game conseptiual "energy containers to store and transfer"
A little Vision of how it should look ingame :
And ofcoure the GUI :
No im not teriblle with sprites, just the time to make sprites is small, as my quantum boots & pants charge up, it's the same reason i made this suggestion xD
{*
If developers likes the idea, i can support them by creating sprites, or try to write the code.
I don't wan't anything for this idea, becouse it is kinda of a mash up of things i have saw or imagined
Just in pure refined and two times compresed form of idea + some gravel and obsidian : )
Since i know how much work it would take to code all this, it's like would change a s***load of core things, so you can use this idea like this :
EW as a charge bench / crafting grit / uu mater workplace / secret recipe place and+ without baning the whole techtree in simple workbech : )
BTW, i love the mod, it became new wanilla to me!
Giving ideas is a nice way to contribute somthing : )
and remember : true man sleeps on keybord!
