[Suggestion] Some recipe changes

Recipe Changes:

Some recipes could have some hayo-ist improvements to make a little more sense and give gold cables a little more use rather than jump to Iron/Glass:

MFE and MV Transformer: Uses 2xInsulated Gold Cables instead of Insulated Copper cables.

HV Transformer: 3xInsulated Iron cables instead of Insulated Copper Cables.

Teleporter: Uses 2x Gold or 3x Iron Insulated Cables instead of Copper.

Electrolizer: 2x Gold Insulated Cables instead of Copper.

I was also going to suggest the addition of Gold Plated Circuits (Uses Gold Cables instead of copper, albeit less cables maybe 2 or 4 + 1 circuit), to make mid game recipes a little pricier and to avoid people jumping to the late game so quickly, but i noticed that properly placing these circuits would be too much of a bother.

Pretty much, in IC2 we abuse the heck out of Copper Cable to the point where its the only resource we are constantly exhausting, more so than tin or uranium.

I would love to see Gold Cables in the advanced circuit, but that would probably overload with too many "Expensive" materials. (Regular ones are made with copper, so why the advanced ones are not made with gold too)...

Quite honestly i would love to see Glowstone dust removed from IC2 recipes to use Gold Dust directly instead.

here is a thought why not make it so you can craft circuits with either copper or gold wires?

Gold Wire would basically be a waste in a simple circuit.

unless gold was the only thing you had (vanilla, super flat, sky block, and feed the beast maps for example) yes it would be a waste but its still an option when your short on copper but you have a gold crop farm

Once again, i never bother suggesting stuff with those maps in mind, they are supposed to be a CHALLENGE with what you have in hand, no need to make things easier for those who plays those maps. (In vainilla if you can find gold, then you can find copper too)

I would love a revamp to the crafting system currently in place.

A better flow, and a more logical approach to increasing technology would be nice. Gold is hardly used, and it really should be used more.

I always though that a machine (Assembler) needed for the Mid-Higher Tiers of machines to be a good idea. It will certainly would give more freedom to Items Recipes.

Railcraft does this somewhat... Honestly, the concept is nice- but I find it annoying as hell in practice.

Unless you mean it's something that has a GUI asking for what item you want built and you have to select it, give it EUs, and it crafts it. That would be nice. It could add other ways to curb the tech tree as well.

I'm a fan of the TC2 researching- and it's something a lot of mods could benefit from. If they use it sparingly, at least.

Nope railcraft concept its what im talking about (Although i only messed with railcraft once a while ago), You don't only need the recipe+materials but you also need Energy to make the machines.

To make things simpler, the machine itself could store already made recipes so you only have to place the materials a la "Project Table" of RP2 to make it with a few clicks. Of course old and vainilla recipes could also be made this way so its like a super upgrade for the crafting table.

Higher tier recipes of course should only be available using the assembler. (The assembler could even use a bigger crafting grid if it likes to do so)

And yeah i also love TC2 researching, although i would like if it were a bit less randomish.
