[Addon Idea] Zeream's Advanced Science Addon for IC2

Quote from Xelanthol

I have one thing I wanted to suggest.

Railcraft adds the tunnel bore, which overlaps a lot with the laser miner.

Buildcraft has the quarry, not overlap but same deal.

What
would be really cool is a multi-block entity that you can sit in and
aim. THAT would be amazing, and that would be the reason I download this
:). Quite a few mods i've seen have multi block entities, and ICBM has target able railguns so I imagine it's possible.

I
would jizz my pants if there was a 3x3 cool looking machine that I
right click, hop into, and start aiming my mining laser, which then
outputs the resources out of it's ass end into a pipe/chest. It would
require power to fire, etc. Right now I do love the idea of the mod though, and I wish you the best of luck!

Ignore the random copy/paste formatting crap

I do like that, actually. Its very similar to how it was back in that Rock Raiders game, too. The problem is I have NO idea how to even start making multi-block entities like that, but I guess I'll learn. Its getting to the point where this mod might need multiple coders. I am just a beginner, if even that, and a lot of this is beyond me as to where to even start to code. I don't even know if its possible to connect energynet wires and buildcraft pipes to entities, but maybe a platform that the entity sits on.

I don't suppose anybody knows any shells that make mod making easier so I don't have to painstakingly directly code everything?

So you cant get a net energy gain with the fusion reactor if i understood it correctly? Then why build it?

Its a breeder reactor for heavy metals and a gambler machine for high EU in the long run. Eventually I'll implement iron, tin, and gold along with uranium produced in the process. So its less of an EU machine and more of a materials machine. Real fusion reactors have little to no energy return, so I felt I should do the same here. And make my own unique version of a fusion reactor in the process. If you want an EU fusion reactor, go see Greg's model. Mine is a heavy metal machine like an old star.

Its also a way to get EU back for other processes in the mod, but that's not the reason its implemented.

Perhaps. I already have recruited a few programmers from around my college. Once we get some of our code going you can join in. Be prepared for numerous email updates, so go ahead and shoot me your email in a PM.

Still open for suggestions from anybody!

No, its not dead, its just college has taken over my life right now. Considering the scope of this mod, my unfamiliarity with minecraft code, and my workload, don't expect to see this mod anytime soon. Suggestions might as well be closed for now until I can get everything together. You can expect something after winter break, because that's the only foreseeable time I'll have the freetime to get this done.
