1. Reverse Engineering 2. Extracting Water/Lava Cells

Just like the title says, i have two ideas i would like to hear if anyone else agrees.

1. Reverse Engineering Table
- blank space for items on left, on right would be a materials list with a accept button at bottom
- When an IC2 item is placed on left, all materials required to craft that item are listed on right. Clicking accept will give player those items.
- Reasoning: I can't remember how many times i have upgraded to a better item (or changed my method for a function) just to have the old one sit in a box because i no longer have any need for it. This mod would be awesome.

2. Extractor modification
- add a space for a bucket.
- player places a water/lava cell and empty bucket, receives full lava/water bucket and empty cell.

Anyone have any thoughts?

1. Already suggested before many times, i personally think it is good, don't remember other people opinion.

Hmm, i searched for the idea, but maybe they had a different name. The idea is so easy to create, why hasn't it been done yet? you only need to create one new block and it doesn't need to interact with any other blocks so coding would be relatively easy; Doesn't need power, or any type of fuel.

2. It would be good, although there aren't many reasons to do that, tin pinchers will like.
2.1 Harvest lots of lava somewhere (nether?) with tincells, go to base and extract them on buckets, feed geos , repeat...

Tin pinchers? lol. Hey man i play my game like i do life. If we can't learn to recycle in a simple game why would we ever do it in real life where recycling is infinitely more difficult? haha

Yeahhh, I don't think a machine that requires no power to run is going to go over very well in a mod exclusively based upon electricity in minecraft.

I can see that argument... for about 5 seconds. The items/blocks created by this mod belong to the devs. If i were to make a mod to do what i suggested, i would need their source files for the entire IC2 mod. And after that, if even got so far, I would need to keep telling people to download my mod alongside theirs as soon as they come out with a revision ... yeah, it'd be better if they made it.
Shoot, if someone WANTS this machine to require power, then whatever. I'm down, i just want to use the thing.
