Ecological scale !!!

It doesn't need to have something visible it could be like in that... Magicraft..or smth when you purify crystals they pollutes environment (aura) so bat thins starts to happen to avoid it i usually build those filters which forms chimney like structures so power plants could become nice with filters on top, my idea in this post that it is quite possible without heavy changes just add pollution level var to every chunk, trees could reduce it (if not too high cause the pollution can kill even trees and hurt player) so for ex nuclear explosion could set that var really high, you wouldn't even need radiation it just be high pollution and while you are in chunk you are getting poison and stuff.. So go someone start making addon while ic team decides this idea.

ThaumCraft?

nuclear energy is safef! .... oh wait ... Harrisburg, Chernobyl, Fukushima, fuuuu.. and our german friends should know the problem Asse actually they can't find room 7 filled with nuclear waste...
There are no safe place for the waste. Every Mountain is moving, every time.
But in Minecraft there is no problem. We have excellent wooden chests! HAYO

There are some ideas too recycle the uran again and again. But this don't work at the moment...

anyway

Storage Boxes are boring. Want flowing water to build a big pumped storage power plant.

Why are lava gens so clean?

all lovers of nuclear waste and New Vegas take a look at: ICBM There is radiation implemented.

Well ... your post is quite ununderstandable, as it seems not to follow any sort of logic ... To be honest, I thought at First you was a Hyper-advanced SpamBot ...

And as pumping water as Storage devices ... it could work with Railcraft (I've already also thought about it) but with IC² alone, it's hard to do ... the question is: has it enough interest to be considered ?

Quote from Thiago1505

what do not have logic,is i spend hours burning coal in a generator and not pollute the air.

I a spambot...seriously, you is incomprehensible.

... You forget the verbs in your first sentence, and we say you ARE
But ... what do you understand ? I didn't meant you so ...

WOAH WOAH WOAH! Before anyone gets confused, MatLaPatate thought Temdur_XXIV was a spambot, not you. And, since I'm replying anyway, sounds nice, has been denied.

MatLa

It doesn't mean anything like that ... In french, it means "Mat The" ... when qoting my username, you should just say "Mat" or MatLaPatate entirely (wich means ... Mat The Potatoes, with a rime ^^)

This is my opinion.

I think this is a great Idea. It actually makes it much more interesting and realistic.
Also, If certain generators worked better or worse in certain biomes, that would be awesome.

so this is what I think:

there are 3 types of "regular generators" now:
Generators that use coal
Generators that use natural gas (not sure how you would exactly obtain it)
and generators that use oil.

all 3 of them have just as much output and pollute just as much.

List of clean generators:
solar panels
windmills
Geothermal generators
water mills

List of "bad" generators:
the 3 listed earlier

Ones that don't necessarily fall in any category:
Nuclear reactors.

I think that nuclear reactors should produce nuclear waste.
The waste, just like in real life, would have to be stored somewhere.
You can't process them in recyclers.
You can't put them in normal chest.

what you have to do is craft a chest that is designed to hold nuclear waste (I don't exactly know what the crafting recipe would be) and nuclear waste doesn't stack so If you were to run solely off of nuclear power, you would need A LOT of those chests.

So, yeah. my thought. whatever.

But I think this is a GREAT Idea!!!

Theres also too much space in a minecraft world to make it an actual issue.

Only if you stay nearby ground zero, you can always move your base far enough so the contaminated chunks get unloaded making it, again, a non issue.

Throw that nuclear waste on lava aaaaaaaaaaand it is gone!

Wouldn't it explode if you did that...?

There's actually no code like that in MC, it would need to be coded entirely.

nuclear electricity ha had the least amount of fatalities in any power industry.
oil, coal, gas... all have had over 1000 accidents. nuclear has only had about 20 or 30 accidents. bear that in mind when evaluating the safety of wombat nuclear power, as it is actually te safet form of generation. waste? douse it in water for about 5 years, then seal in a tank and throw in ocean!

Quote from SpwnX

After some time radiative isotopes will break the tank and be released on the enviroment, better not doing it. Thats why actual waste (UF₆) tanks are not thrown into the ocean and have long-term maintenance.

Really? well then, I am in a whole LOT of trouble. anyone have a nuclear-waste-from-bottom-of-ocean retrieval ship I can borrow?*looks back at reactor* WOW that's a lot of output. what the.... ok, that's WAY too much waste... *turns back to SpwnX* aaaand a processing facility too? come to think of it, I never even built a reactor.... ok, WHERE IS THIS WASTE COMING FROM?
