Potato Batteries!

1st Official Post

    When I heard that potatoes were added to MC, the next natural conclusion is that potato batteries should be added in IC. You could make them with a potato, an uninsulated copper cable and a tin cable, and should contain about 750 EU. When they're empty, right click and you get your cables back. (This destroys the potato) I can imagine some crazy automated farm producing potato batteries.


    Also, for the lolz, Potato GLaDOS should be a possibility. Add some circuits, and BAM, GLaDOS quotes are just a click away.

    I like the storing 750 EU bit, but the Glados quotes are already in the Portal Gun mod, with a PotatOS item.

    You get energy from cables, not from potato. Also there already is SUB in IC2.

    this is really an aesthetic rather than utility suggestion, and I think its awesome.


    Though, in the interest of making it also (potentially) useful, perhaps it could be placed onto wires as a single use generator, rather than another battery?

    I'm against because I won't be killed for EU! ^^
    Seriously, it's kinda strange, but it would seems fun as a "secret" recipe for SU-battery ^^.


    Soon with Molten Salt Reactors, right ? :D
    NERF THA FUSION REACTOR!

    HELLLLLL YEAAAAAAAH!

    The IC2 forums could really use a lot more of [REDACTED], [DATA EXPUNGED] and ████████.


    I'm in a so called "after-school". It's freaking fantastic and nowhere near as boring as normal school!

    Maybe we should have a Mat-Potato Battery ? :D (only speaks French).


    One thing i realized i would love to happen. Mat getting killed by a Tesla coil. I guess he became (puts on sunglasses) A French Fry! YEAAAAAAAAA

    The Viper will hide in the shadows... unseen... unheard... and when you least expect, she strikes.

    xD. We should also need mash potatoes and such recipes for macerator ^^.

    I know! French Fry! both nationality and food. Its PUNfect. well this last one is bad, what will be my PUNishment? ^^


    Mashed potatoes... a good idea for a food in MC :P

    :S yea...no this sugestion in my opinion is pretty stupid. Chances are, unless you spawned in or neer a village, you will find copper, tin and redstone before you find potatoes. the Battery is cheep and no matter what you still need a generator so i can't see any one using a potato battery. using it in a small explosive would be another story

    I approve of this. even if it has little actual use, potato batteries are too good a chance to miss. and what happened to HAYO? We need this NOW!

    I like the idea of potato power.


    For recipes how about...

    Filling cell with potatoes


    Each full cell could have about 5 operations
