[GT-Suggestions] I still look at this Thread when I got out of Ideas for new things, yes really I do that. Even though I don't edit this Post anymore.

Greg, do you consider adding some form of GUI to the machine boxes (input/output/storage) and to the solar covers (showing how many energy is being outputted)? It's really hard now to distinguish between plain, LV, MV & HV solar covers...

Suggestion 2 :
Increased difficulty : will reduce natural regeneration by 4. [If a server admin wants to disable it just do /gamerule naturalRegeneration off]

New mob : Radioactive Creeper (Nukreeper), will blast off with a explosion power of 1/2 nuke.
It spawns at night, but only below Y 55. It is a radioactive mutation of normal creeper. Its spawn rate is rare, and it has 80 hp.

That dude should then have an industrial siren attached to it so you wouldn't blow up your base

Quote from SpwnX

If it gets charged (lightning), it will have 4 times the explosion power.

Quick, someone make an underground weather mod!

Radioactive Creeper (...blah blah...) 1/2 nuke (...blah blah..) 80 hp.

Damn you!! Just when the nightmares have finally stopped!!

So noone liked the zinc ferrite suggestion as additional uses for zinc?

Well, it's corrosion resistant so it might find use in machines where that is occuring. Perhaps it would be a material to use for those big multiblock electrolyzers-centrifuges that were hinted ages ago?

For corrosion resistance, there are better materials IRL that would also be easy to integrate into GT.

And from a gameplay perspective: it's not much of an iron replacement if it contains 3/4 part iron...

Quote from GregoriusT

The Problem with it was, that the Wikipedia Page on it listed no uses for it. Not even one single good use.

corrosion resistant, so to make advanced machine blocks.
Also, zinc oxide, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_oxide#Applications

Also, its not meant to be a replacement for iron, more like additional use for zinc.

I was thinking about a generator like this:

Oh god, that would be hilarious!

You'd have to decide on a place to get infinite fire from, though... I can think of burning netherrack, blazes, torches (lol) and nitor, netherrack might be nice as a low-yielding infinite heat source for a steam boiler (the new upcoming bronze boiler, maybe?) and entrapping a blaze for infinite energy in some kind of mob dynamo sounds delicious. Nitor just sounds rather cheap, unless the generator cost was comparable to or greater then a solar, and had the same or lesser yield... Or maybe it could even be a variation/upgrade of solar panels?

I said infinite fire source, not infinite heat source.

We've already established that your geothermal idea is awesome, and there's a very good chance that Greg will implement it. This is a new kind of generator, which exploits various sources of infinite fire rather then the heat of Minecraftia's core. Also, I like the slow draw of vis idea... It would have to be cheaper then an absorber/converter or more efficient to be practical, though.

EDIT: Maybe a generator, some thaumium/platinum, and some circuits/other odds and ends will give you a Fire Dynamo, which will exploit various forms of infinite fire for fun and profit, at various yields and environmental costs.

Examples:
A block of burning netherrack underneath it (or simply placing a block of netherrack in the slot, whichever is easier) will create a trivial 1 eu/t, but with the relatively mundane environmental cost of occasionally causing fire nearby.
Somehow trapping a blaze inside of it (maybe it will automatically trap any blazes it finds in a smallish radius?) will give a much better 5 eu/t, but causes the generator to require occasional maintainance, or the blaze will escape.
Nitor gives a lower 2-3eu/t, but will drain the local aura with 25-50% less yield per vis then an absorber, but has considerably cheaper and simpler recipe.

Your Reactor Manager is already in the game and called "Advanced Regulator", if used with a Reactor it can refill 9 Slots per Regulator. If you then add an electric Translocator to that contraption, you can easyly pull the depleted Cells out of the Reactor. No need to add a special "Nuclear Reactor Control Block" to the Game if it's already possible to do so with generic Devices.

Really? You mean that machine that has all of the randomly coloured GUI elements and weirdly-labeled buttons that nobody knows how to use? Sure, I'll hook it up to my Nuclear Reactor, just to watch it NOT pull out the components at the right damage value, and meltdown 2 seconds before I can shut it off. What fun.
Unless you've realized that severe error and made it where the machines can now extract components that are at or below the said damage value of the object selected to be extracted?

Greg, I think the important part of his suggestion he's trying to get at was the fact that there really isn't a good way to extract components that are about to melt. The only good way is to use redstone timers, which aren't exactly the safest or most versatile option...

Quote from GregoriusT

No, I am talking about the Advanced Regulator, not about the Inventory Manager.

But still, I remember using several hours of my time, a few months ago, to set up one of those DDoS-reactor designs, with your machines moving the stuffs, but it did not extract the coolant cells at the right time. It didn't even extract them at all, they just sat there melting.
