[Addon][1.6.2+] Unidye - Get more awesome for your IC²!

This generator would be nice if it effected every chunk in an 8x8 area but itself.

I'm honestly not a fan of turning a simple dye generator into something that effectively destroys the world. It's either going to be really OP and cause the server to have wasteland all over, or be completely unused and wasting a block.

This is kinda what I was thinking.

Also, this mod does way more than dyes now, maybe a rename or at least changing "Getting your Dyes to the next level!".

"Getting your Dyes to the next level!"? Sounds ridiculous. Why would I have that kind of title?

Exactly, what was I thinking?!
Sorry about that, no idea what came over me.

To be honest, if the Chromatic Generator were to be implemented, I vastly prefer the initial suggested implementation over any world-scrapping (not because I came up with it). Quarries are bad enough for the world as it is.

For the early game when only a few dyes can be produced in significant quantity, the EU/t and EU/dye are rather low, but it's enough to keep a small number of LV machines running off a charger. They also can't be effectively automated without significant infrastructure in the form of AppEng (three precision export buses) or two GT retrievers (I suppose four hoppers + chests also works, but you will pretty much have a 3x3x2 multiblock 32EU/t that only outputs from the top or bottom, and require manually filling four different chests with specific dyes), so 32 EU/t for sixteen dyes + unidye is quite balanced. It would be useful in its own right but not displace any form of conventional power generation (because really, if a 1152 EU/t generator happened, you would just set it up 4k blocks away and abuse the shit out of its staggering output and completely skip an age.)

Whoa that was fast lol. I didn't think you already got around to implementing it, much less having both ideas as different blocks.

Make sure to code a block blacklist(or whitelist?) into it, or you'll suddenly find bedrock turned into scrap and a chunk-sized hole at the bottom of the world. I suggest blacklisting bedrock and all tile entities by default.

You can automate all my machines (and now generators!) with a single pipe from any side. That's why my Crystalliser got so many tweaks, because that's complicated as hell for 4 inputs.

The Monochromatic Generator will turn things into scrap ore, only ignoring Air, Bedrock, IC2 and GT Blocks. Maybe also all kinds of TileEntity. Also, it will remain disabled (it's not implemented yet, the chromatic generator is) until I can provide a way in my config to add new Block IDs to that list. Before I do that, I want to make a Crystalliser config to disable every recipe by writing its OreDict-Name in my config. So those are the priorities atm

But yeah, coding generators is quite easy if they don't have an internal storage (which I'll also implement).

You should try to make your generator generate electricity to the amount of the one in mine factory reloaded. I think it's a bio generator or something but It can generate electricity of of anything that's a dye.

What did you use to make your GUIs?
