Nether star as UUM product

How about an "Integrated Wither-Killing Machine"? To make it more balanced. Max EU/t is 2048.

It costs a nether star blueprint to make. In total, it costs 600 buckets of LUU (configurable) without any material provided
If the config is set to 0, the machine is disabled

- Subtract 50 buckets per Wither Skull consumed (max 3 Wither Skulls)
- Subtract 2 buckets per Soul Sand consumed (max 4 Soul Sand)
- Subtract 10 buckets per QuantumSuit armor piece provided
- Subtract 5 buckets per NanoSuit armor piece provided
- Subtract 10 buckets if a Nano Saber is provided
- Subtract 10 buckets if a Mining Laser is provided

Optionally make it cost additional EU. Additional EU cost is scaled with the UUM cost. Maybe 10 000 EU per bucket of UU cost?

Also, the processing speed of the machine is based on the EU provided.
Overclockers can be added. It increases speed by 30% and energy usage by 50%.

I can add ..but need a balace cost UUM and EU ....suggestions please

Is there a place where we could see current UUM/EU usage for specific items? Perhaps a wiki page or something would be nice where things could be discussed or at least viewed in a single place. Just coming up with a random guess for nether star isn't really possible when we have no idea how much other stuff costs.

Gravity/portal gun and portal frames use them too. Also BoP staff for getting to promised land. Quite sure there are other mods using them as well, that's just what NEI told me.

So probably just providing a default of maybe 400 and then a config for modpack people is enough.

Would they be destroyed?

Shouldn't be. I mean, they are used to simulate an automated Wither killer, after all, and those stuff don't break.

Although maybe Terra Wart & Milk should give a bonus...

They should be drained of all energy, though

i decided to write small mod that will add any recipe you like as UUM scannable, there is source code, you can compile it yourself or ask someone (including me).

			while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null)   {
				String[] tz = strLine.split("#");

				if (Integer.parseInt(tz[0]) < 256 ){

					mc.invoke(null,new ItemStack(Block.blocksList[Integer.parseInt(tz[0])]), Integer.parseInt(tz[1]),Integer.parseInt(tz[2]));
					System.out.println(Block.blocksList[Integer.parseInt(tz[0])].getUnlocalizedName());

				}else
				{

					System.out.println(Item.itemsList[Integer.parseInt(tz[0])-8].getUnlocalizedName());
				}




			}
		} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}
    }
}

it require config file to be created at proper dir manually.

syntax for config file is:

ITEMORBLOCKID#UUM COST#EUCOST

Code

with proper rewriting

you wont code it any better without importing entire API (with hurge side effects in case of update).

rawdev is placeholder name for mod (this is mod!) you can't compile mod without name, future discussion of modmaking pointless from this moment.
