can I translate IC2 exp in german

yes

You need to use water cells.

Alternatively, you can just right-click the CF powder on water to get CF liquid, which you can right-click with cells to get CF cells.

As said before, this is bug in IC2 and NEI code interaction, but updating it would cause many addons to become borked up.

You can't get a fix anyway though, since there will not be anymore builds for 1.6.

You are misunderstanding entirely.

Let's say the macerators in in series like so:

(MFE)
(MV Transformer)

(Mac1)

(Mac2)

(Mac3)

(Mac4)

Assume all of the macerators have 1 transformer upgrade.

The MFE is outputting 512 EU/t. The transformer steps that down to 128EU/t. Mac1 receives 128EU/t, but it only needs 4, so it sucks 4 EU/t from the cable and lets the remaining 124 EU/t continue down the line. Mac2 grabs another 4 and sends 120 down the line. Mac3 does the same, sending 116 down the line. Mac4 receives 116, consumes 4 and returns the 112 back to the MFE. So even though it's a 128EU/t line, only 16 EU/t is used. Technically, you don't even need the MFE or transformer upgrades, this could all be done with a BatBox, but it allows you to power a good amount of basic machines off of a single line without fancy wiring.

No, if I'm not wrong, whenever the Macerator runs 128 EU lower than its electrical buffer cap, it will suck 128 EU/t from it.

So let's say its buffer is 1000 EU.
As long as the Macerator is at 872 EU or lower, it will keep requesting 128 EU from the MFE, every tick.

Hello guys,

i just started a new 1.6.4 world and noticed the IC2 E-Net has changed completely. I dont like the new mechanics, but well .. that does not matter i guess.

Will the E-Net change again in (near) future versions or does it stay "packetless"?

Best regards
Zacherl

They will change. This version is still temporary.

Eventually, they will change back to the "voltage"-based system.

The current system exists to help optimize the E-Net code, if I'm not wrong.

Thanks for the reply!

I have rotated the batboxes (thanks for the tipp), but sadly they are still not charging the ones below. However, I've just realized, that Tin Cables can tolerate up to 5 EU/t, but the BatBox has an output of 32 EU/t. This should cause the wire to burn down, but it does not. However, I wonder if it is the source of the problem. But if that is why they don't charge, why is one of them recieving energy correctly?

Cables currently don't melt and machines don't explode as the electricity system (E-Net) code is under rewrite and it is temporarily not melting so players can adapt to the temporary E-Net better. Cables also do not have any loss for now.

Additionally, cables have been buffed recently.
Tin Cable: 5 --> 32
Copper Cable: 32 --> 128
Gold Cable: 128 --> 512
Glass Fibre Cable: 512 --> 8192

How about add a new redstone behaviour: Analog output? Then 1/15 full: RS signal 1, 2/15 full: RS signal 2, etc.

And tooltips.

Quote from mak326428

Two blocks: Laser Emitter & Laser Fetcher.
Laser Emitter accepts EU and sends a straight laser beam. Laser Fetcher fetches that beam and outputs energy it received from that beam.
You cannot have bends/etc., it's just a straight laser beam. To balance it out, there is constant 10% EU loss. (the better the weather the lower cost).
Good idea?

Maybe add a deflector that has 40% EU loss?
And maybe a few signal relays that reduce EU loss by 0.5% each.

Quote from Weiling

Except the problem is that I do not think it's addons that use them.
I just used that IC2 addons .. What are the IC2 addons that could cause this?

I also have another problem, not the crafter "Mv-Transformer" in the list of NIS recipe, it offers a copper cable for the craft, and I tried the recipe wiki, it does not work not more.

Here's a picture of the recipes

Any idea?

Due to a bug, the MV Transformer recipe is wrong. (Fixing this bug would have broken many addons)

The recipe is
[Copper Cable]
[Machine Casing]
[Copper Cable]

Oh okay lol.

I kind of agree with this suggestion though. Makes sense. Then again, the chainsaw can be used to destroy grass etc and shear sheep and also a weapon. Maybe switch modes for the right-click ability? (E.g. mode 0 = charge on right-click, mode 1 = sickle on right-click, mode 2 = blocking on right-click.)

No, unlike many mods out there, IC2 developers won't give a fuck how many people leave the mods, and how many modpacks exclude it. Just because IC2 wants to head in a different direction doesn't mean it has to cater to its "audience".

By the way, the wiki is community-managed.

Don't use an MC 1.7.2 version on MC 1.6.4.

Edit: Grammar

The right-click place torch thing comes from Tinker's Construct.

If there was a mistake you could just put it here instead. They read this place, you know.

Here. IC² Classic.

They will probably update it for 1.7.4 instead of 1.7.2.

By the way,

Quote from Alblaka

!! Asking for release dates = Ban !!
Serious.
No joke.
Ask for any sort of release date, regardless for which part of IC² and you will be outright banned. No exceptions (excluding members of the dev team who WILL ask for a release date just to annoy me).

We will tell you when you got to exspect a release date. Or we won't, then you'll just have to wait.

Simple as that.

A warning, this version is more than half a year outdated, it is no longer supported, and it is very buggy, such as NEI problems and texturing problems.

Flappy Bird

First of all, thanks a lot for giving me feedback! Very few people did that, and I really appreciate it!
Now, to answer your concern about the balance of the Potentia Generators. As far as I know, you cannot use redstone to give energy to your machines in vanilla ic2. The possibility to use redstone as a power source for your machines comes from the translocators mod.
Secondly, in vanilla ic2 there is no way to get power from redstone, and that's why I used coal as an example for the amount of energy you got from 1 unit of potentia. As it is today, you get 4k EU per coal, and you get about 3500 EU per unit of potentia. Since there are 2 potentia per coal, I am aware that the yield can be considered as a bit OP, but I wanted to make it worth the cost, especially for crafting the machine itslef, since it is a rela pain to make.

All in all, I will of course add a config option for the yield you get from all Essentia Generators, but the default value isn't getting changed any time soon.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!!

No, you can get power from redstone (using it to directly power machines), unless that's been changed recently. It gave 300-800 EU, depending on which machine you placed it in.

I thought the general consensus was that logic and Minecraft don't really mix.

Except that GregTech has decided to implement a fairly large degree of science and logic, only altering to make balance.
