    Silver is used in the glass fibre cables :P
    Although it doesn't really make sense. I think Greg/Player may be confusing them with optical fibre wires...


    Really, Glass Fibre cables should be made of solid graphene, ie, carbon fibres woven atomically into a mesh.

    The only problem I have with the "Pay for features" thing is that the author obviously doesn't want to actually include it. The end result is usually MUCH better when you actually want to add/do it, and having it added for payment, to me, makes me think that it isn't going to be particularly well made/maintained.
    Although, The only instance I can think of one of these happening was from Pams HC, which I can sort of understand because, according to her, she had both lost her job and had major surgery at the time, so monetary requirements for a while becomes rather less morally bad.

    Its like, the company my dad works for works with liquid nitrogen and cyanide production. Someone tried to sue the company and said that their husband had died thanks to the companies horrible chemical use:
    He was a truck driver and accidentally drove his truck into a ditch, killing him.
    Yup, chemicals.

    Holy crap, I just had an hour phone call with my mother... jesus, she is such a pseudoscientist.
    Its actually rather depressing that people actually believe in this "new age science" stuff.
    Her main point it seems is that extremely low energy microwaves, like in area-wifi, can cause extreme cell corruption... -_-
    wut
    they aren't even of the right frequency to excite water


    Apparently she visited this huge conference in new york with thousands of the top-scientists discussing what is practically a mixture of applied kinesiology and incorrect physics. REALLY incorrect physics. For some reason this "Gathering of top-scientists" does not give any results on google or wikipedia. Huh.

    I think we should have something like in the nuclear reactor:
    -you have a machine in front of you (let's say a generator), and you can add some items to get it a bit better (I mean, better turbines, have a liquid that vaporizes better or stuff like that).


    Also, we could make the mod so that you don't craft something with the machine block, but you place the machine block in the world and then you add stuff in it, by opening a gui, taking your wrench, your hammer, the different cables you have, and you put your hands in the nasty motor oil of the machine.
    I think that's the best way to do a research thing.

    And have things blow up if you wire the circuitry wrong? :D
    Punishment is its own reward!

    i dont like the idea of a research minigame. it would just artificially drag out the game by slowing down progress by making the player perform a tedious task.


    Now that i think about it... a research minigame would go really well with the rest of the experimental build - also you can bash critics by saying, that they just dont like the research minigame, because it made the game "harder"


    ROFL

    Research mechanics don't need to be tedious at all, its just that many examples, like TC3's, was (in my opinion).
