    Not in RL! Look at the section about Project Rover


    Also, if you say that about the LV-N, what do you think about the ion engine?


    How much thrust do they output IRL? :P


    The Nuclear engine isn't THAT bad, you just need a huge amount of them and i REALLY don't want to do asparagus rockets (it feels cheaty :P)
    Also, although ion engines have a tiny tiny tiny amount of thrust, they are GREAT for satellites (at least when changing their orbits ever so slightly) since 1 tiny can of fuel lasts forever and you don't need a ton of thrust.




    Also Also, is anyone else getting an out of perm gen memory when placing an IC2 machine?


    If no one can fix this, I am going to have to redo the client again :P
    I havent played minecraft is nearly 4 months o.o

  • Water mills.

    you could put it that it checks even every 2 minutes or something high. 20 blocks of water is an awful lot to move just for the luls :P

  • Water mills.

    Realisticly it wouldn't work anyway, since it would require slightly more energy to pump the water into the turbine then you would get in return.



    Heres an idea:
    Remove the water bucket GUI thing (its just... meh...)
    make watermills check if there is at least 20 blocks of water nearby (So you would need large pools, instead of silly 3^3 cubes)
    Output 0.5eu/t each. Sure, they may be cheaper then solar panels and can output 24/7, but they would require much larger infrastructure.

    I know what geostationary is :P
    Even then, I would not be able to get it 100% perfect and after a long time they would still move out of allignment.
    0.1m/s x 86,000 seconds (1 day) = 8.6km out of alignment per day :P

  • Random rants about aspects of game Balance and democracy

    Sigh, let me copy my FTB forums post.
    "Well, the first thing was the removal of refined iron. It didn't make sense and its recipe collided with many mods, making them incompatible. When that got removed, something was needed to make the recipes unique and non-clashing again (The wire recipes also clashed with several mods). The addition of the hammer also allows for a cheaper material in crafting (For example, in RE batteries, Material cost was traded for a little bit of crafting time).


    Although they cost for both the hammer and cutter 10 iron in total, it saves you both fuel from smelting refined iron AND saves you a ton of smelting time (Ignoring the metal former).


    Besides, for those 5 iron per tool, they give you a huge amount of uses. Even then, its not like iron is expensive. (In vanilla at least, an hour of spelunking usually yields a few stacks of the ore, if my inventory can handle it)
    "


    Besides, what looks sexier as a recipe for say, an RTG: 1 copper block and 1 iron block, or 4 Copper plates, A Machine Box and some conductive copper coils?

    Lol, but God could be a coward hiding from the Penguin, or God could have killed the Penguin before getting eaten, or even worse, God is actually the God eating magic Penguin and ate all other Gods.


    In the end, this logic is quite wrong.


    Ah but you see, this is a magical immortal omnipotent omniscient penguin who can do everything and is everywhere/when. God is "God", the only "God" and so no other gods exsisted and "god" is not infact the magical penguin. Since both "God" and the penguin are everywhere and when at once, "God" cannot hide.
