When nukes go off, they should release a ton of Dark Grey Particles that after about a minute settle on the ground and become Little Piles of Radioactive Fallout. If you go near it you get Radiation Poisoning, unless of course you are wearing your Hazmat Suit complete with Compressed Air tanks
After a few Minecraft days the Piles should turn into Piles of dust which dont harm you. Radioactive Fallout should be able to be Picked up with a Shovel, giving you Radioactive Dust, which you can Centrafuge (If you have GT Installed) into little bits of Uranium/Plutonium. Dust Piles should be able to be picked up and they can be used in place of Scrap in the Fertiliser Recipe.

Also, talking of Fertiliser, IC2 Fertiliser should be able to be used in Forestry Multifarms (but for less as its a little cheaper), providing an actually possible fully automated Farm.

Have you tried to use a MFSU?

DAMN, NINJA'D!!!
Also, i tend to make a few early on then strap on my Crappy Vanilla IC2 Solar helmet and charge them while i actually start IC2.

1)[Nether Anthracite and Radioactive Isotope]

Well, remember of the old post I made about Anthracite and such ? I thought you could/should make it spawn like the other Nether Ores, but with a maximum of Ores per chunk even higher, but with an average of Ore per chunk quite lower. And I also thought you should replace that "Anthracite Ore" with "Radioactive Anthracite Ore", so it would be more Thorium-esque(/C14, because I suggested ... well, I guess you remember), with a bit less of Coal. So that would be a way of buffing Thorium, since its got nerfed and since I suggested to makes it unobtainable from Coal Ore (but Firedamp would actually be cool :D)

2) Thinking with a scientist point of view, I suggest you to make Methane 5 time rarer from recipes (so 4 H2-cells + 1 O2-cells would give only one Methane Cell) but make it more energetic instead. (so 1 Methane Cell would worth 225 000 EU). So it'd be more logic in terms of chemistry/density (in mol.L^-1)/Stoechyometric thingies.

3) What about Multi-Block Nuclear Reactor "components" ?
I mean, I thought we could add up to (8+8+4=20 blocks) which would affect the reactor, like some external vents, that would cool the reactor down, just like others, but without taking anyslot, or even Reflectors block, that could randomly add some pulse based on the numbers of pulses emitted by the cells, or some HA-Casing Machine Blocks to increase the global efficiency (as an example, one block could add 1% of efficiency, so 20 HA-Casing Machine would add 20% of the EU output per tick).

Like the Different heat vents could Lower heat a little (depending on the vent) and never break, but if it is outputing the maximum heat it can it makes everything nearby have a chance to light on fire. xD

Build #329 is now recommended!

-GUI now shows what modules are installed, as well as which ones are disabled in config.
-Module list can now be scrolled - small blue arrows will indicate when there is more on a page, and you can click the arrows or use the mousewheel to scroll. This mostly won't be noticed unless Andrew2448's addons is installed (which have had quite a few new additions!).
-Various bugfixes (item names, API mismatches)
-Custom models are go!


As promised, the visor and the crystals can be coloured separately from the main armor bits, and they glow in the dark! Extra bits and animations still to come, but this sets the groundwork for a variety of other .obj armor models if people want to make them.

Looks sexy.

@bove U SUCK U R GAY! CUZ THAT MUST BE IN IC2 CUZ IM 2 STUPID TO INSTALL ADDONS AND TO SPEAK ENGLISH SO U SUCK AND U R GAY!

I NO U R BUTT WUT AM I?!?!?!/11/1...321Q4QW

We can now have a Findus Scandal! Yay!

Honestly, i would much prefer work on pig riding. Its unique and kinda cute/funny how you can ride piggies xD

Which is what my item duct suggestion is for. We'll never get a tube from greg. He only makes square blocks.

Which is a shame, i could do models for him

Quote from Sinnaj63

@bove They are cheaper if used in unefficent nooby setups, but very well balanced in efficent exspensive setups like SpwnX's.

No, you dont get it. A Single one which only costs some iron and a generator can output anything between the same and 10x the output of a solar panel.
VERY OP.
Something like RP2's Windmill would be better, a large thing that needs alot of space.

Quote from MatLaPatate

Nope. They're as expensive as Solar Pannels, which means cheap. And you just need not tobe a noob to use them.

Was it you with the gaint ass Super efficient windfarm?
Or someone else
Becuase something like that makes Expensive Reactors completely Useless, aswell as any other energy thing.
In Normal IC2, They cost what, 4 Iron and a Generator, and in GT, 3 Carbon plates and a Generator. Thats alot Cheaper actually, since Solars in Vanilla IC2 requires 2 Circuits and coal dust and a generator, and in GT 2 Carbon plates, 2 Circuits, a Silicon plate and a Generator, And they can, if done right, Produce much more then a Solar panel.

Windmills are OP anyway
NUCLEAR AND FUSION FTW

Quote from ivan227

can i ban this "experience generator" from my server? players make a lot of free exp ..

Nope. Vanilla adds the XP Pretty much everyother mod that adds Item transportation gives the exploit.

Since Ilmenite is found on Asteroids and the moon, perhaps it could rarely spawn on end Asteroids, a little rarer then Sheldonite.
It is a good source of Titanium as it composes of FeTiO3, so Macerating/iGrinding should get you some of the dust, then Centrifuging for Iron and Titanium dust. Since the Only source of Titanium is UU matter and alot amount of energy for Bauxite, would be a nice new source.


And i use the automation sometimes

Quote from Vorg

You are forgetting the loss in wire going down. Copper can only go 4 before you need another bat box and while glass cable can go as far as tin and handle 512 eu, it takes lots of diamonds to make enough. this makes wind gens near useless for early bases unless your base is way up above the clouds.

Who needs Cable? FULL BATBOX FTW

Quote from Zudguard

I have a few thoughts, I hope this is the best thread to talk about them.

Firstly I'll say I am not a chemistry expert, I only did chemistry up to the final year in high school.

I was looking at the recipe to turn sugar into carbon and water cells in the electrolyzer and this did not make sense to me. A very fun little experiment one of my chem teachers did was to add sulphuric acid to sugar thus oxidising the sugar resulting in carbon.

I would propose that this would be the new recipe perhaps in the chemical reactor instead as (naming wise) it might make more sense, although you don't really need a machine for this reaction.

My second comment regards the red rock that is fantastic for many simple (gregtech simple, lol, not ic2 simple) materials such as aluminium, sodium, lithium and silicon. I am curious as to how these materials were decided upon. From what I know about red rock or soil, is that the reddish brown colour contains iron, or more accurately iron oxide. Fe2O3. (on a side note this turns to Fe2O2 a green blue colour when in an anaerobic state such as flooding)

I am not suggesting that the recipes are changed around this red rock unless Greg you think it suitable. I just always found it curious.

Sugar (Or glucose anyway): C6H12O6
You should get 1 Carbon cell, 2 Hydrogen cells and 1 Compressed Air cell (Which is practically oxygen in MC )per Electrolyse (or whatever ).

Do Batboxes have a Loss themselfs?
If no, just hook up the Windmills directly to batboxes and have a Ton of batboxes down to your base.

Nerf Computercraft by making all the Iron used in the mod Iron blocks, and all gold Gold blocks.
Simple nerf, people dont need to get into Gregtech to do it, doesnt nerf it too much but puts people off from using Computers for everything early on.

Pro Crafters just use NEI, they don't waste time on memorizing Recipes.

NEI? Whats that?
Ooooooh, you mean the Nuclear Energy Institute?

Quote from MagusUnion

So when are you going to go compete at MLG?

When he Memorises 101% of all recipes. Of course, we all did that ages ago. He just needs to catch up!

Quote from Quetzel11

Great mod!I love the advanced solars, and the advanced solar helmet was a stroke of genius. My only complaint is the lack of the additional quantumsuit effects on the ultimate solar helmet. I can understand it on the hybrid solar helmet, which is much less expensive, but as the ultimate solar helmet requires 20 iridium plates, I believe that it would only be fair to include the special quantum helmet effects on it. It is also extremely annoying to have to switch between helmets when fighting mobs such as cave spiders or wither skeletons, just to get rid of status effects. It also necessitates me having 2 HELMETS, which is an absurd waste of iridium! I hope you will consider my argument.

Its a nerf, Quantum suit isnt expensive, even with Gregtech. The only reason i make the Helmet is for a Solar one, since Poison and Wither doesnt do much damage casually, unless your fighting the wither boss itself.

Quote from GregoriusT

Yes, Stargates use wormholes, because wormholes are bending the Spacetime, while Tesseracts are a fixpoint to access everything.

You would need it for a Fixed Space (non Spacetime) Portal?
Like a Super tech version of the Mystcraft Crystal portals
