I suppose your options are limited to how much you're willing to build. You could do the less exciting options of lots of solars or pumping the nether of lava to fuel geothermal generators, or use a kinetic generator along with a wind turbine (kinetic wind generator in 1.7.10) but that does require rotors to be replaced after a few days if running constantly. There's other options still if you get more creative, such as running a tree farm to produce wood which can be cooked into charcoal then that used in generators. You could even use crops to produce biochaff, then ferment it into biogas which could be burnt for power in the semifluid generator.

You're certainly not short of options, even more so in 1.9+ where the old water and windmills are back with rotors.

Speiger has a Point, he suggested this thing MONTHS ago and you guys just ignored him.

That's a lie too. He suggested a long list that has been growing over the months. Adding things takes time, and his suggestions have never been totally ditched if they're given in a useful way. IC2 is in a better place than then too, there was still lots to port whilst there's just crops to go now.

That seems a bit contrived. But then I guess most of the reactor mechanics are rather contrived. While - on the surface - it would seem to simplify the use of MOX in fluid reactors the low (2x) efficiency multiplier would seem to make it even more difficult for a fluid based reactor to outperform a plain EU output design?

You get twice the output from it being a fluid reactor rather than normal straight off, which is a big boost. Providing you use superheated steam for the hotcoolant processing too, it shouldn't be especially hard to get a higher output. Whether it becomes all worth it in the end is another matter, fluid reactors are expensive setups for the boost they provide.

This is just a near word-for-word copy of your request 10 days ago, if you wanted to add anything then it would be best to post there.

And can you stop talking crap Speiger, development is in no way stopped.

So, the idea to me - of making a MOX reactor as a fluid reactor is somewhat of a contradiction: MOX reactors run efficient when they are kept at a constant (hot) temp, and that implies using components that do not cool the reactor chamber.

MOX works slightly differently in fluid reactors, it gets a 2x bonus when the reactor is at 50%+ heat, and nothing otherwise. It means designs are a little more predictable despite the heat fluctuating.

With the quantum suit now having an inbuilt jetpack, it's only the increased energy storage and power to tools that the gravisuite provided over it. With a portable lapotron crystal I suppose it wouldn't even be needed.

How does Gravitation Suite get along with the latest IC2 experimental versions for 1.10.x nowadays? I fully realize that the mod is tagged for 1.7.10, and that there were some massive changes in 1.8, but hey: asking is free And if I expect the worst, I can only be positively surprised.

Not at all, the latest version is only for 1.7.10. And with SeNtiMel not having been on in nearly 13 months, it looks unlikely it will ever be ported to a newer one, by him at the very least.

What is ARS?

Immibis's Advanced Repulsion Systems
[quote='Casualty Of Society','index.php?page=Thread&postID=202371#post202371']It was added in IC2 for 1.8.9, the video was an example using it a few hours after it was added. ARS's was removed in 1.5, or around then, as it was designed to injects water buckets and ice into reactors. It really had little point being in past 1.2.5 anyway, as it didn't work.

Giant lumps of generated basalt would certainly make it easier to get than waiting for pahoehoe lava to cool down. Do ores generate in the lumps or are they overwritten?

I love this mod, even if I only use it for the Time card, thanks for keeping the support up.
However I have a small problem. Is it possible to craft the BR, Appeng and TE cards? I am using NEI, but it doesn't show the crafting recipes.
Using latest versions of Buildcraft, TE, AppEng and Big reactors for 1.7.10, thanks.

Are you trying to craft the cards themselves or the sensor kits? You have to make the sensor kits so that the cards can be set to the block you want monitoring.

Quote from Speiger

Because ic2exp forces now a full API installed to use only 1 part

Packing part of another mod's API in yours is a very bad thing to do anyway, @Optional exists for a reason. And it hasn't changed to force it, just Forge complains now that all the @APIs on the package-infos are the same.

The best way of viewing recipes for 1.8+ is JEI.

You can adjust the frequency of iridium already with a resource pack, you'd be able to configure it differently for each type of chest too which is a nice feature of 1.9+.

Which type of cables did you use to connect them, and how long is the wire?

The crash itself is trying to call getId in the function to register IC2's own crops, which would only happen if an older version of the API was loaded in which it was called getName. It would be impossible for it to even get there if the method didn't exist at all, as it wouldn't have compiled. Meaning, the only way it could compile but then not run is that another mod included the IC2 API (as some do), which was loaded instead of the correct one in the IC2 jar. Whether some mods have crop compact or not isn't relevant as it is just IC2 in the stack trace.

Another mod will be including an outdated version of the IC2 API.

It would make more sense to host the new one rather than keep one that doesn't fully work anymore: IC2 Experimental Reactor Planner open beta

It's going to be a lot of trees if all those blank pages are filled

Happy 0.600 everyone \o/

Quote from Speiger

Yeah thats true. But you have to know this change too:
Magnetizer no longer charges the Blocks so you have to constantly power the Magnetizer so you can move up...
(Before it was you charge the iron fences and then you were able to move up even if the Magnetizer was empty)

It makes much more sense now, as the charge wouldn't just stay in the fences magically until someone walked into it.
