When I was running my Miner today it usually used about 40 % of a Lapotron Crystal during one run if I remember correctly. Or maybe there were a lot of ore under my base ...

Thank you. Maybe I will do exactly that. Ultimately the game should be fun, not tedious. Building a whole Nuclear Reactor from scratch, while hard, is fun. Moving the Miner every time is not hard, just, maybe, a bit tedious. Though, maybe, this is done by Alblaka for a reason and shouldn't be changed *shrugs*.

There is a reason there is a config
Reactors.... there fun the first time you build them, Maby a few times after but it gets annoying after awhile (At least in my opinion) Granted ive build more then afew of them...

You obviously did something wrong, i suggest scraping the whole thing, start fresh with a new server.

Its kind of cheating in my opinion but if your in SSP i suggest going to the config and enabling lapatrons in miners, it cuts down on the tediousness of moving mining rigs.

Sooo.... Should AL or one of the other head IC2 Devs be trying to get in on the discussion? I mean, I think we are one of the larger mods, they would be representing a large group of players.

If not AL or IC2 Dev then what about the forge Dev's?

I have two questions regarding textures:
Under which conditions (if ever) is the tesla coil's "active" texture used?
What is the cell with the absolutely black content? It's between the water cell and the bio cell.

Thanks for reading!

I would think that the "Active" Texture would be use when red stone is applied, activating the targeting system.

black cell? probably coal fuel cell or H. coal cell.

Edit: Checked, there is no "active" state texture

Instead of current captcha try reCaptcha (

Alternate reCaptcha for users with less than 5 posts / unregistered users.

recapthcha is already in use on the wiki.

As in, their posts are invisible until enabled by a moderator.
This makes deleting spambot-posts easier, given I can remove n posts in n+2 clicks, which is linear work = good. At least in theory.

Of course we still have to find something against the spambots capable of registering...

How about some way of authenticating accounts that isn't as easy as using E-mail addresses?

Day 2:
A jumbled transmission broke through on an old Comms set last night, It said that somewhere in California a scientist got an old shield generator working.
It looks like we aren't the only ones left.
I just pray that it wasn't a recording... not again anyways

(I though i could give a hand ^-^)

Alternative idea:
Heat generation depending on biome (snow biome 90% of heat - desert biome 110% of heat).

New idea? Make a new thread.

Back to OP, i could see snow being a causac coolant but not as an external coolant, if you do your research lava doesn't add heat it just subtracts from air or water that provides cooling.

So as you all know v1.97 was released recently, well the addition of drops being able to be teleported got me thinking.

I made a machine with Redpower that will retrieve empty battery's, charge them and send them back filled.

Front View: Timer pulses every two seconds.

Back View: A Recharged version of whatever you will be sending must be place in the retriever.

Top View: Gold cable runs to the MFSU to show there is room for a cable.

If need be i will explain in depth or make a YouTube video of how this works.

I could see this as more of an addon, but with the ability to max out the stats (for a good energy cost ofcourse). That way for those who do want to go through agriculture pretty quick it would be an option, but shouldn't be a main IC2 machine.

+1 For addon idea.

I honestly like the agriculture system how it is, it takes a little getting used to but I find it rather full filling

Teleporter recipe was changed with new version.
Please check recipe

Dont get Durability and defense mixed up.
Bronze is a more durable (Longer lasting) iron armor.
I dont usually use composite vest but i think (Im not sure) they give you a higher defense against explosives.

It would take some getting used too, it should defiantly have a Config option though.

Weed Ex has negative effects on crops, there, now you know. There is no need to argue about wording and whats "Most effective".
What you really need to learn is that you have to take information on the wiki with a grain of salt, The wiki is the only place I see that is really lacking in IC2.

Name:
Balancer

Describtion:
This would be a type of special Block that attaches only to storage units. The purpose of this would be to even out the amount of energy in the storage units next to it. It would have 2 options, one is to balance amount of energy by percent, the other by absolute amount of EU. It should have a Limit of maybe 512 EU/t. An additional feature this block could have is that when it gets an input, it automatically distributes the energy to the Storage unit with the lowest amount of energy.

This would be extremely useful for making parallel storage units, as as of now, usually such Energy storage systems usually get used one by one.

Recipe:
= EU detector cable

So what your asking for is a machine similar to the balance pipe in build craft but for EU storage?

I dont see a use for it and probably wouldn't use it.

I'd like it if you could apply transformator upgrades to them to enable that, or something like that.

Its a little exspenceive but i usually use Lap packs if its not enabled.

This is a very interesting issue,
The first thing i would try is to try moving the two closer Teleporters a little farther apart.
For instance if possible try moving them parallel to the mfsu not staggered.

I would suggest not using coal as it becomes an important resource later on, i would suggest using charcoal.
once you get a single piece of charcoal you can use it to refine one wood into 8 more charcoal, its just as efficient as coal and in my opinion its easier to come across.
