I have an idea: What about a blazinator? A machine that uses lava and some materials (for balancing) to create blaze rods. They are pretty important yet very annoying to get.

Be careful or my next feature is gonna be transformers..and convertors.

Buildcraft's, I was warned about making machines before my mod isnt a @NetworkMod, so I just copied buildcraft's networkmod declaration, not noticing that the PacketHandler.class was a Buildcraft custom one.

Copying something :B

I think it should use Red Yellow and Blue, the primary colors, alongside white and black, achromatic colors.

How did I end up what?

And Cyan and Magenta is essentially every base color and black and white, but yeah, should tweak the numbers a little.

Any tips on how to progress in my IC2/GregTech world? I have most of the tier 2 IC2 Stuff, as well as an assembling machine and now I am trying to get a bigger steam tank as well as a RC boiler. I am producing a little biofuel as well.

Should I build Wind towers? How can I get stainless stell apart from mining 10 million rubies, hoping for a lot of garnets?

That's nice, honey.

Version 1.2.0a: Little Hotfix for problems because of using BuildCraft's packet handler by accident.

Version 1.2.1: some fixes/improvements, only minor ones. Unidye costs now 1 Cyan 1 Magenta 1 Black 1 White Dye.

Wouldn't be the first the science -> journalism transition is somewhat full of mistakes and misunderstandings.

@new blocks mod: have you tried using the 1.6.2 release in 1.6.4 mine craft? Should work regardless of .2 or .4

Looking at the source, no I didn't..Neither in TileEntityWoolDyer nor BaseIC2Machine.
Why?

I feel a lot more scared of my new machine now...

Well, you are actually supposed to always(!) backup your world before updating an old mod or installing a new one, there is always a chance that weird stuff happens and I don't want to be the one who broke your world without telling you to make a backup.
The machine should be working fine (a little primitive, but not malevolent).

Version 1.2.0 out now...not literally now, but just wait for it!

- Wool Dyeing Plant (woo!)
- some things for GT
- some tweaks
- look into the Changelog

resulting questions from me: Greg, is there a way to access your items to use them in recipes, similar to IC2's Items.java? I want to use for example the conveyor module or add another recipe for one of your machines and if it's possible, it's not too obvious how to do it.

Next things will be rewriting a bit of my code, adding Upgrade support (that's gonna take me a while I think) for the Wool Dyeing plant, more GT recipes and things from the "what is planned" category. I will also try to make a quick video spotlight soon. Have fun with it!

Important EDIT: Back up your world! My machine was fine during testing, but weird stuff might happen and please don't blame me.

What if I made a horse that completely consists of cookies?

If Handsome Jack from Borderlands 2 can have one out of diamonds, I can have one out of cookies.

EDIT: Are the OreDictionary tags for IC2 different from those listened in its API?

Donkey Cart? but it's not just a Donkey cart!

It's also a Horse and MuleCart!

We'll just give people some suits made of flowers and rubber, and everything will be fine.

Why not have minecarts or other form of vehicles dragged by Horses or Donkeys? The idea:
DONKEYCRAFT!

Actually, we can calculate it according to this information : "The company is experimenting with a mini-turbine that would use about eight grams of thorium to fuel your car for 100 years"

Density is 11,7 g per cm³ so...
8/11,7 = 0,683 cm³ , less than a mililiter (1cm³) of thorium.
That would be a cube with n = 0,88cm.

Well good luck shooting at that.

A shame the article did not mention the size of the fuel rod.

But...think of the action movies! Exploding fuel is much cooler than a little exploding Thorium

In unrelated news, I have found my arch enemy: Testing.
Wool Dyer: works, I tested it with the wrong recipe.
OreDict Crafting in a big loop: works, the itemstack I used to test it was somehow damaged, even though that type of item couldnt even be damaged (wtf).

I dare to claim that that's what they used to think about oil.

Well I meant Thorium before using it as a car fuel will be cheaper than oil at that time. Once it's car fuel, I smell inflation.
