    For the Glass fibres, I was thinking more of some kind of Graphene sheet. Slice some diamonds super finely, combine atomically in a weave. Diamonds are crystalline, and so are good for optical transfer but not electrical, but Graphene on the other hand is actually a decent conductor.

    Yeah. Now it's more like "Data Cable", no cable for EU Stuff. :)


    Graphite(Graphenne) was suggest, because it has more uses. In leading electricity and even for consume radiation :)
    Also, IC2 should change "copper plates" can used in Reactors :)


    I think Lead is more real for purpose. OR make Thermal centrifuge able to combining 2 elements by creating another. Like IRON + LEAD > High - Resistance Lead Plate which can replace copper in Reactor components :)


    As i said little bit ago, Reactors have GIANT potential, and it's dont mean just in EU generating. It was enough added just Lead Ore and now you can make things in N.R. more realistic, more expensive etc. :)


    How cool should some things be... I know, it's probabl hard to code even "just" reactor, but some imagination and voilá, you've got new way of radiation, Glass Fibre Cables more expensive :)


    And, one more thing to G.F. cable. You need to cover Tin, Copper, HV cables. Why not G.F.Cables :)


    Something like Carbon Meshes combined with Vulcanized Rubber, and. And... great, totally some new ideas, need to update my thread and make it colored for better orientating :D


    Uber - Cool, I'm much more excited. :D

    That's not about OP gained things. But only with 2 mods, that start to be boring after some time.
    Forestry actually, i using only for multiblock farms for eat, reed for books and papers and for wood to build things, such asi Railbeds etc. By default i turning off genrating ores at level, then have only 1 type of copper, one of Tin etc. :)
    I don't want do Greg - Tech and using other mods forh help. I just using different mods for better experience ;)


    Mystcraft is fun, you know. Custom worlds with custom terrain, colored skies, colored grass etc. I almost always make for me Cyan - based everything in world what is possible, even water and after that living there :)


    And, you can sa then almost EVERY mod is OP, you know. Because every automatizatio is OP. Every doubling ores(macerator) is OP :)
    But, instead of that, you welcoming it. You are happy while you made your macerator, trying things how they can co-operate.
    Exactly for me is OP Applied energetics and system of storing. I loved RedPower based sorting :( I miss it. I miss giant storages, more steps to get things you want :)


    And finally, playing with IC or Greg - Tech. Lot of peolple think, then you need to automate that for better experience. Sure, some things, but way how Direwolf20 play. EVERYTHING NEED TO BE AUTOMATIC... :/ Boring for me. What if I automate everything? What else? Nothing.. So, thats reason why other mods, even if someone can think it's OP.


    Althrough... With Greg - Tech even Diamond dimension isn't as much OP as it is without. And anyone dont try lead us to go around Greg - Tech. :)


    Reason why we added it to our MC's is, then we want to play with it, isn't? :)


    Every mod has "+" and "-". EVERY :)

    Endless RTGs are fine IMO, as they require way too much fuel to generate considerable amounts of energy and that fuel is only breedable through reactor cycles, something that takes a looong time and uses limited resources (uranium).

    Actually that's good with IC2 stand alone. But you can got thousand and thousand of Uranium and only 1 thing ou need is MystCraft, which is traditional part of modpacks :)
    That's for others. I personally turn false every OP pages in Myst config as Dense Ores, Tendrils etc. :)



    But, i think at least config for endless / limited RTG fueling should be setted... IDK, something very looooooong but not infinite :)

    I'm about 50 50 with the things I like and the things I hate that you've changed. The stuff changed upsets me too much to use it :( Cheap fibre cables... Endless RTG...

    I think its pretty need have at least WorldGen in more ways ;) Endless RTG should be re-worked for some limit and cooling system. Maybe using right that reactor components for heat :)


    Well, still can't TOTALLY understand, but now better. So, for easy and short results.


    Windmill's have factors which can things makes better or more awful.


    Biome: More "windy" biomes, more EU/t, but limited with "power of rotor" and height.
    Rotor Type: Refined Iron = 2EU/t, durability 10 MC Days, Carbon = 5EU/t, durability 20MC Days, Diamond and Iridium. etc. :)
    Count of Windmills per "area". So, more windmills can decrease energy whic can be generated, because that filling decrease flowing of air and wind yeah? :)
    Also it should need probably from Iron Post or Cables maked slope for handling height. It shouldn't be functional without it.


    That's lot if things. I need some time for rewrite it for myself and my better understand :)

    Fertilizer just NOT much make faster growing. For stopping that, what's wrong is here Weed - Ex, so... It's NOT OP i think. I truly good ;)
    It should be bad if it was able to turn back into bone meal, this way, only scrap for agriculture... What exactly is OP? :D

    Just to say, since I dislike seing how english-speaking community is destroying French (^^): it's a E, not a é in the original Title ^^.

    Actually, I speak Czech, it's my mature language ;) So, sorry for that, I saw in lot of places princé :D And I'm sure that's about what is in book, not about name. :)
    But, you're right, sorry ;D

    I read it and I saw myself.
    Well, little bit time ago i confígure wierd, but functional options. Pretty known I think. Break portals. Make anywhere other, got to nether and left yourself to die there. Normally you spawn in OW, but instead of multi-portals you recieved this portal be connected exactly to that one you build in overworld, doesn't matter if you build 20 blocks away another, but I recommended you build another more then 100 blocks away, because nether is still 8x OW ;)


    For me functional on SMP / SSP :) Try it :)

    I don't know if he's okay with that, but i need to say I'm one who making new textures for him. I have personal permissions and he is okay with me using 512x GUI's textures.
    I need to say: "Sorry Greg if I shouldn't say that ;)



    First i need complete it, send it Greg and after it, if he agree with it, you'll be able to see it in - game :)


    I'm crossing my fingers :) :)

    Who said than Greg - Tech don't working on textures?
    I'm pretty sure here already is someone who make textures newer wtih more resolution ;)


    But, as you kno, greg want it lag free, thats reason why textures are still 16x, but... 32x shouldn't be so worse for blocks ;)


    But, it's needed to ask him personally, maybe he answer here by yourself :)

    GregoriusT, Player, and Thunderdark.


    Technically, SirusKing is in the IC2 Team but he's just spriting.

    "just" spriting... It's funny :) It's important too make textures look cooler, because you probably NEVER try mod which look noobish :D

    Some tweaks can be done to improve its usage :


    Add internal EU storage, which is instantly used to mass fabricate whatever thing is required. [Internal storage is equivalent to a mfsu]
    Add upgrades, so it can receive more EU per tick, be overclocked (consume UUM faster, at the price of using more EU) and eject mass fabricated stuff to chests adjacent.

    What about overried only replicated stuff and make and upgrade like that which already is. Mean now is "Ejector Upgrade" & "Liquid Ejector Upgrade". So, what about "Automatic Ejector Upgrade" etc.
    and not only for this one, but for all.
    Or make it both. Ejector for tell machine "Eject resource UP" and automatic "ejected it up" because it'll cooperate. ;)


    But, I would like to see something like that too :) Maybe some co-op with RS signal :)

    I still don't get why ppl think that expensive stuff means hard game play / higher complexity.
    Thats like a mod that replaces all plates with iridium plates: it just ends to farm/mine more. If this is 'fun' for you, why not increase the tick rates in GT cfg x100?

    You know what? It's NOT JUST ABOUT EXPENSIVE STUFF.


    If you have open mind or knowing from real life in advanced section of education(Nuclear Reactors, Cold Fusion, QED[Quantum Electro - Dynamics] you should understand it's MUCH MORE fun while IndustrialCraft is much more real.
    Recipes, how things work. I would like to see how you can get in real life in one day mined tons and tons of Iron Ingots. You aren't machine. Progress has own prize.


    My opinion for Greg's addon is like his "Taking industry to a whole new level of complexity".


    I'm not pretty much clever boy. I'm intelligent, have my own IQ, which probably never will be so "high" for technical schools or programming. But it's high for art, "feel things are pretty" and when are pretty. I can apprecieate pictures, sonates and things like Matthäus-Passion. If i listen, or reading books(my favorite is "Le petit princé"), it makes me feel like i can something create. After all years i listen stories, make my own opinions, i'm like behind me is 6 book i write, but never try to sell. Because it's for me.
    Also like making FanArt and try to be part of community.
    At all, my entire life go in art way. In way of emotions and when i start minecraft with IC2 + Greg - Tech and other mods, i can feel like I'm really technician. I'm scientist. And what Greg added to minecraft, it cant have prize. It can fill that empty "technical" part of my soul. If you can understand so lyrical. :D :D


    So, all that hard things are here for you. Actually, for you. I think he dont want to torture us with his stuff and hurt us with "OH GOD! I MUST MINE!", but at all, in that is power. It remember me time when i need to mine hours. Thing were harder to understand, harder to know and remember.


    You probably don't understand why people make mods or addons. There are few reasons and for my, one of that is make something for community, for people which give it prize by downloading it, play it.


    IC2 is for me things without i never want play. I have like much more mods and... Greg? That added there just "NEW LEVEL OF COMPLEXITY" to make it funnier and make you happy for longer time. :)


    So, try it better. You should understand that feel like you find your FIRST DIAMOND. This feel come with every single creating a new machine.


    But, thats my opinion. You dont need to understand, i just want to show you why some people love it and other hate it.


    It's about choose. Be lazy or be energetic and have passion for making things ;) ;)

    Or change mixed metal ingots to use lead instead of tin.


    Right, i should change it :) It's prett cool idea use Lead instead of Tin, so Advanced Alloy(another name for that) should have that protect in better ways, for radiation and also, for blow up.
    Maybe if there'll be RailCraft or/and Greg-Tech installed, it can too use Steel instead of Refined Iron Plate, or better, steel plate :)

    Personally, I'd just be happy with an insta-break crafting table. Crafting, even with mod, always seems a few blocks too far or a few crazy buttons away. A simple, real portable crafting table- two right clicks to place and craft, one left click to take back, that you can even place at the workshop and not carry it all the time, could get a long way over the fancier stuff. Maybe just 2 tin (for legs), glass (pole),, and an iron plate (for top)?


    I do like the idea of a Master Machine interface, that can view and use all machines around it without needing to hop around. (MaMI?, MaMa interface?) (isn't there something similar in one of the MFFSes*?)


    *I need a plural for MFFS.

    It's interesting idea. Maybe if it looks something like this? (I make little playing ;))
