Step 1: Install In-Game NBTEdit.(Here)
Step 2: Make sure you're in creative mode and cheats are enabled.(or you have admin powers)

Step 3: Place down an MFSU, this will be your box of infinite energy.
Step 4: While looking at the MFSU, type in /nbtedit.
Step 5: Click the arrow next to ROOT, click the word energy, then click the I icon at the top.
Step 6: Type in 1,999,999,999(No commas) then click save twice.
Step 7: Enjoy 2 billion EU

Note: This may not be too useful in creative mode as you can easily set up compact solar panels but this is still awesome.
Note 2: This works with anything that can store EU.

The config file resets to the default one whenever you start the game

Why isn't there a way to change the ID of the super conductor?

Did you plant it in a crop?

You are amazing! Thank you so much for updating this.. AND you made it independent without the need of ic2.. That's just fantastic. Now we can use it in vanilla if needed. Nice to see there are copper and silver chests now! Unless I'm stupid and they were in there before lol. I always just go straight for diamond when I can.

Fix'd
I also made a suggestion for DM/RM chests

Added 3 suggestions

I putted 8 stacks of cobblestone in my recycler with 9 overclockers and got 1 stack of scrap
weird
Edit: what items did you give it?
Here's my theory:
When you putted in items on the "blacklist" like sticks, you didn't get any scrap
You only putted "blacklist" items when you had 6 overclockers
And with the diminishing results, you putted in a non "blacklist" item but the randomness involved produced less then 8 scrap/stack

If you right click on the crops with a hydration cell it keeps using the hydration cell, even if it's used 2 seconds ago(and takes damage)
It can't be me messing around with time as I fixed that
Sorry if I've done something stupid again or Somebody already reported the bug
Edit: Fertilizer does a similar effect
Edit 2: It stops consuming fertilizer after a few clicks but hydration cells still don't work

So you are complaining about a valid balancing feature that is included on the original BC? ok.

This is IC2 and BC we're talking about, nothing is balanced

Isnt already implemented to be the more overclockers the more energy you waste in your machines?
I done an experiment and no enegry was wasted

Batteries charging and discharging more fast its a useless update because batteries usually charge at the maximum voltage EU amont, Batteries charge at 32 eu/t (LV) Energy Crystals at 128 (MV) and Lapotrons at 512 (HV). They dont charge faster due to the Individual Output of each storage unit and the amount of energy each battery can take.
Then they can (de)charge outside of those limits somehow

The energy storage mk2/3 its basically you introducing a Energy Crystal/Lapotron at the storage. I seriously hope you arent expecting these to stack since 10 of their respective batteries = the Energy Storage maximum EU. And if you make this upgrade to be on par with a Energy/Lapotron in cost... i rather make a new MFE/MFSU.
They should stack up to 64 and are mainly used for storing more enegry into a smaller space

The efficiency module may have a future... just remove 3 out the 4 special effects you gave it and it should work.
Unless there're hard to implant all the effects should stay

The recycling module, basically a overclocker module?
No, as you get more scrap per stack of dirt or something like thtat

Module storage upgrade, i was thinking of this one. Unstackable, each module gives you 2 more space up to total maximum of 8 (the starter 4 + 4 from 2 of these modules), but since these modules takes a space each, The Real Upgrade to Module space would be of 2 (6 different modules + 2 Module storage upgrade).
I want them to be stackable but only provide 1 slot, or even have the machine *eat* the upgrade and add another slot(you get it back when you break it)

Tesla coil module, cant say much because i have never build one.
It can be useful when you want to kill stuff in a large area and not use 20 of them

Solar Nightime = no. Moonlight doesnt produce enough light itself to make the solar panel to work, also not working on the night its the balance for the free constant energy you get from solar panels.
That's your opinion, I think you should get a little bit of EU at night

Mini generator... Meh i have mixed feeling about this one. At best you could make it so w/e the machine its in operation it will reduce the EU needed for working by 1... or just make the machine generate that 1 eu/t FOR ITSELF aka his own internal storage.

The mini generator should only be used to power the machine

Edit: I discovered that overclockers waste a little bit of enegry

I also suggested more upgrades and in my opinion, there're more balanced then the other post
http://forum.industrial-craft.…page=Thread&threadID=4045
It even suggests that more machines should use them

Did you people forget about this one? http://forum.industrial-craft.…page=Thread&threadID=2444

Although he only adds EU>MJ conversion, and a Petrochemical generator for burning the excess oil/fuel.

Although2 its not updated to 1.1 yet, but its owner its fairly active so theres quite a chance it will get updated soon.

I don't like that mod, as you still have to run water to the machines or have 100 small ones
It's nearly as bad as using fuel
Power crystals's mod features direct converting, which is what I want but I read that he won't be updating it which makes me sad
I hope somebody will revive it soon, I don't want to run water systems and complex stuff like that for BC enegry

I have a lot of ideas for modules and I would like to post them
But most of my ideas must be used by different machines and not just the 4 basic machines
I won't provide recipes but I will mention how expensive they are
Firstly, most machines can now use modules

The transformer can be used by any machine that uses power(along with the storage units) and can also allow machines to use better batteries
The enegry storage works in any machine that has a buffer(except the mfe and mfsu)
The overclocker upgrade now works with generators, geothermal generators, miners, pumps, eletrolyzers, terraformers,recyclers, your typing speed and any other machines like that I forgot(but of course it uses more enegry)

Now onto the new modules(In a random order)

My ideas:
The overcharger, usable by any machine that accepts batteries, will charge and decharge batteries faster
Enegry is also wasted by using them
This is about as expensive as crafting an overclocker

Next is the enegry storage Mk.2/3, they add 100k/1m enegry respectively and can only be used in a MFE or MFSU(Mk.2 only works for MFE and vise versa)
I don't think I need to mention how expensive they are

The efficiency module makes machines use less power, generate more power and reduces the amount of enegry *wasted* caused by the other modules(it also makes the mass fabricator consume less scrap)
It's pretty expensive though

The recycling module, works only with the recycler, it gives a better item to scrap ratio but also *wastes* enegry

Module storage upgrade, stores more space for modules, up to a max of 8
It's very expensive though

Tesla coil range upgrade, increases it's range but uses more enegry
Somewhat expensive

Solar nighttime efficiency module, Allows to convert convert nighttime light into enegry, 16 should mean that daytime and nighttime light produce the same amount of enegry(adding more then 16 does nothing)
Pretty cheap to make but better solar panels need more expensive versions

Mini generator, generates 1 eu/t
Price should be about 2 solar panels worth

Underclocker, very cheap, slows down machines but consumes WAY less enegry

Disguise, makes the block look like another block at the cost of 1 EU/T

Combine module, can't be placed in machines but can be crafted to combine 8 machines into 1
There are 3 tiers
Note:this is a similar system to advanced machines but it would be nice to have a dedicated item instead of XV transformers

I might post more later
I don't expect many of my ideas to get added but I expect at least one or two are added
Post your module ideas below and I'll put my favorites on this post
Nuclear reactors don't get module slots, don't ask why

Quote from FenixR

(Yeah im cool suggesting things for stuff that have just been recently released)

Anyway, i just had the idea of adding these 2 simple upgrades for our machines:

Battery Input: Will allow to increase the Battery Tier our machine can handle, from Rechargeable Batterys > Energy Crystals > Lapotron. These upgrades are non stackable (Only 1 per slot), so if you want to go from Battery to Lapotron you need to use 2 spaces for it.

Storage Space (Input/Output): As the name implies, this upgrade will "Increase" or more like "Add" more storage for their respectives slots, Each Upgrade can be stacked to a maximum of 4 and will give 2 extra slots per upgrade. There also could be a mix upgrade that increase the slots from both input and output by 1 each per upgrade, maximum stack 4. (Maximum Storage per machine: 8 for input and 8 for output, extra upgrades will do nothing)

I may have more upgrades in mind, but im still waiting for Scumbag EE to update because i cant live without those alchemical bags QQ so i cant exactly play around with the new system.

You shouldn't insulate him or you may get banned from his mod

OT: Battery input should just me merged with the transformer upgrade while the Storage space should stack to 64 like everything else(but lower the I/O caps to 4 and have 1 upgrade add 1 slot to input or output)

Coming soon:
Advanced crops(the stick things) that destroy weeds
It will happen, trust me

Quote from Player

Don't edit the post away, that'll render the search function useless. You're usually not the only one having a specific issue.

Ok, I made it a help topic or something like that

Sort of off topic edit: Lapatron crystals also don't work with the cropnalyzer, but enegry crystals do
I'm not sure if it's a bug or not

Quote from libraryaddict

Dont tell people to delete your post.
Because if you do that, Then when another person tries to find out the same bug
This is going to happen again because everyone just deletes their post and no one else learns from it

Reason we have a search function ya know

You're right
I'll request a lock instead

Oh yeah
I used the timeschedule 6:01 5:59 command
I feel really stupid now, sorry

See my theory on how it works
Try out the bug yourself, it's more common then you think

Quote from FenixR

Do it several times (Its not like its going to break anyway) and it should show the correct amount. Do note that for best results try not to aim at any transformer or Storage unit.

Oh
But it's still annoying and should be fixed
Here's my theory
Every like 64 ticks it adds an insane amount of ticks instead of 1
If that's true, then it's impossible to get accurate readings
