[quote='darenton2k7',index.php?page=Thread&postID=21445#post21445]I thought the OP posted this is the wrong forum, and I thought he was using IC2. >__>
Got to agree here, such sort of wrench bug is unknown in IC1, but known as lacking Forge-version in IC² ^^'
Looking foward to the results. Basically, when you say you intend to work on something, it puts my mind at ease. I am confident that the result will be worth the wait.
Trust appreciated 
Personally I think it ought to just fix the sound (add a lower volume constant sound when it is cycling), or take the same method it used to have in IC1, where it waited for enough power to do a whole cycle (One item processed) before starting) which I imagine would not do a good job deafening people. (I might actually reenable sounds then, and not smell burning rubber SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCHH)
Uhm, in IC1 it worked the same way, just more unoptimized.
Same as the other 2 threads, configurable gen output will be implemented, then it's up to everyone for himself to nerf/buff them based on his own oppinion.

Then make it no need EU to keep activated.
Easier to code right?
it would just send a shock on nearby alive entities at cost of durability (EU)
That would work quite well.
Probably overpowred, still, though :O
From SpeedDaemon in the 'Lava Cell Factory' thread...
Uhm...
I'm not sure what the miner will do if you mark lava as generic ore... in worst case you will have lava-blocks in your chest, regardless of the pumps :O
Unless you elaborate your "suggestions" more, no.
Due to the ridicolous upcoming of complaints and flamewars caused by the whole solar-op-discussion (started by an entirely unknown Let's-Play-Maker) i will implement exactly this idea.
Gives everyone the ability to fix the issue for himself/his server in whatever way he likes.
There already is one - it takes 5 UU-M to make 48 clay.
See, outsmarted myself already :3
*solved*
No.
Diamond Drill is already the most balanced overkill i could implement
You're free to create this as addon if you like to, though.
Rebalancing the miner is one of the things that i was going to fix up next.
Please keep in mind it was designed BEFORE we developed the new exposion code (which is as well used by the laser) and still needs re-balance now.
There will be config options to disable/nerf/buff all energy generators at will.
Period.

The point is, there are enormous amounts of bugs in both vanilla and IC. Yet most are unknown and unheard of.
The issue with windmills most likely is not related to the actual windmill sound, but to the sound system (which is, given the fact it's new, highly flawed) messing something up, which becomes visible in combination with the windmill sound.
Similar to the (still existing) fatal TE-Replication bug of vanilly MC. You wouldn't ever notice it, unless you have furnace-blocks rapidly turning on/off (IC1 Watermills).
Luckyly IC²'s meta-blocks made that issue obsolete enough to be ignored again :§
I more and more think configurable Generator values would do the trick...
Still is quite fixable whatever the cause is. Just go to the code that plays the sound for the windmills and put a cap on how many times that code can be activated before the last sound effect playing stops. Limit it to like 5-10 windmills simultaneously. That's a 3 line of code fix.
1. It's definitely not a 3-line fix.
2. We're still trying to fix the actual cause of the problem, not it's effects.
Actually, if the Miner were coded to consider lava (and water) "valuable ores", wouldn't the pump basically pull up all of it within the range of the scanner?
Pulling up all the liquid in a 9x9 (or 5x5) area is still sufficient and should avoid the world-killing problem you mentioned.
Now, the miner will never consider water valuable, but given the fact you can create infinite water sources either way, yes, it works for lava-gathering
1. Afaik clay spawns in abdundant amounts on maps. I can consider adding a UUM recipe for it, though.
2. The problem is, color must be stored via ID since we can only store a single data value, f.e. damage, in the metaslot.
Thus we would need to implement 17 backpacks/buckets for that, which IS kinda a drag.
I could offer a hook to automatically "refill" a colored painter if you got the according dye in your inventory (and it runs dry), though.
I'm glad you like the idea. What do you think of the need for reinforced glass? It would make sense, considering that the panels need no maintenance once deployed.
There are some other nerfs incoming, we don't want to overdo it, do we?

Why do people seem to cling to the foolish notion that reducing solar output will solve anything? All it will do is lead to people using twice as many solars!
Simple construction fixes that would move the production (not the output) of solars into T2 levels, yet remain reasonable:
1) Carbon Plates instead of coal dust. The coal cost per solar is increased by a factor of 4, plus a little energy to compress them.
2) Reinforced Glass instead or regular glass: Essentially adds the cost of an alloy plate per solar (well, 6/7ths of it).
Not drastic changes, but ones that require a compressor, more materials, and a bit of extra energy to make.
I like the general idea. Solars got nerfed by reimplementing the old circuit recipe and i think adding carbon fiebers instead of carbon dust (not carbon plates though) would be a neat buff for the importance of coal, as well.
*rofl*
Steve + Solar Helmet looks epicly amusing :3
Like... kinda dunno, just funny
