This belongs into the RP realm, in my eyes.

If Eloraam ever reads IC2 forums, let's hope it will be there someday.

Wouldn't it be better if recycler pick items up from chest?
If you put one near, ofc.

Quote

Because after all, the Recycler main purpose is of getting rid of stuff that you don't need anymore and its only consuming space and as a side product if you are lucky it will give you some scrap back.

If its main purpose is getting rid of useless stuff, it still has other purposes, and you can't just throw them away.
Because, sometimes, the only source of slime for you are scrap boxes, sometimes you use it for extra energy, most of the time for UMM anyways, but still.

The wood and the wooden plant should have some pink/red color the leaves should be pink.

That makes it more into a decorative suggestion, rather a suggestion with actual use, and thats the only good about the suggestion.

Quote

I think we cannot crossbreed trees.

Yes, we can't, but hey, we can make the cross-breeded plant drop a sapling.
But thats probably a bad idea...Natural spawning trees would be better, sort of.

I was wondering why all the Machinerecipes (Snowball -> Ice, Coalchunk -> Diamond...) have the same amount of Processingtime. I mean shouldnt it take longer for a Coalchunk to be compressed to Diamond, than for MixedMetalIngot to Advanced Alloy?

Just a thought about variable Duration for diffrent Processes.

And is it ever possible to change processing time depending on the item?

But you could also detect EU-Flow to the Miner making that Method expensive and obsolete.

Why, no.
It won't need any additional wiring against the method with regulator.

Aether Dirt - no real use in my book other than making bridges
Holystone - Could be macerated in a aether edition macerator to Quicksoil (x1)
Ambrosium Ore - macerates into Ambrosium Dust (x1)
Zanite Ore - macerates into Zanite Dust (x2)
Gravitite Ore - macerates into Gravitite Dust (x1)

That could be added into mod itself, as silver dust was added.
Sort of support.

But i don't think there is any need for new "aether" machines. Normal ones can do their job.

oh and raw code said he would like an electric enchanter as well. and i dont even want tool enchants, i understand they are broken

Actually, if they are broken it doesn't mean that the only way to fix it is to remove ability to enchant IC2 tools.

Not that you couldn't make a gun which shoots anything that looks like a stick (Dynamites, torches or even sticks for small damage + knockback)

Hey, why not a sort of pneumatic gun, similar to "Fat Man" (or how that thingy named correctly?) from fallout, launching everything we can throw to much longer distances?

Quote

Wasn't added previously because we didn't found the correct calls to make TE-based lighting levels possible.

That means that colored reactor glow is now possible to make.
But will it be implemented?

Quote

Ok. But I didn't say TWO lines, I said a few. But never mind.

Just mentioned that Albalaka already expressed his opinion about colored lights.
And as i remember he said thats its will be very hard to code, or something similar.

Quote

Trust me, its just two Lines. Lighton and Lightoff, and that inside the Nuclearreactortickfunction, which already switches the Color of the Reactortexture.

If about normal light-you probably right.
But not about colored, i suppose

Quote

Next step up is a blue glow when Mojang AB implement coloured lighting.

They probably won't.

Quote

Excuse me if I'm wrong since I am a Java noob, but it should hopefully change only a few lines of code for lighting, and should HOPEFULLY not blow a reactor up with the update. What do you think?

If my memory doesn't fail me, its not "two lines" of code at all, or at least as Albalaka said about it. The reason why it was, sort of, denied.

Quote

Actually i'm building the Extractor first and power it with Redstone.

Doesn't that mean that if you had a chance to re-place that redstone to, single use battery, for example, exchanging it for something else, you wouldn't?

Quote

I have Generators normally right after crafting a Furnace (thats after the first Miningrun)

Me too, but if i had a chance i would skip that part directly to the macerator.
I think you would too.

Quote

No resources to craft Generators??? But you have resources to build EU-Consuming Machines?

If i had a chance not to craft generator and live a few nights buying EU, i would.
It would save my time and some of the resources.

Quote

This is a 3x3 Chunkloader, which costs EU (configurable, but i would say 32 EU/t by default) and can, if unwanted, be disabled via config.

4 repeaters sharing a pulse through <=2 chunks?

Quote

Actually 9 or 10 Solaranels are enough for a whole Workshop, so why should i buy that tiny amount of Energy?

Quote

Energy?

The problem is, you want to buy ENERGY, and, as far as i know, UMM doesn't give you any EU.
And if you want to buy energy, that means that you don't have resources\lazy to craft generators.
Thats the case.

Quote

A Question: Why do you need to sell Energy in Energyform? The only point of having large amounts of Energy is producing UUM, and UUM is a perfect Currency.

It isn't, as why would you need UMM if you just want to power your macerator or something?
In that case you need ENERGY, not materials.
That makes trade invalid.

Quote

Why not just 3 Colors for the Toner? You can make every Color out of Cyan, Yellow and Magenta. At least my crappy printer can do that.

I don't think it will hurt much to find more dyes for painters.

Quote

Its not possible to make that, due to the Tact, that a simple Torch/Door/Redstonedust can prevent it from being placed.

Quote

imple Torch/Door/Redstonedust can prevent it from being placed.

And whats the problem in that?
Place it around it, huh?

Quote

I cant think of a really Lagfree way to implement Radiation. The Lagfreeest Idea i have is permanently (every 2 secs) checking all Mobs/Players around a Reactor and then, depending on if the Distance to it is shorter, than lets say 50 Meters, make one Explosionray-like Radiationray and shoot it into the Direction of the Mob/Player. Then the Ray checks the Radiationresistence of the Blocks (Like Explosionresistance) and decreases the Radiationdamage against the Player.

That would eat a lot of FPS if you get close to reactor, no?
Drawing all those beams and stuff?

Quote

However, if somebody can supply me with an idea how to implement lag-free radiation and a way to counter it (excluding it), you're free to ask again.

Isn't the easiest way is using sort of transparent greenish blocks, that put a very long debuff on you?
Isn't it sort of...Obvious?
It would take only 1 block id.
