Not really. I want to build a geothermal farm in the nether without bc, so I thought about RP rubes + buckets filled by IC Pumps.
So is it a bug or not wanted?
Not sure on redpower tubes, but you could use buildcraft pipes and pump the lava directly into the goes.
so I would do it like : §1 My world
Yep just tried that. That's amazing, thanks for sharing!
Snow slides off of some of them IF its a solar panel designed for heating and not for electricity(though im not saying it doesnt but there would be the lack of heat there to allow the snow to slide. None the less though Solar panels irl still requires maintenance, more so than you think. Most companies suggest that you remove any debris and dirt and ensure all connections are tight on a monthly basis. Theres plenty of more things that are required to do.
Last thing is most solar panels are rated to last 30(ish) years but if you dont do daily/monthly maintence you can expect them to break within the first few months.
Nope. Solars designed to generate electricity. The guy powers his whole house with an array equivalent to about 12 solars in minecraft. He charges batteries with them, so he can have electricity at night. Of course you have to check on them once in a while, but they are pretty passive. Very rarely does he have to do anything, and that's like, a couple times a year.
And solars lasting 30 years? That's the equivalent of 3650 hours of minecraft time. that's 152 days of straight minecraft playing, no breaks. I'm pretty sure your computer would break before the solars in minecraft would 
The reason wind mills break is they produce a massive amount of power, compared to solar. Solar are not nearly as powerful, and should be passive. Do solars break in real life? (Don't give me the "This is minecraft" argument, the generators are based off of real life.) I've seen solars irl, they require little to know maintenance, even the snow slides right off them.
So when will we see the hammer and the lock fly in here?
I believe we have kept this topic pretty civilized, at least imo. Just waiting for some support from the original author.
i should take an mining laser, set it to explosive. AND BLOW YOUR HEAD OF!
thats the best way to explain how i feel about this suggestion
Lol, these types of comments will get you banned. And it's not a bad suggestion, it just needs support from the author.
he was being sarcastic, lol... i think :p
Of course I knew that, I was just building upon the fact that, although they may be better in terms of power production, it still is balanced with size, cost, and accountability.
Just stating my facts and expressing my opinion. Um... I believe it's called Freedom of Speech.
LOL, we aren't getting anywhere. Stating your facts? The only facts you've given are on that nuclear produces power. Can you please describe to us why nuclear is overpowered, instead of shouting it over and over. I'm not trying to be mean, but you do need to support your suggestions with at least some kind of evidence. Personally, in a legit world, reactors are not over powered, as for me, they take a long time to set up, do require maintenance (reloading cells and making sure it doesn't overheat) and take up quite a lot of space, especially if you have a whole room dedicated to controlling the reactor (like me) .
You mentioned EE. This is still horrible imbalanced with IC2. I know. I've used it. Almost made me delete the world it felt so hacky. but I deleted EE instead. So the resource cost is higher there if you dont use EE. As well, the components are not stackable, causing a headache when trying to make reactors (thank Alblaka for PC!) I guess my final point is : Why is it overpowered?
OH NOES THE ENDGAME POWER GENERATOR IS BETTER THAN A NORMAL GENERATOR NERF IT DEVS!!!
And its more powerful for a good reason. What if we only had the normal generator? That would suck. See above this on balancing with other forms of power.
Reactors are by no means cheap, and a mistake with one comes with a cost greater than the investment you initially used... I highly doubt there is anything OP about them (except for CASUC's, ofc, lol)
And how many on these forums even attempt a CASUC, let alone can build a stable one? Not many. It's an incredible resource hog, as well as quite a bit of mental power must be dumped into it.

Very nice metahore and article, thanks for sharing. I've already purchased a Radeon 6850 (which was DOA when I got the rest of my parts, should get my replacement today 
) Once I try out this card, I'm probably not going to be upgrading for quite a while.
Yeah, may not be true, have you seen the other videos? There are quite a few, may change your mind. They do have a radio or something playing instruments like the bass and drums for songs like sweet home Alabama.
Wow. If you want the best, that's the way to go. $500 for a video card? 
not in my budget. I'm sure whoever can afford such a beast will be very happy, though!
@ ff255away
Wow. Quite the lign up. I feel very excited with that paragraph. Sounded almost motivational.
I've actually always wanted to do this, but wasn't possible till detector cables came. Now, I've just haven't used outdoor lighting, except for torches.
don't force your masochistic ways on all of us if you want things harder for yourself then grab your self a normal generator, a detector cable, some redstone, a stack of tnt, and your imagination.
I like this.
And op, you still have yet to prove that reactors are overpowered, and have yet to give solutions to the problem, besides "sitting and pushing buttons" or something to that effect.
Let's just say the Devs want to make nuclear harder. How would they o about it? You see, if you give an idea, please be ready to back up your suggestion with valid points, such as practical ways of having to monitor your reactor, why the reactor is overpowered, and suggesting new ways of balancing the current system. I personally believe reactors are pretty balanced, as they do take up quite a large amount of space, depending on your cooling and control area, as well as have a relatively balanced power output (I wouldn't say low output, as they were recently buffed.) Just keep in mind that you are coming up with the ideas, you want the devs to do as little speculating as possible, and leave them to make the final decisions on a wide variety of suggestions. Just my opinion
Just to make this clear, this is not an intended behavior. It is due to minecraft's limitations, which includes how the game is saved. Just wanted to make that clear so no new "Let storage blocks charge with no one around" Suggestions pop up.
Nope that's pretty much it
Hmm.. can't say I can agree with the validation of the ban, However, it is not my call.
acording to the IC2 Wiki, the best superfuel recipe will give 120,000EUs, i have yet to discover this, have you happened to find it?
Old Ic1 information still in the wiki?
I like it. Course, you could almost set one up now using a solar panel and a detector cable, but that would only tell day from night.
