I already know that ModLoader has been proven to work on the prereleases. So, I think it won't be long for MLMP & Forge.

Quote from F4113nb34st

btw everyone what to expect in the next update is: AdvPumps, Insane Voltage ( >2048 eu) Cables, PESU (plasma energy storage unit), and super conductors

I am also taking ideas for how to slightly nerf superconductors

*facepalm* Really taking things to the next level, ain't ya?

Anyhow, by definition, superconductors have negligible to none energy loss, so you can't put a nerf there, but perhaps it will require the Rare Earth Dust/Magnets to be produce (Read: Align the particles in the material so that the electricity is immediately passed on without wearing away the value (My magnet physics are rusty right now.))

Okay, I think I might figured it out, AdditionalPipes has some sort of wicked bug that creates this error when placed in the mods folder. I only know cause I've been through it before.

Quote from herobrine believer

*light bulb* Advanced solar helmet crafted with a to produce 5 EU while your under the sun. nuclear chest plate! crafted with allows a miniature nuclear reactor in your chest plate to produce power!
geothermal leggings! crafted with basically a version of the geothermal generator thats portable but produces 3 less EU per tick. water mill boots! crafted with produces 6 EU every second your in water... just a few ides.

@Geo-Leggings - I don't think Steve would appreciate that heat around the ol' potatoes.
And, thank you. You just reminded me of an add-on I was meaning to work on. *runs off to grab MCP*

Quote from FnordMan

C#, C is an entirely different beast.
Mono will also deal with VB.net

Alright, thanks for correction.

Why do you have two instances of the adv generators add-on? I'm thinking this may be the source.

If you can't see the two zips in the mods folder, then you might have installed one to the jar and the other to the mods folder.

Quote from HeadHunter67

Regardless, it still takes 1.75M EU (even with scrap) to generate the iridium for one panel, regardless of its source. And that panel will have to run for three daylight hours to recoup that investment. No matter where the power comes from, you're still in the red until then - and if you don't think an outlay of 1.75M EU to craft a power generator is an absurd expense, I don't know what to tell you.

I was pleased to see that someone had updated the mod - and let down by the ridiculous expense that makes the whole thing pointless.

Agreed. Really, the Iridium is overdone (I know we need uses for it, but I think it should be used in a T3 solar panel). Keep Adv. Alloy for this and another tier would use the Iridium.

Assuming everyone is in favour of a T3 generator.

Where do i go on minecraft forums to look for this?

Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?paclabt8dt52433

Copied from the Equivalent Exchange thread, just run the file.

--sigh-- I have to ask, how well would this react under Wine and Linux? I only use Windows for work, Linux for everything else.

I think, if it was developed in C (at least I think that's the language needed), I might be able to run it via Mono.

I tried to get the error massage but it goes black screen before i can see the error massage.
Is there another to see the error massage?

Take a look at the ModLoader.txt in the .minecraft folder, or find an error report script over on the Minecraft Forums.

Quote from cpw

Update for everyone. Thanks very much for the ideas. This is a little side project for me, I will be hanging around, but I do have a day job (for which I write Java code, busman's holiday anyone ) so I won't be turning around addons at speed.

I think I will be creating a new addon, because I really don't want to steal zipp's work. However, it will contain "tier 2" and "tier 3" machines. Partly I'll do this because all I have of Zipp's code is decompiled, so it's not the prettiest stuff. I have a couple of ways I want to make things better so it's probably easier to start from scratch, metaphorically.

Give me a week or so.

By the way, looking for names, I noticed that what we've called Macerators in IC2 are probably more properly called crushers or mills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_mill). Macerators are actually things that chew, like your mouth

So here's what I think:
We have tier 1:
Elec furnace; Macerator; Compressor; Extractor; Recycler
Tier 2 is going to be (my additions in red):
Ind. furnace; ball mill (upgraded macerator); power compressor (upgraded compressor); hydraulic extractor; dust recycler
Tier 3 will be:
Blast furnace; rotary ball mill; power compactor (t3 compressor); vacuum extractor; magnetic recycler

Tier 2 items will be slightly less powerful than the Adv Machine versions (except furnace of course); they will spin up and for extractor; compressor and ball mill will generate small amounts of "dust" randomly as a side effect for feeding into the dust recycler (for more predictable scrap). (Expect 1 dust from a stack of ore or something similar, not meant to really replace anything current, just a little "benefit").

Tier 3 will be able to process many items simultaneously (blast furnace up to say, six; similar for the others) as well as more reliable "dust" generation for the recycler. The recycler "magnetically" separates the dust so there's a small chance for "small pile of iron dust" from dust gathering, is my thought (as well as usual scrap).

Dust mechanisms will be as outlined above: adv recyclers "collect" accumulated dust from machines nearby for processing, but only when powered. T2 machines will not be as good for range or maximal accumulation as T3, obviously. An interesting side effect of this mechanism is the idea of "clogging". If a machine becomes "full" of dust, it no longer works very well. Probably a real problem for efficient T3 set ups

Tier 3 spinup will be slow, and you won't be able to turn them off and on on demand though- once you turn them off they remain "hot" for some period (maybe an MC day) and can't be reactivated without exploding. Also, they process nothing until they hit power, and will probably draw 5-10 eu/t to remain idle.

What do you think?

Amazing. If you would like, and you have a sort of "bleeding edge" add-on, you can send it over to me to test and potentially create demo vids for. I'm not afraid to do some minecraft-breaking.

On a related note, I support these idea wholeheartedly, I like the Adv. Machines add-on but I always felt like there could be more done (no offense to the author). If you want to accept my offer, just drop me a PM.

So doing a demo vid on this add-on. It would be brilliant!

Quote from anorend

i believe he was talking about the real minecraft release that takes place tomarrow at minecon also alblaka said that the next release of IC2 would be for 1.8 so im guessing it will be soonish

My guess (according to the impression I got from Al's blog post): probably within the next rough week or three.

Al, if you're reading this, I'm just guessing. Can't wait for the next release.

Quote from Ezabs

Steel is half as effective as lead in absorbing radiation. Use that. Or use Chacoal impregnated felt like current Hazmat suits.

A HEV suit in IC should protect you from electric discharge (Wires and teslas), fire and lava, drowning(it has breathing equipment anyway), radiation and pollution related hazards like acid rain and unmitigated sunlight.

Doesn't have to contain lead tho, tracks are made of steel but don't rust and dirt ignores gravity's pleas for order...I think we can get away with this

I concur. A HEV suit would be a welcome addition, but I suppose the QSuit (with some tweaks, could do this), but I would REALLY appreciate this as an add on until then (if Al agrees, though)

Quote from Sirmunchyman

I did everything it said to do for installation, including deleting my entire .minecraft folder. Started with completely clean .minecraft folder, installed modloader, modloadermp, and mcforge in that order, dragged and dropped the industrialcraft-2-client_1.23 jar file into mods. i also downloaded the ic2 api and dropped that into .minecraft. This is what I got from Mcpatcher:

Wait, do what?

Navigate to where Minecraft stores it's files:
On Windows: C:\Users\-Yourname-\AppData\.minecraft
*AppData folder is hidden*

There ought to be a text file called ModLoader.txt, copy the contents of that.

Quote from darenton2k7

ic1 doesnt need forge dumbass
does need modloader 1.7.3 and modloadermp 1.7.3

I thought the OP posted this is the wrong forum, and I thought he was using IC2. >__>

Actually, if install the mod after you've created a world, you would not find the new ore for a while, depending on how many chunks were generated before installing.

By default, MC generates about 200 chunks at the time of spawn (can someone confirm that?), if you did not move one move, THEN installed the mod, you's have to travel out about 14 chunks (roughly) for the world to start generating the new ore.

Try reinstalling Modloader, ModLoaderMp and Forge in that order, there is a hook missing that should be provided via Forge, but isn't.

Quote from racounous

Hi, im new in the forums, i dont know if someone as already posted a patch for this but i havent found anything(for this version)
im using buildcraft 1.15 and latest version of adv. machines (and tmi) and when i make or give myself a sing. compressor (id 199-2), it is unnamed while it is in my inventory but works perfectly.
please respond quickly, thanks.

This is a known bug in the 1.15 version, Zip forgot to put the name into the files.
