Well, i was thinking that item stacks play a dual role - as themselves, and as a symbol of themselves.

Like, if there is a non-full stack (of iron ore, for example), and droid have some ore iron ore lying around, then it will add ore to this stack. if this stak is after "place block" element, then dorid will take things from this, to place down.

For example, picture above is a (slightly bugged) program for making railroad with electric tracks, that uses those commands (with sugar,paper, sticks etc as placeholders for logic elements):

Book stack: start of subroutine
Paper stack: call subroutine
Sugar stack: loop next command N times
Sign:
place block from next stack, if it's size is 2 or more. If it's size is one,
then find and use blocks of same type from other stack of size 2 or
more.
Boots: step forward
Sticks stack: vertical (1-5) and horizontal (6-13) turns, in steps of 45 degrees
Pickaxe: dig

All other stacks - if stack is not full, pick drops of same type until stack is full.

This sounds like something individuals could use to figure out how to have self learning droids in IC^2. I'm pretty sure this is programming Inception. Just look at the crazy things people have done in MC(*COUGH*IC+ anything redstone*COUGH*)

This sounds like an excellent idea, as this could completely replace the mine cart. For linkage the monorails could use a custom GUI from a 'Master Cart'(the one you originally placed) where there's a place to put carts. So that when you place the carts in that slot and exit it will add on additional 'Slave' carts. This would make the whole system much easier, no crazy complicated linkage shenanigans. The individual 'Slave carts' would be ride able but act as linked sections using maybe a fishing sting between them to show that they are(maybe a thicker string if that's possible, or different color at least). For power it should be possible for it to take a charge along with being powered, that or it could recharge from powered lines when not moving.

This whole idea listed above and a version that acts like the maglev trains.

Here's my try at an example GUI:

I think a good way to compensate for tree-glowstone spamming would be for the terraformer to only make one glowstone per tree, where the tree meets dirt/ bottom of tree.

Well since the nuclear reactors seem to function more Molten Salt Reactors they don't really need SMog. It seems that hey are actually using the radioactivity to generate the power. But if they are tweaked to be more like the nuclear steam system(current RL systems), then they could produce SMog as a by product. If it's possible there might be a 'Fog' system(ground lvl clouds?) allowing for the build up of SMog in a area, reflecting actual industry. This could lead to ventilation systesm for mines as when you use the tools they slowly generate SMog(carbon monoxide, as I'm assuming SMog is a general term for general air particulate pollution).

This sounds quite interesting. I too usu. just use a couple layers of stone(I'm experimenting with water as a between substance, as it cancels out normal explosions I think) until I can make a bunker/fortress using reinforced stone/glass. But I think what would be a great use of the new Nickel could be using it to make new, iron block resistance, blocks with different textures based on the formula used. I was think something towards metallic brick blocks, for starters. This would fit in with the greatly increased/expanded IC² systems. I also had an idea of having a unit of Advanced Alloy to replace refined iron to give much stronger blocks, possible having a reinforced stone colored edge to the block to differentiate them.

A few could be:
(T=tin, C=copper, N=nickel, I=refined iron)

T N T
N I T This would have squares of the respective metals if the configuration show
T N T

These are examples, and I made nickel orange for easier contrast, but it has a silvery hue with a slight golden tinge to it. So a silver w/hints of gold.
