My god man

Very interesting. Seems odd the choice of mods, however.

Yup its down

EDIT: Also since when was there 20 tps on K1? I mean holy shit.

Is it down?

Yes this has proper grammar.

Ooh how about it be higher res too?

Hey, cool it down with the "chicken rape" thing I turned it off for a couple of days so I could get more eggs to build to more

It still rapes them

Orrrrrr how about we wait till IC3 then a new FORUM ?

Something clean and fresh, just like IC2 EXP. Something simple.

While doing some IC2 texturing, I noticed just how archaic the rubberwood logs are. They are still of the time before rotatable logs.

This got me thinking. Why not overhaul the tree itself? Why not make it more realistic and automatable? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_rubber)

My suggestion is first off to rethink the tree texture. Rubber comes out white like so:

I made a texture without thinking much about it (this is what sparked my interest, as well as non-rotatable logs):

This looks sort of like whiteish sap (could be whiter) dripping from the tree- unrealistic- but good for spotting places to tap.

Here is where my idea comes in (I think another mod does something similar, now that I think about it):
Have the tree tap be a placeable item, rendered in 3D, on the tree. Over time (a loooonnnnng time) it drips sap out. You must hang a bucket on the tree right below the tap (also rendered in 3D) to collect the sap (also called latex). The bucket can be removed and processed (see the link above for more).

What you can do late-game, is to automate rubber production, have some type of advanced piping system (maybe plastics?) that can bring rubber straight from the trees.

The only downside to this, besides time, is the fact that the trees slowly die. The leaves slowly turn brown over time, until they fall off, then the sap stops flowing. This would mean that the player would have to replant the trees every so often and it would be less plug in and play.

If you wish for me to clarify, as I am doing this on my phone, please ask and when I get to my PC I will edit this post.

Part one of the overhaul of my base

Player, I talked to ProfMobius, and EVOC is in the works for 1.7.10, but he was very interested in what you had going, maybe you could chat with him.

Fail me for reading and posting while distracted praising Helix.

XD its ok

Quote from PaladinOne

J Calkins isn't me. That's the guy who was working on this before me. I didn't post my comment because I knew it would get lost under an unknown name.

Haha he is me.

I have been wanting this too. It is great for base digging, and can be OP for mining unless it, say drops less than the usual amount of resources... maybe has a 5% block destroy chance?
Again, post this on the suggestion thread.

Look forward to seeing how this comes along. You mention PFAA ore gen in OP, but I play with normal GT oregen. I hope you elaborate on both.

Thanks, I do to
And I plan on covering both, focusing on pure GT oregen, but providing info if you have PFAA installed.

Quote from PaladinOne

Having contributed 2 paragraphs, I tried to add a comment and immediately encountered just how utterly infuriating Google's linked account system is. Because if you at any point create an account that has your real name on it, and link any other account to that account, there is no way to un-link the accounts and there is no way to make your real name NOT display on everything you post.
Having my real name thrown around the internet isn't all that much of a problem. The real problem is that there is no similarity at all between my real name and the name that I use for all online interactions, so if I post something as Paladin One, and if I post something else as my real name, there is no way of knowing that those are the same person.

The really infuriating part is that there's no way to un-link linked accounts, and that it's damn near impossible to delete and re-create an account; once an account is created that username stays tied to it even if the account is "deleted".
[/angryrant]

Thank you very much! Also, your steam calculations could come in handy.
And as for real name, I just gave up. It shows up as J Calkins in drive, and I don't really care anymore. The system is frustrating, but it is the best we have so I think we may just have to suck it up sadly
