Here's a relatively cheap hybrid thorium plutonium 4 chamber 220EU/t Eff 4 Mark I reactor (3 double thorium cells and 4 plutonium cells twice). I wanted to reduce the non-renewable copper while getting more EU/t. Checked with GregTech computer cube to be stable.

Here's a quick change to SSD's really cheap breeder to double output and make it be automatic (via BC/RP) (per cycle).

And finally a simple way to make your reactor/breeder automatic* (for 1 cycle). The manager to the left has nothing set and the chest it controls has only enough materials (plutonium cells or depleted isotope cell) to complete one cycle. The emerald pipe to the right extracts (can be re-enriched cells or near-depleted ones) with an autoarchic gate set to "items in inventory = pulser".

Here's my 112 EU/t 4x quad thorium cell Mark I reactor (tested in-game with Computercube). It does require 8 Iridium Neutron Reflectors, hence is a later game design.

I don't know how well it would work server wide, but you could find GregTech items, write them down, destroy them, then spawn them back in when the world updates.

Unfortunately the server I play on the server admin is a "legit-nazi". He'd rather we/he lose the resources that spawn them (inb4 you ask: I play on there because of the community and stability of the server.)

I'm having a 1.4.2 upgrade test server got these reports:

- id conflicts:

- 21272 was ruby is now GregTech Sensorcard

- 21273 was sapphire is now GregTech Sensorkit

- 21274 was gregtech silver is now missing

- 21281 was aluminium dust is now missing

- 21256 was H-Cell is now Copper Credit

- possibly others

I assume Greg these are the ones you said that would end up breaking right and nothing I can do but just to leave it? Dusts/cells?

I'm on a server that'll soon be moving from 1.3.2 to 1.4.2. Is there something that I could do to not lose all those ores/dusts/etc (stacks of silver, over a stack of rubies, etc.)? Possibly convert them to something?

Eh, Okay will see how it goes. I will warn my users of possible removal for 1.4. I also want to stated I'm not a fan of Redpower and the lack of communication. The best this for this community is for RP2 to die so newer mods will spring up overtime and replace some of it hopefully. I don't like someone who is very unstable. Some of the stuff you suggested changing in her mod has had her on IRC flipping out threatening to sue, stop running Rp2 and etc. This is why she does not go on IRC with her old nick nor she even talks to her players because she has trouble keeping her mouth shut when she can't own and control everything the way she wants.

Just saying I like some of the stuff off her mod but I don't really don't care that much I do it for my players and RP2 has actually been on of the biggest weaknesses on my past servers with bugs, dupe bugs that have yet been fixed, and of course how bad logic was running on server performance the last update mainly causing some massive packet crap that was causing some really fracked up shuddering in SMP.

This is my personal opinion though and you will find a lot of my Players also agree after seeing the light

I will also second the client stutter that too many RP2 sub-blocks or lights can cause. It's quite annoying to stall quite a lot while entering chunks (where the lights/sub-blocks are).

I do like RP2's logic, timer and machines.

I'm experiencing a buffer overlow also and it seems to be related to the camouflage add-on.

He might have an API but it might be more that he needs to do that on his end like he might use a block name or something IDK but yeah I would assume that might be the case. His mod is badass though and we use it a lot so it would be cool for sure.....

OMFG IDEA OF THE DAY! Reject this so I can just cut you up....

Radar... I'm tired of being unable to tell when I'm near or if other players are coming near my base. I'm also tired these mods with like 250 or 500 block distant radar. I should be able to setup an impressive radar that can maybe be upgraded for range and etc sort like the MFFS system...

OMFG imagine being able to hook up say a Nuclear Control Alarm to your system when someone comes 2500 blocks away from your base and such.... But don't focus it on related to chunks and loading and such just only pay attention to players coords or whatever it is player on move and don't grab it every second maybe every couple so it does not cause to much lag...

My idea prob be shoot fast but hey on an open server where players can go as far or close its nice to have a warning but also keep an eye of a region of land! This with combo of MFFS and Nuclear Controll would be a wet dream come true!

Hell if you were up for it you could even make it so the player has to setup relays every say 500 blocks or 250 blocks to boost the single but you would have to rely on storing the information else where since you would not want to load all these chunks to keep it going but rather letting a main computer know at the base all this information and print it out like on a grid or something...

Crazy ideas IDK I love my crazy ideas

A radar would be quite cool. As a secondary feature it could (with the proper upgrade) show major explosions (TNT, nuclear, etc) and possibly even show the location of high tier tech (fusion reactor, rocket platform, etc.

I second this. I play on a large IC server as well and some of the bugs that don't have a public fix for months are quite annoying especially ones as major as jetpack fall damage/death, a nano saber being able to vaporize nano armour in one hit, IC crops not being able to be crouch-walked on (we can't harvest major cross-breeds without removing the outside plants anymore).

I do hope that you'll consider providing patches sooner and allow for more testing before release.

Thanks for making this great mod.

It's harder to track down, because I have no mac. Addon works fine for my friend under MacOS
Looks like user have not enough permission to the resources/newsound/ic2nuclearControl folder. I don't even know how it's possible.
Can someone with this problem do the following checklist?
1. Is resources/newsound/ic2nuclearControl folder exists?
2. If 1 no, Does user, under which MC client is executed have rwx permission to the resources/newsound folder
3. If 1 yes, does user, under which MC client is executed have rwx permission to the resources/newsound/ic2nuclearControl folder?
4. If 3 no - add permissions. Does it help?
5. If 3 yes - does it has r permission to each file in the folder

1. no
2. newsound folder doesn't exist and it seems that Minecraft won't redownload/recreate a blank one (using a modded jar which possibly loads nuclearControl before the vanilla resources folder download
3. n/a
4. If the "newsound" folder is re-created under the resources folder (so nuclearControl can place it's folder into it), then the client doesn't crash

I've tried it on both my MacBook (HD 3000 graphics) and MacMini (GeForce 9400 graphics) and had the same issue due to Mac's default of overwriting folder contents when you copy the folder with the same name (all of the users in Kane's post including myself were using the same private modpack).

It seems that the bug reports (java.lang.NullPointerException) from Kane's post and, mine and another user on our forums (with an ATI X1600 dedicated video card) are all being caused when the newsounds folder is missing from the resources folder when nuclearControl tries to place it's folder into it.

Will consider adding the mass fabricator scrap option. I already added an option for preventing it from burning in a generator, causing extreme server lag due to cobblegen pipelines.

Thanks for thinking about it. The more fine tuning we can do on servers, the more stable they could potentially become especially when some players choose to transport massive amounts of items or have dozens of machines/factories running at once.

Quote from Kane Hart

So my suggestion btw would make a wonderful plugin even if anyone is up to it till such a thing does ever get decided and added would be the following:
Miner MKII is pretty much just like the MK1 but accepts Lapertron Crystal.
...
PS: If your willing make a mod/plugin out of this please don't forget smp <3

I second this idea. It's quite annoying having to take my mobile power setup, lay the cable, charge it just to run a few miners and then spend time packing it back up.
