Really ?
I thought they would last extremly long, like 30 hours per pellet but ... Why did they made another greengen spammable ?

It'd be funnier lasting a long, long time, but with the ability to generate like 1.5^(numbersof14C-pellets-1), which you coul get from Coal Ore in very tiny amounts or ... using Coal Moderators

On RL they would last for over a century, much like "forever" in MC.

Well, it would be a kind of greengen, but for the non-renewable nuclear "forever lasting fuel".

C14 doesnt generate enough heat for that sake.
It has to be plutonium238 : (I just think that IC² RTG pellet sprite is based on the picture below, although it is a wrong concept, as the picture below shows uncased plutonium)

or Strontium 90 and Americium 241. Those last two are obtained as reactor byproducts.
Americium could last for over a millenium (although it has a considerably lower output if compared to Pu or Sr).

proper rewriting : use of code, but without that "rawdev" thingy i've seen, just that, maybe.
or different syntax of config.

@IC² Devs/Above : What about adding to IC² itself, (with proper rewriting) so people can manually add their recipes for whatever thing they want?

Quote from Epic Lulz

The RITEG emits 16 EU/t I think, while a single U-cell emits 4 or 5 EU/t I think.

It emits 2^(amount of pellets -1) EU/t

to emit 16 Eu/t it needs 5 pellets.

Quote from Barth

What would be the purpose of this generator if we have a nuclear reactor since it need depleted cell to create plutonium to be able to craft the pellets..

wouldnt be wiser to be able to fuel that gen with uranium cell or something similar then having to create a Reactor ? or is that gen more powerfull then a simple reactor ?

Those are meant to be long-lasting (forever) low-power nuclear generators.

You can decide to use plutonium either as MOX catalyst (for even more power) or as a RTG fuel.

If you consider the nature of the nether star, it is pure (magical) energy, as it powers a (magical) beacon that gives you good effects from nowhere.
Energy is easy to obtain because of automation mods.

Wind and Solar are hard to be spammed, in great quantities, given you are playing with GregTech.

if compared to the cost, not.
And also no for your watermill question.

Quote from hoho

Didn't gravity/portal gun also use them?

That too, but they are also found on dungeons, making the point of using nether stars useless. [Portal guns]
For gravity guns, you can overcharge the normal gravity guns with lightning, using any lightning source (gregtech rods for example)

Make terraformers change the biome to whatever they are doing, except the flatificator.

Flatificator - No biome change
Mushroom - As it already does, mushroom biome
Desertification - Desert
Irrigation - Ocean
Cultivation - Forest
Chilling - Taiga

Nether star is only used for a few recipes, like the beacon and gregtech magic machines, so i dont think they should be thaaaaat expensive.
No other TECH mod rather than IC addons uses them afaik.

Values suggestions :
250 UUM buckets
500M EU

The main thingy will be the time, about 3 hours to give the replicator enough EU.

Simply as title, add nether star as liquid UUM possible replication, costing insane amounts like 300+ buckets of UUM.

As all replicable stuff, you need one to scan, so this will be a very costly operation

You could try compact solars (gregtech version is a good one), compact windmills and compact watermills...

you know that the function is always available ? hold ejector upgrade in you hand and Shift + left klick a block face

No i didn't, because i suggested it. Nor it is documented anywhere, not even on changelogs, i think.

Thats not much, i generate 1024 EU/t from windmills on stone legion server.

Quote from alexdelphi

I use these energy sources:
1) small coal boilers
2) manually farmed leaves -> Forestry ethanol -> Forestry bio gen
3) solars (I use GT solar panels)
Also, this can be occasionally supplemented with thermal/semifluid gens.
Are these methods OP?

definetely not.
As long you don't have any method to cheaply generate fuel, like soulshards or steve carts farms or MFR (minefactory reloaded)
although the last one is not that cheap anymore.

Quote from hoho

IC2 now has an upgrade that works similarly to GT item valves. Add that to machine and it'll spit its products out to specified side. I dare anyone to come up with a good reason why it shouldn't have support for that

Not as good as gregtech conveyor modules, because those can be put on any side and wont input things in the first inventory it finds like the ejector.

Quote from RawCode

hopper!

It only works on bottom, bad for automation.

Another suggestion : make ejector upgrade programmable, so it will try to eject items on "any side, top/bottom, sides, only an specific side" [press mode key while holding it]

Well, they are badly documented to talk much about it, not to mention they are being reworked on the experimental versions.

Go for wind if you want a different power source.

Quote from malcanteth

We're playing on the same server and it works fine for me. Greg's chainsaw does not work for shearing sheep and its intended.

I just realized i derped and posted this on ASP thread instead of gregs

Why does the chainsaw does not work as shears for some blocks (thorns, tiny cactus and cobweb), including unability to shear sheep, is it intended?

You don't.
IC² now has Liquid UUM.

Advanced Solar Panels has to adjust its recipes.
