Plutonium is already considered by IC² (and in RL) a RTG fuel, but there is two more elements which should be added as RTG fuel.
I don't know if RTG fuel is going to deplete over time on IC², but if it is going to, it should be somewhat close to real life half-life times.
Plutonium 238 has a half-life of 87.7 years (MC time converted is roughly 444 days)

Americium 241, small amounts are found on nuclear waste (depleted fuel cell + centrifuge outputs tiny piece of americium 241).
Its generation power is about 1/4 of plutonium.
Americium 241 has a half-life of 432.6 years (MC time converted is roughly 2194 days)

Strontium 90, similar as americium, is found on nuclear waste (depleted fuel cell + centrifuge outputs piece of strontium 90)
Its generation power is similar to plutonium.
Strontium 90 has a half-life of 28.8 years (MC time converted is roughly 146 days)

Fancy thing is that RTG fuels lasts so long that it wouldn't be worth coding a duration time.

Cool thing that i suggested that (remote GUI access) to greg before and he said it wouldn't be doable (limited to something i forgot).

About sprites, just poke SirusKing .

Please note that GT tesseracts do consume 4x more EU/t if the terminal is on a different dimension than the generator.

It is a completely different System, which Player makes from Scratch. He would need to add additional Code to let the Covers work.

Make him do so then, then covers will be an awesome addition to all IC² machines.

I was just thinking, is there a way of utilizing the server for the forum to blacklist certain IP addresses? That could help because a good portion of spam activity is centered on a small number of addresses.

An update : I'm now able to ban spambots (and, therefore, users).

That is as exploitive as making permanent day for solar panels using beds or mystcraft ages.
Rain is also harder to make.

If you use my second idea (aka making watermill river biome dependant) it would work good.
Rain and thunderstorms could cause bonus generation as it does increase a river's current.

However like past said it's nearly impossible to put in real hydro electricity generation mechanics in MC. (or at least for now)

While you can't do real hydroelectric powerplants, you can do something that is close to it, making the watermills dependant on the thing the real powerplant is : Rain

Tanks could be created to store rainwater (and those of course fills up when it is raining) and that water could be "pumped" into the watermill.
My idea is to make a watermill be a part of the tank and activating it decreases the water tank storage, while generating energy depending on how full is the tank.
The tank is completely man-made and its detection code would be something similar to XyCraft tanks that could be made of almost anything (but improved for performance).
In this case the tanks would be made of cobblestone/stone or even dirt. The tank detection code is manually activated on the main watermill block.
Adding various watermills to a single tank will increase the energy generated, while "consuming" more water.

Another idea is to make the watermills only possible on "river" biomes and exclusively on them, thus generating energy based on the amount of water around that is on the river biome.

I'm fine for now, the forum is not that popular. If i do, i will PM imer about "recruiting" new moderators.

i'm asking about the train locomotives.

Or else.. BOOM.
Though I don't know how to explode something yet

Water power RL doesnt pump water, it takes high pressure water from dams (water from river [which eventually came from rain]) and makes it flow through turbines, simple as that.
When the dam level gets low (aka river can't supply the dam because of dry seasons) , the pressure decreases, thus decreasing energy generation, causing a shortage.

I can get infinite mB/t in a block if i want, really.
TE tesseract (or even GT) + several other tesseracts (or GT terminals) = infinite water input.

SpwnX, remember the time I said something about a broken Hard Drive? I guess you forgot that too.

I already said Player is also working on his own MetaTileEntity System...

Doh. :3 - Strange that i really don't remember you telling me that. [Like i did when we talked about the windmill rework inspired on RL windmills, with blades and such]
My memory is not a broken hard drive, but a leaking one.

The question still remains (if you answered it before, i forgot), will it be compatible with your metatileentity system and therefore will accept your covers?

Wrong greg, You get stone dust from Washing ores, not in the thermal centrafuge.

this, according to exp 82.
Also, i couldnt get the thermal centrifuge to work (the progress bar increases but does nothing when it finishes).

Let me think...

Antimatter Furnace
"E = mc^2"

Thats a joke, also thats the only thing to produce so much energy to smelt stuff in that energy.

Real names (copied from wikipedia) :
Electric Arc Furnace
Plasma Arc Furnace
Jetstream Furnace

@molecular heater : Thats more like a microwave furnace, but instead of emitting waves of 2.8 GHz (water) it emits different waves to heat metals.

Go for solar + mfes/batboxes in the sides , so you can have energy stations scattered over the line. Chunkload them on the start just to store some energy.
How much an electric minecart consume (in any kind of power)?

packets bigger than 32 eu/t will blow up the luminator, you have to use lv transformers to get multiple 32 eu packets flowing.

you will need to use chunkloaders (there are several mods which adds this) otherwise the energy wont transfer.
RailCraft World anchor (sentinel for lines) is an example.

Since IC² is already going through an overhaul, how about turning all IC² machines into "MetaTileEntities" like GregTech ones, or anything to make them accept GregTech covers, and that would be awesome.

Or you can simply not support experimental and wait until it is finished and gets integrated into LF.
Talking about MetaTileEntities, i wonder why IC² didn't implement MetaTE like Greg, if it is already going through an overhaul... even with Greg's help.
Edit : If IC² machines supported Greg's Covers it would be AWESOME.

Why minecraft (or modded minecraft) has so many "libraries" and if that does impact on performance?
For example i can find "scala" ,which is another programming language, library.

Answering your question without any considerations :
2047 blocks with EV.

1 EU will reach in the end, 2047 EU will be wasted (you will get only 1 EU of the 2048 EU sent).

My recommendation is to use Glass fibers with HV, if you are able to handle the expense.
