Overclocking ratio :
Base EU per block * 1,5^n / Base Operation time per block * 0,7^n
n = number of overclockers

Base EU per block = 750 EU
Base operation time = 40 ticks
Thus base EU/t = 18,75

Maximum OC = 10
Maximum EU per block = 43249 EU
Minimum operation time = 1,12 (1) tick.
Thus EU/t = 43249 EU/t

Edit :
@atomic disassembler : Another item, called atomic stabilizer, which decreases damage upon usage by 50% [so that it won't kill you {player has only 20 hp}] and slowly regenerates you [1 hp every 2s] for enormous amounts of EU and (or) use UUM [1 UUM for every 100 hp restored].

Edit2 :
Suggestion : Atomic forcefield Ring , increases player maximum health (health boost of potency N). N is determined by amount of UUM used on the ring. N is a logaritmical formula which i can't remember how to write (this means you reach a maximum N no matter how much UUM you use). UUM is "depleted" upon damage at a rate of 1 UUM for every 40 damage taken

Make it have nasty sideeffects upon an event [like hitting nuclear stuff like uranium ores {or blocks}].
It would be fun to see it causing an "uncontrollable" fission reaction and exploding everything :3

We can do the following :
Suggestion section and bother greg to suggest that directly to player/thunderdark.
Another note is that windmills may be reworked on IC² exp.

I don't agree with yours and you don't agree with mine. We are good, just don't force them at each other.

@offtopic : What do you mean? It is 13:32 here. -4 GMT. I stay on here all day long, until midnight or so.
Good about the atomic disassembler. That name is more "science" related if compared to the "catalyst" of EE2. Just that :3

Two types of windmill :
The wooden-brick one would generate free mechanical energy used for macerators or anything that can use that [MJ]. Tier 0-1
The metal-shiny one would generate electrical energy (as it has a dynamo on its top). I could make a design of a multiblock windmill if someone want. Tier 2-3

Thats why i said in MY OPINION they look nicer.

Those windmills are not designed for energy generation, if i'm not wrong. They provide mechanical energy to process stuff like a tier 0 macerator. Expecially wheat.

My opinion is that the former one (i posted) looks nicer and more "industrial" like.

Yes, but it will have a really nasty recipe and huge energy consumption (i am considering 2048 EU/t, because IMO it digs tons and tons of ores)

Make it consume about 5k EU per block. EU/t is based on that value and speed of drill. + multiplier of advanced drills

These are the ones i want to see :

Call it "Atomic Disassembler"

Quote from Chocohead

They don't fly, they have floating cables for support.

Oh, the cables can not touch the ground if you want, the cables material are theorically not strong enough to sustain the windmills and... ah cmon.

Realistic windmills would use the windmill block (and a rotor), like the CW and special iron fences as a support, while the energy is output in the bottom.
They would have to be buffed tho.
[Windmill iron fences are different, it has cabling to transfer energy]

Consider that quarry digs ALL blocks. Miner digs only ores (and blocks in the way), it should be several (MANY) times faster, and energy efficient.

Add multiblock raintanks which collect "rainwater" and make only THAT water pumpable in the watermill.

Quote from GregoriusT

Said Sand Storms are demolisching the Windmills and therefor your Wind generation would be a bit short.

The blades are big enough to sustain that. The only problem may be the base being covered/removed. Who cares, this is minecraft, we have flying windmills.

Still doesnt make sense - the temperature thingy.
In theory the best would be to make the watermills recognize "water tanks" (both natural or not - except ocean water which could be exploitable), or add a new fluid called "rainwater" which randomly generates on rains and flows like energized glowstone, but downwards and when it comes in contact with normal water, it disappears.

not really, but you can check the main post with the accepted suggestions.
Greg rarely denies (by saying "no" or something), but also rarely say "yes i'm going to add that".

My geothermal suggestion didnt get denied nor accepted, for example.

Getting real watermill conditions is nearly impossible just that :\

"meow" :3

Quote from GregoriusT

I highly agree but, ain't no Greg got time for dat.

If IC² forum userbase help it will be easy. "We" just need the mechanics behind the new blocks to properly document them.
I'm pretty sure that IC² is MUCH easier to document if compared to GT.

As long the losses are percentages, it is fine.

@Above : Please, not thunderdark :3
