Compact watermills (UNMANNED ONLY) would work, given enough calculations.
Pumping water into watermills makes even less sense than the unmanned mode.

For example :
1 watermill calculates a 3x3x3 (25 blocks max due watermill and cable) outputting up to 0,25 EU/t
"LV" (8 ) watermill would calculate a 7x5x7 (242 blocks max due watermill and cable) outputting up to 2,42 EU/t
"MV" (64) watermill would calculate a 13x11x13 (1853 blocks max due watermill and cable) outputting up to 18,53 EU/t
"HV" (512) watermill would calculate a 25x23x25 (14363 blocks max due watermill and cable) outputting up to 143,63 EU/t
"EV" (4096) watermill would calculate a 49x47x49 (112823 blocks max due watermill and cable) outputting up to 1128,23 EU/t


Fancy rotors could be added.
I know this is not realistic, but at least follows IC² "unmanned" aspect.


Real watermills would require a big dam + waterfalls + watermills with rotors on the end of waterfall to transform gravitational energy into kinetic and then into electrical.

In an industrial sense, the diamond drill is "overclocked" and increases speed for more power consumption.

However, the battery has not been improved so there will be less uses.

This. I gave up on trying to explain it

I do like the idea of milk being a liquid able to store in a tank, but if milk was pump-able into a centrifuge, then Greg might as well make all processable liquids able to be pumped into their appropriate machine (which will hopefully happen anyway), if he did add a methane recipe from milk then he would probably add milk cells anyway, also your biodigestor idea sounds great, it could produce biomass cells, or biocells, and a little bit of methane, it would mainly take time and any decomposable matter.

Thats the idea. Organic Matter -> less complex carbohydrates which can be used as fuel.

Quote from TuxedoSteve

Unless Greg also added milk cells it wouldn't work entirely well, because milk buckets don't stack, and I'm almost positive a meter cubed bucket of milk doesn't contain a meter cubed of methane, but otherwise it would be nice, and not the easiest possible thing to automate for power.

Or add liquid (fluid) milk, which could be pumped into centrifuges (or a biodigestor thingy that i'm suggesting for ages).

Before, we could "burn" milk into MJ.
How about adding milk centrifuging into methane?

@Milk giving hunger: What about making it not heal any hunger, but it will increase your saturation a bit?
EDIT: Candy could also have this ability, too.

Then you could drink milk forever, nope.

Maybe make milk refresh some hunger (none to few saturation) ?
sugar + furnace = candy?

Thank you for reminding me on that. I wanted to use the JackHammer as Chisel.

A tool intended to crush stuff being used on "delicated" crafting work, lol. Whatever, MC logic.

Quote from Chocohead

That's not what he wants though. He wants to only disable the overworld so people have to go to the Twilight forest or mist craft ages ton get ore.

Why he just don't create a rule that prohibits mining on overworld?

It is the opposite. To harness its speed, it requires much more energy.

Have you considered what to do in case someone decides to DOS your server by creating a crapton of panels that send their information to you?

This is what i tought. Although i think there are simpler ways to DDoS a server, like /ping.

Uh, are your (Greg) sensor kits compatible with the "web upgrade"?
Thats what i meant, sorry ;D

Quote from GregoriusT

I guess regular Sensor Cards, which are using your API properly will work without extra effort, right?

GregTech Web cards?

Woot! Checking my stats of all stuff right from the web, awesome!
I just wonder if it would overload the website, if you have WAY too many "web upgrades"

Who needs to connect to the server to check for the daily "afk" production, nobody anymore lol.

Quote from GregoriusT

The same Reason why you sometimes doublepost.

, meh.

Quote from GregoriusT

No it's not. HexTech is the same as 6-Tech as Hex = 6. What you are referring to is either MagiTech or WizTech.

Think about League of Legends. Hextech is actually a slang term for Techmaturgy.
Y u always talk about something instead of actual suggestion ?

Suggestion : Hextech Upgrades
(Hextech is technology fueled by magic)

Hextech Upgrade :
Allow machines to use Magical Power as energy source.
Will convert magical items/liquids into Magic Power, at 2/3 ratio of magic converter.
Will absorb atmospheric vis into Magic Power, at 1/2 ratio of magic absorber.
Machines will store initially 10000 Magic Power. [1 MP = 1 EU]
Nether star can be inserted to increase efficiency of ratio to 1 of magic converter and 2/3 of magic absorber. 2 Stars will increase the ratio to 1 of magic absorber.

Recipe :
4 Thaumium Ingots , 2 energy flow circuits, 1 eye of ender, 1 magma cream, 1 HV transformer.

Magic Power Storage Upgrade :
Increase MP storage by 100000.

Recipe :
6 Thaumium Ingots, 1 Digital Chest, 2 data circuit.

Try downgrading to IC² 374 for 1.5.2
It is the most stable version for IC²

Sidenote, your windtowers seems to lack the extra obstructions above it (to prevent them from breaking).

Since people may not like the particles, add a config to stop their rendering.

Also, if those particles generates along connected stations, it is a good way to find someone's base by just following that path, which is awesome.

Quote from hoho

I meant they should also be consumed when used as upgrades for machines

You mean, rightclick the machine with a nether star, upgrade is applied, star is gone?
