Also, I remember someone suggesting a block that would be placed next to a machine/block, like a chest or macerator, to extend how many faces it has and thus allow more connections for automation. If such a block is added, I suggest that it can be used with the TiC Smeltery Controller, so that we can move ores in. Also, an automatic casting table/drain system, requiring EU to function, would be cool, as my wrists hurt from pouring and collecting several hundred tin/iron/bronze/copper/etc., and I'm sure many others run into that problem aswell.

I was the one that suggested it =P
It would allow greater automation setups, including better automation regarding other mods.

You could use mystcraft linking books, which are a very useful (and OP) teleportation tool.

Linking books + link modifier (cheated) [Following] = Infinite teleport to the location the book was created, no matter where you are.

Eh, honestly all the jetpacks in general need to get a good whack with the nerfhammer, in my opinion...

Thats why "use fuel", it is the nerf part. (Values can be tweaked to consume more fuel [given the storage can be bigger])
2x+ energy usage to charge tools also.

[Addon v1.115 for MC 1.5.2] Gravitation Suite v1.9.3 ! [SSP/SMP]

Was that a troll/joke post?

A bit of both, but actually a different type of armor, which uses fuel to fly and energy to charge tools (at a lower rate).
Gravisuit is too cheap IMO.

And, if we get jetpack filling support on Greg's canning machine can we use diesel cells to fill it?

We need an Advanced Lapotronic Jetpack, twice as fast, more expensive fuel-wise, powered by Nitro-coalfuel, Nitro-diesel or biofuel (Ethanol).
My idea is : Jetpack + Lappack + Lapotron crystal + some tier 3 stuff = Advanced Lapotronic Jetpack
Able to recharge tools (1.5M storage, for twice the actual energy cost) and fly (fuel storage of 1200 seconds of flight [1 nitrodiesel or 6 nitro-coalfuel or 3 biofuel cells]).
This would definetely be a very popular item.

You know I am talking about the FAR Future?

I do, thats why i didn't use the word "soon".

By the way, here comes a suggestion to keep whiners at their place :
Rework the config.
Add a section called "Changed Stuff", with several configs to revert all possible changes.
Config : "Realistic Industry" , if set to false revert all changes back to IC² style, with no plate bending, no extra processing/assembling, no nerfs.

Quote from GregoriusT

Yeah, I actually plan to add some kind of Pipe. But that comes as soon as I add my own Cables.

IC² independancy coming with that?

You could edit the OP to state that it is included in GT.

Quote from octarine-noise

This is brilliant. I'd like to see this too.

Or make machine casings "metatilentities" ?
As already mentioned above, machine boxes are way too expensive for what they do, disencouraging automation with them as we can do the same with other stuff like the small electric buffer.
How about reworking the buffers to be more like machine boxes, they would have an internal liquid tank [Small would have 1000 mB and large 64000 mB] , so it can also transfer liquids?
This would make the machine boxes deprecated, but would allow everything a machine box can do, in a buffer.

Greg, isn't it a little bit too unrealistic to get Tritium simply by putting Deuterium in a Industrial Centrifuge? You could change the production by putting Lithium in a chemical Reactor or doing something else with Lithium (in RL you have to let 6-Lithium react with neutrons). Please thing about it and tell me what do you think about this, thank you!

Deuterium and Tritium are Hydrogen isotopes (H-1 Hydrogen, H-2 Deuterium, H-3 Tritium) , guess why you have to centrifuge them out of normal hydrogen?

Currently IC² is kinda "frozen" in terms of development, as the main developer (alblaka) is currently missing.

Although, you can expect a major nuclear reactor overhaul from GregoriusT, owner of the major IC² addon (GregTech), sometime in the future.
Molten Salt Reactors are being developed atm, will be a bit more complex than IC² ones, but nothing overcomplicated (for now).

Quote from Kenken244

A couple comments on the new changes:
Could you make all recipes requiring tools be able to be made in a machine? in particular, turbine blades and tools can't be made automatically.
Could you allow heating coils to be made in the lathe, so I don't have to use MJ?

Here, at this moment, i request a way to not be obligated to use MJ on rolling machine of RailCraft. [aka make their recipes on another machine, powered by EU] {Advanced Assembler maybe?}

Quote from AngryMidget

Guess he meant the Industrial Grinder

That was what i forgot. The Ind. Grinder.
Derp.

Greg should add liquid support to all his machines, that would please everyone.
Blast furnace (Liquid Silicon)
Industrial Grinder (Mercury, that calcium thingy to get more iron)
Centrifuge (Mainly for deuterium and tritium, but some other recipes too)
Electrolyzer (Liquid Lithium and Sodium [and any other])
Distillation Tower (Oil/biomass -> Fuel/biofuel)
Implosion Compressor (If we ever get nitroglycerin [Glycerol cells] as explosive alternative)
and any other i may have forgotten.

Quote from LostCoder

Yes, it's author's decision.

As long we get robots and i can learn how to program them, i don't care much about it.

Quote from LostCoder

Oh, this is very old, bearded holywar. It's beard start to grow when structural programming born. You may consider it as "pure" holywar because there is almost no valid reasons on both sides. Trick is that most language structures may be rewritten to use "goto", as well as algorithms may be rewritten to not use it at all, e.g. to use only language structures. So it's mostly about programming style + a bit of compiled code efficiency.

Uh, okay. Anyway, if we ever get programable stuff (like robots), it may not have "goto" right?

You guys still didn't tell why GOTO is bad.

Quote from GregoriusT

The whole point is, whenever you use GOTO, you will get attacked by a Velociraptor.

Quote from SegFaulter

I have gotten the idea of building my industrial-everything underground. But it is so dark/saddening under there.
So, I got an idea, for a suggestion... Have you ever seen those digital picture-frame-things that some people have, that cascade from picture-to-picture every few seconds? Well, what if you add a big industrial variant of something like that (multiblock), that is kinda like a painting, but made of blocks, needs power to operate, has a basic control-''computer'', and etc.? It would be similar to Nuclear Control's Industrial Information Panel, except that the computer is not part of the ''frame''.

Usage: The user finds ''holographic-image-chips'' from dungeon/chest loot, and creepers drop them rarely. The chips can be put into the computer, up to 16 of them. An overlay, like Glass, can be selected to make the screen look more realistic. The user can set it to 3 different modes: Single-image (only one image; uses first one in inventory), Cascading (goes from image 1 to 2, then 3, all the way to the last one and then back to 1 and repeat), and Shuffle (Changes images randomly). Modes 2 and 3 can take a timer-setting, from 1 second to an entire hour, and anywhere inbetween.

Display: The screens would have a holographic-effect, kinda like the End Portal blocks, so moving from left to right will make the "stuff" in the holographic image move. Closer objects move more than farther objects, so that it looks realistic. Overworld-images with clouds would have clouds that always move, but simplified (just an animated image; no actual 3d-box or rendering/randomization; it loops like a GIF image; but the image moves like other image-aspects (trees, etc.).
It may be laggy though, so the user can set it to a ''simple'' display mode, that just shows an image on the screen.

That way, we can have screens, that appear to be just like windows, simulating an Overworld field with trees and clouds, when living in an underground industrial-base. Or, we can have a wall of screen, that looks like a nether-area, with reinforced-glass overlays, inside a large workshop/factory suspended a few blocks over a Sulfuric-acid ocean created by industrial pollution.

Reason behind this addition suggestion: Because a stone/stone-blocks/CF/Reinforced-stone wall doesn't look interesting enough, and makes some people/people bored to the point of quitting Minecraft for a while. Also, holographic fake-windows look cool.

Virtual reality, inside "Virtual reality" , lol.

Imagine, a virtual dimension, where players can get in, fly, destroy blocks, build, but its all fake, as once the player leaves the dimension his inventory goes back to what it was before going in.
Virtual dimension could be programmed to have different generations (space, nether, overworld, end, skylands, whatever pleases you).

That makes me thing about all games, which we can get lots of things, be "rich", be "powerful", but those things are just values on a data center... not real, in any way.

But ... it has nothing to do with GOTO ...

I did watch it (long time ago), but has no idea what it has to do with "GOTO"
