High tier techs?

I have some random ideas:
Mass production of antimatter (element based too). Antimatter fusion reactor. Heavier and denser antimatter elements are used to store energy.
An artificial dwarf star that produces sunlight-like light on a few chunks around it.Who needs lamps when you have your own star in your backyard.
A phase shifting device that allows us to go through objects (like 1.8 spectator mode noclip).
A click to teleport to where you're looking at device for quick transportation.
Mass destruction weapons that harnesses the power of antimatter.
More magitech items that uses TC magic. (voidmetal-naquadah alloy).
Magitech: Allow mass purification or taint of land using a machine.
Terraforming: A block that relies on UUM to change the biome around it to whatever the player chooses. This was supposed to be an IC2 feature but...

Since its an ancient tech, use decent amounts of naquadah (enriched and naquadria), some new fancy alloys (osmium-tungsten-naquadah alloy) and even neutronium (made in a mk3 fusion reactor by combining a stack of osmium with a stack of iridium and a stupidly high amount of energy over a looooong time). Think of anything mcguffium-like.

Maybe allow us to craft a multi voltage (It can [dis]charge in any tier of battery buffer) battery using a depleted ZPM, as an ancient tech thingy?

That would indeed. Maybe a function of the machine controller cover? I used it in conjunction with a shutter cover (on a cable) to make a "splitter cable" in some cases.

If solar panel covers (placed on a cable) can inject power on the wire network, surely a light cover could draw from it, aye?

Carrot Cake is disgusting.

I like it when it has a chocolate topping.

Quote from Blood Asp

It's even registered internally as "gas".

Also it gains volume while fermentation. A fluid could not result in more output as input.
And all search results or wikipedia say it's a gas. The fluid version is called bio-ethanol.

Fine then. A gaseous fluid it is. A mix of methane and other stuff.

Nope, the gas name derives from american? gas, gasoline. That is what I remember when I asked about it.

Oh yes you are... and I likely did warn you.

Compare a biogas cell in a semifluid and in a fluidheat with stirling.

I was talking about the tower doing the same work as the ic2 fermenter, produce biogas and the diesel gen do the same work as ic2 semifluid, consume biogas.

Sorry for being unclear here dude, my bad.

The single block I'm referring to is the Diesel generator. I'm trying to make an argument to possible convert IC2 biomass into a fuel that will burn in a single GT Diesel GEnerator instead of (512/16) fluid heat generators.

I hate spamming machines and since the IC2 variant doesn't have an upgraded/tiered option, and we're working with a GT machine now (the distillation tower), GT-burnable biofuel is more appealing.

Well, the IC2 thing would be a tier on its own, being the lowest. GT would scale up the production, consumption and efficiency.

IC2 fermenter and IC2 semifluid can't quite produce or consume biogas (the fluid should not be altered, just add it to GT diesel gen) at the same rate a GT distillation tower would produce and a GT diesel generator would consume.

Quote from Pyure

There's not really any reason to convert it back to IC2 biogas of course. Once you introduce GT to the system you might as well keep it GT and allow running it in the diesel generator.

Granted I don't like a single block producing 512eu/t, but I prefer that to the limited 16eu/t you get from fluid heat/stirling gens.

The distillation tower and single block distillery are two different thingies, aren't they?
I meant a 512V recipe for the tower which is a multiblock. If you're planning to use the single block distillery a 32-128V recipe should suffice.

They sure do look.different while in the day...

Btw what about making floodlights for illumination of huge spaces? (See methods like Thaumcraft arcane lamp)

while it is called biogas it is actually burned in a semifluid generator. Think of it as biodiesel.
It is more fit to burn in a GT diesel gen.

Its burn value is 32k EU per bucket (1 mB = 32 EU) on an IC2 semifluid gen.

Quote from Pyure

Blood do you think it would be worthwhile to allow the distillation tower to process IC2 biomass? We discussed biomass a few days ago but it currently only processes Forestry biomass not the IC2 variant.

I have no idea what balanced numbers would be in this case.

I have an idea for numbers.

512V recipe, 1000 mB of biomass produces 20000 mB of biogas. The recipe would use 320k EU. 
There is a small boost in energy efficiency per biomass fluid and an enormous increase in processing speed. (the distillation tower produces the worth of 50 fermenters)

IndustrialCraft2 does not work on 1.8.4

You have to use MC 1.7.10.

and yet a mc map on Garry's mod is more resource intensive on my computer than a common one...

It seems to be a java thing according to FyberOptic

Some of you may have seen this by now since it's floating around Twitter, but in the surreal world we live in now of Microsoft owning Minecraft, they've now taken it upon themselves to create a Visual Studio development system for Minecraft mods.

And yes, Microsoft's comically ironic solution to making mods really is to just repackage Forge and let you develop Java code in Visual Studio.

Well, I know nothing about code to say anything.
