Sorry, but I try to not rely on any BC-API-Stuff.
I can understand your hate against "BuildCrash", but thats sad anyway.
GregTech could have microblocks on its own without any dependencies, or it may be a pain to code?
Maybe a mod fusion with immibis microblocks (which is independant, i believe)
I though water mills produced 2EU/t when they had water buckets in.
they did, before it got nerfed due Redpower automated manned watermills.
Now it generates 1 EU/t.
I haven't been keeping up with this thread, just figured I would chime in and try to help.
Speaking of APIs, I was digging through the Applied Energistics wiki a while back and found that AlgorithmX2 uses a Buildcraft API interface called "IFacadeTile" or something to that effect (can't find it anymore). If someone could convince the IC2 devs to use this, then there's one solution. If not, I'm sure an add-on dev could figure something out.
GregoriusT?
Not sure how this could be coded, but some kind of Super ultimate mega Pants that the longer you run at, the more speed you gain, like those Boots in Terraria.
And what about Rocket boots? Like a jetpack but you can only fly for like 5 seconds, allowing a Super jump.
Acceleration Leggings, super jump is pretty useless as quantum boots does it.
I'd rather some magnetic boots that makes player produce impact waves (that knockbacks and does damage) when landing with high speed, after quantum jump for example.
Universal Electricity Atomic Science Particle Accelerator.
Makes anti-matter, eats tons of energy, need a huge multiblock building. It accepts EU directly.
How much of them would 2 reactors need?
Steam produced depends on EU/t it would produce. Higher output reactors will produce more steam, which means more turbines.
I seriously don't know EU-Steam convertion rate but i suppose it is 2.5 EU = 1 MJ = 5 mB steam so, 1 EU/t = 2 mB/t Steam.
But what is that power converters mod about? Converting power between several electricity grids, or does it add something very usefull for the design?
It converts power between mods : Railcraft Steam (mB), Factorization Charge (CG), Industrialcraft² Energy unit (EU), BuildCraft Minecraft Joule (MJ), Universal Electricity Joule (J).
It works with an energy bridge, with two (or more) module blocks. You can have up to 6 modules. All mods have an energy consumer and producer (Input/output).
For example you can connect a steam consumer to reactor and any other mod producer to get any mod energy like this :
Steam Consumer
Energy Bridge
"Mod energy you want" Producer
"Mod energy you want wire/cable/conduct"
-STEALTH MODE: You don't appear on other suits' radar, and you turn yourself invisible. You lose 15% of your current armor points while cloaked because the energy is directed at the camo-module. You are extremely vulnerable to EMP strikes, meaning that if a fully charged EMP detonates while you are in range, ALL your stored energy will deplete and you will feel some pain... not important, huh?
It constantly drains energy from your set while you are cloaked, and the energy efficiency and EMP protection can be upgraded on the tinker table, and everytime it will get more expensive.
If you get hit while cloaked, it will deactivate and you'll lose 2% of your total energy level (it may seem a small percent, but it's a lot of energy for someone who is "DA HEAVY BATTERYMAN"!).
Your hotbar item still will be visible, until notch changes the game.
Item in hand can be not renderable, invisible too. GregTech cloaking device makes player, armor, item in hand and cape invisible
Going to give it a try, with two methods to distribute steam.
Edit : failed as RC iron tank refuses to output steam, a bug on my side, whatever.
Mine pyrite in the nether, get exp, enchant diamond pick, hope for silk touch (and unbreaking), repair it whenever needed by repeating process 1 and 2.
or
Use cheaty enchant + and get your Drill with silktouch.
You can hook up Terreracts directly to it, so covering every block efficiently
Or connect a HUGE RailCraft Iron tank directly to it and take its steam through dozens of valves.
what do you mean?
He wants AtomicStryker's Powerconverters Water Strainers, which are able to generate 2 EU/t , given enough water (it does accept tubes/pipes/ducts).
Your post hurts my eyes.
Also: You can still use infinite water for the mills, but if they Consumed the water faster then it Re-created itself.
Like a Pump in a 2x2 Infiwater.
That was part of my intention =P.
Thats obviously an insult of the laws of the physics :
Pump + Infinite (here starts the insult) water pool + Watermill (or waterstrainer) = Infinite energy (here ends the insult)...
Unmanned watermills are also f*** unrealistic" but they at least not that much as you can justify that it uses "water currents" [although they don't exist on an artificial lake] .
Anyway, who cares? Watermills are so underused.
Display MoreWe need way to buff Fuel-based generators. We need MultiBlocks generator (both Fuel and Green, assuming MultiBlock Greengen would be much more efficient than Solar Pannels/Windmills but not as exploitable, as they would be harder to spam).
I need way to use Compressed Air cells as amplifiers (returning the cell, of course ^^) for Fuel-based generator.
I want Industrial Booze Barrels (bigger, and easier to automate), and special Generators working on alcohol. I want Watermills + Special Water tanks wokring as Storage Units (as IRL, and it would be cheaper than storage units but taking way more space ^^).
I want Tons of way to generate Heat and generator turning heat into EUs (can be done with compatibility for RC boilers), such as Solar Pannels/Mirror to heat a Tower (you can imagine these being Expensive Glass-like, the whole thing making a Multiblcok structure with Heat/t depending on the numbers of Mirror) [Wikipedia + Solar Energy to see what I'm thinking about] + Advanced Geothermal Generator turning Lava into Obsidian for almost 50 000 EU once you turned that heat into EU + Cooling Liquids for Nuclear Reactor that could be cooled down while generating EU into a Thermal Generator or such.
I want RP2-like Windmills (more efficient, but consuming way more Refined Iron/Steel/Aluminum).
I want tons of things. The question is, what will you do ? I hope one of the thing I described, so I would use your addon ^^.
Some opinions :
That seems nice, but i will still be able to over-engineer them =P.
Air cell + liquid transposer = gaseous oxygen. Gaseous oxygen -> generator = 50% boost. 1 cell consumed every 20000 EU produced.
Biofuel rework would be nice, with distilleries and such. To make watermills work like IRL we need to make water not infinite and start accumulating with rain (finite water mod).
Factorization solar generator is like IRL solar tower ones, IC² solar generator is like IRL photovoltaics ones.
Sounds nice, but i don't like to use resources to generate energy, like many.
A Machine that consumes crazy EU and gives anyone within 4 blocks Health and Food.
Like 2048/t
:3
Rejuvenation chamber?
Coal ore?
+ industrial grinder.
A wise man once said:"We dont need morr Generators to produce EU but more Machines to consume it!".
We need something like UE atomic science Particle accelerator (LHC) to consume tons of EU to get antimatter which has many (military) uses.
Quantum tank is limited to the output speed of just 6 pipes I believe.
Same with tesseract, but I suppose you could always have a dozen output tesseracts to do the same thing as a big iron tank much more compactly (and maybe cheaper, depending on your ender farm).
Reactor -> Directly adjacent tesseract (Freq X)
Multiple Tesseract (Freq X) -> Multiple steam accepting stuff
Get powercrystals powerconverters, plug energy bridge, steam consumer + mod energy producer you want and you are good =).
OR
Place Liquid Tesseract (Thermal expansion) directly adjacent and link it to others Liquid tesseracts that are connected to Steam turbines, Steam engines or Tanks (quantum tank ?)
Thats because its not a constant Energy requiring GregTech Machine.
I've measured it while working and it tells me an usage of 4 EU/t ...
Dat sounds op, Perhaps they can stack up to 16, but when you put it in a Reactor only 1 gets placed in it?
Im pretty sure thats possible.
Make them not work when stacked.
