Greg, i'd like to suggest changing these following centrifuges recipes :
Make electrolyzed water cell on centrifuge produce only H-Cell if no empty cells are provided. Many would dislike to keep removing those compressed air cells.
Make bauxite dust on centrifuge produce only Aluminiun dust if no empty cells are provided. Same reason as above, many will only centrifuge bauxite for aluminium.
Remove compressed air cell byproduct from sand centrifuge, for same reason as above.
+9001!
And please lets stop this =).
It's really too bad that buildcraft pipes can't be used to 'run water through' the water mills...like a real water mill... >_>
It could, but it is like generating energy from nowhere (you get more energy from watermills than using to pump water into it).
Anyway there is PowerConverters which can "break" that physics law since it adds waterstrainers (accepts only piped water to generate energy).
Hint : use Thermal Expansion Aqueous accumulator for infinite water into those strainers.
It would allow greater IC² generator systems with RP too. +1 =) [Thread rated too]

It is a way to generate Uranium, but I was planning on making Uranium generation a bit harder than it is currently, although that is not going to be the only purpose of the addon. I was planning on adding various newer elements that would have various uses along with a much more efficient Uranium cell that produces more per cell(Pure Uranium-235).
You could make it generate Thorium and Plutonium (and make them compatible with GregTech ones).
How about gems (Emeralds, sapphires , rubies), nikolite and silver (stuff that vanilla IC² can't generate but is needed for many stuff, at least for those who uses Redpower).
What about increasing the penetration power and leave the radius the same? Viable for use against reinforced iridium castles?
To increase penetration power you would have to increase blast radius, or make it "ignore" some materials on its way (like nukes does with trade-o-mats and Personal safes).
So this is a efficient way to "genererate" uranium?
I suppose input materials gives machine X protons and neutrons and target item consumes Y protons and neutrons.
all excess protons and neutrons (not consumed to make target item) will be wasted (released into atmosphere).
There is one catch. Trees (and, probably, other crops) do not seem to grow when there is no player around.
It doesnt since only chunks nearby players are loaded on memory (and thus active, growing stuff, decaying items, producing energy...). Unloaded chunks have their time "frozen"

Thanks for the info so I guess at map height is the best
Best Lightning rod setup is making its base near bedrock and having a very long fence post up to sky (about 250 fences).
I know it will be slightly hard to wire energy to surface, but its up to you.
It would be realistic and nice to see polluted enviroments. I wanted to give my word about this so...
There could be many ways of pollution :
Soil :
Radiation from meltdowns/nukes turning nearby blocks into poisonous ones that spreads slowly (like ICBM ones)
Desertification [over-usage of high rank crops without fertilizers], turning dirt/grass into sand
Atmoshpere :
Radiation from meltdowns/nukes turning whole chunk air poisonous (People could build a geiger counter that works similar to ThaumCraft Vis/Taint aura detector)
Greenhouse gases (From burning stuff), which heats up nearby chunks (Works smilar to radiation), making less stuff grow there and even damage entities if it is on a critical level.
Water :
Radiation from meltdowns/nukes turning whole water into chunk poisonous on contact (Atmosphere and water radiation levels are shared). Fish are less common and they are poisonous.
Water on polluted enviroment will become acid if greenhouse gases are on a critic level, severely damaging anything that comes on contact. (Items dropped will be destroyed)
Hazmat suit should effectively protect players from those damages, but they will stop protecting them once either radiation or greenhouse gases achieve critical levels.
Radiation will slowly decrease (or increase if there are many Uranium ores/blocks in chunk)
greenhouse gases will decrease according to plants on chunk (leaves, sugar canes, wheat, crops... etc)
To Thread Owner : E ai tudo bom? É raro ver alguem que fale portugues por aqui =)
Well, all green gens are "free". Only cost is initial setup and lags.
Milk works great with logistic pipes. You can have a dispenser or turtle at one point (with a cow, of cause), providing milk and collecting empty buckets, and then at any point of network you can have unlimited refills with liquid supplier.But if you want to have hundreds of MJ/t for MassFab, then most pricy thing are engines, and with using biomass you can make 5x from same amount of engines. Making sufficient biomass is relatively cheap, if you use logger efficiently.
About less engines you are right, but making biomass is not as easy as gathering milk (Redpower Deployers works great for that).
If you have logger you should make tree farms and use wood for scaffold in IC² generators.
E-net only causes lag and\or strange behavior if Generator system , Storage blocks and machinery wires are connected.
Milk is good early, but for Industrial amounts of electricity you will have to use too much engines. So, biomass, or even seed oil is better.
But milk is free, so "free" electricity. Each engine = 2,5 EU/t permanently (as you keep up Redpower filling one engine with a milk bucket every 40000 ticks. [about 33 minutes] )
You realize that this thread is approaching its first birthday, right?
First post was made on October 6th, its "birthday" were 10 days ago =)
How about a Tier V / VI Antimatter Generator (Matter + Antimatter -> Pure energy) ?
Once I have suggested a solar satellite, don't know where it is now.
We need something better for wireless power transmission. Keep IDSU and add another thing like a teleport cable, which has high loss, but cheaper than IDSU.
I want my Laser turret for house defense ^^.
=)
I've used a [reed farm -> fermenter -> biogas engines -> transformers -> EU] setup in multiple worlds and it works just great.
Using a single 21x21 reed farm (with optimal fill pattern, 80%) 1 biofuel engine on a forestry harvester - produces more reed than you know what to do with.
The fermenter needs 1 biogas engine powering it for every ~25-ish engines that need biomass.And If you want a REALLY OP setup with forestry - do it in an accelerated mystcraft age lol.
Why?
If you can simply burn one bucket of milk for 40000 MJ in a biogas engine?
Redpower automilk refill + biogas + Transformer -> EU!
I hate to break the news to Al, but as someone mentioned before, turning rocky rust into ferrous metal without a reducing agent is magic.
Furnace :
Iron ore (Hematite) + Coal (or anything that has carbon in its composition, aka burnable) = Iron (Ingot) + Dioxide Carbon (CO2)
C + 1/2 O2 -> CO
Fe2O3 + 3CO -> 2Fe + 3CO2
Electrical Furnace :
Fe2O3 (liquid) ------Electricity-----> 2Fe + 3/2 O2
The way MC turns ore into ingots is not that magical, neither is IC².
Although i think it is a good idea, this have been denied before. Please use the kinda hidden search function. [It is at top right corner]
Suggestion: New Crafting Table
I like how Railcraft/Forestry uses some machinery to create advanced stuff, but final word is not mine =) .
This has already been suggested before many times, please use the kinda hidden search function.
[Suggestion] RedPower Cover Cables
Suggestion: IC² Cables being able to be hidden with RP's Covers,etc.
[Suggestion] Make RedPower covers and cables placeable within same block
About suggestion :
Sorry but that would require either a major overhaul of IC² wires and stuff or making RP2 a prerequisite. [which is not good]. It is impossible to do it now.
If you want "walls of cables" use Construction Foam as mistaqur said.
My suggestion about covers:
If cables could be disguised the same way IC1 "Cable Obscurator" did, it would be cool =D.
