Many of those ideas can be added to the crafting table implementation. [I'm still in favor of automation yet]

Okay, add a button which leads to a second gui which has all items produced into this table and memorizes it. [I can edit pic if you want]
Autocrafting could be disabled by config if you want. [Pipes and adjacent chests wont work?]
Crafting something complicated like a mfsu would take about 1 to 2 minutes?

Making loads of copper cables [insulated], batteries, circuits and other basic stuff makes my finger hurt sometimes because i have to click alot. [even with shiftclick]
This could be the best crafting table ever, better than RP and BC ones together

You said IC is not for automation, but it is for processing. Crafting is a processing part which has no machines to do it. [Without RP\BC you cant automate this table FYI]
External chests part can also not be implemented if you want to make automation harder/impossible.

So, you are not going to take this down so easily!

So, i came here to suggest the item assembler, that works this way:

• Power Item assembler (LV),
• Place raw materials [that doesnt need any further processing {smelting, macerating, compressing...}, ONLY CRAFTING STEPS] inside left chest or internal storage if available,
• Place Final item recipe,
• Wait 5 seconds,
• Final item will be crafted , and sent to right chest if available
• Energy cost can be defined later for balance reasons.

• Secondary GUI shows the Third purple square items as raw materials for circuit recipe. [As it is the one which has the most raw materials]
• This make crafting (very) complicated stuff (like MFSU) much easier.
• MFSU for example have loads of crafting steps, which would consume LOADS of energy to craft.
• This is for (lazy) people who doesnt like to make lots of steps to craft something. Although it can be used to autocraft stuff.
• Crafting time can be highly increased if needed.
• More Crafting steps = More crafting time = More energy used.
• Overclocker reduce crafting time but drastically increases energy use.

Maybe Al could add a function to the mining laser that takes up half the power of the mining laser and makes the block that it hit's glow for a minecraft day.

Heat-mode which partially melts the block making it glow forever, like lava, and when cooled by water turns into cobblestone.

I dont get why someone complains about wasting 1/4 tin bar to clean a painter. Just spend that effort on mining and problem solved.

Achievement got: "Too lazy to mine"

After all you still have to know about wind mill mechanics or you can fail place [Wind mills are not easy to place as solars]. Wind mill special requirements are different [9x7x9], and not so obvious than solar or water generators.

If you want to mass wind mills using towers, EV is not the best thing to do. [You would need one HV transformer for each tower. Instead you would have to use glass fiber cables which increases cost ALOT]

Another con of wind mills is that you CAN'T hide it anyway. Solar can be hidden using RP covers [underground]. Water can be built anywhere. Fuel generators too.


And, why you want to nerf it? You can config its Eu output by yourself.
Default generation value is ok in my opinion.

Here are some comments:

Read the bright pink underlined thing. Have you lost your mind? Not all generators are the same. ALL the generators have drawbacks and good points. Before you call me wrong, here they are:

• Wind: Pros: Good energy gen if placed right, (not that) cheap. Cons: Breaks (this can be nullified with correct placing at the cost of Energy production) , takes lots of cable to bring to ground, placing this has high risk of death due very high fall , needs some knowledge before using (if you don't know its mechanics = very low or 0 energy production).
• Solar: Pros: Easy to place and use (any person with little sense can use this), unlimited. Cons: Stops working at night and rain, needs view of sky, highest cost of all green gens
• Nuclear: Pros: Highest output of any gen, Output depends on how much time/resources player wants to spend on it.. Cons: Meltdown, limited uranium, high cost.
• Manned Water: Pros: Good energy output, doesnt need any special condition [Sky or height]. Cons: Requires babysitting (Redpower removes this problem but adds another : lag due item flow in tubes)
• Unmanned Water: Pros: Unlimited, good to generate some energy for underground bases (with tower setup you can generate 0,21 EU/t per water mill [0,42 per generator]). Cons: Lowest energy gen of any generator
• Generator: Pros: Good energy output. Cons: Needs fuel (Fuel production can be automatizated with RP but takes lots of resources and time)
• Geothermal Generator: Pros: 2x Good energy output. Cons: Needs semi-rare fuel (lava from nether can be used for mass fabrication)

So that all the generators are "On par" with one another, they all need to stop working during day, use fuel, require babysitting, and need repairs, and remove any other options you have. WOAH! Guys, I think this may be the winning idea here.

Honestly, these "This is OP!!!!!1!" posts are getting old. Research everything thoroughly, use spell check, proofread your post, and offer practical solutions to the problem, not nerfs.

I like the idea,+1
Still,needs a limit on overclocker,as putting 10+ Overclockers will kill a full quantinum armor way too quick.If extra damage to energy based armor,shot EU value should be enormous (not like 10k/shot dealing 10% damage to QA/10shots\sec with overclocker) or it will make QA useless

Don't forget that player when damaged has a small delay before being able to take another damage. [If you heal yourself with splash pots it resets that timer

Quote from Two

So you cannot say that glass fiber cable are a requirement for wind mill setups, they are just the final perfection for it if you have the diamonds to spare.

I didnt say that it was a requirement, but best way to send energy to ground using my setup [and probably the only one] , if you don't have diamonds go strip mining or set up some miners.
I run out of iron much faster than diamonds.

No no no!! what did i write a few time ago?!

And people with less than 20 posts shouldn't be able to create new topics, otherwise some already denied suggestions and other non-sense may appear.

Instead, how about giving water\lava cells the ability to turn back into empty ones? [by placing water\lava source blocks]

Quote from Two

You need 2 HV transformers, one that converts up to EV and one that converts back. That is 2 diamonds, which is imo not too expensive. You can run that setup with just an MV transformer, however that will increase the loss by a good amount, but it will still produce more than a similar setup of water mills.

Or you can make each wind tower [64] have a reverted MV transformer sending HV through glass fiber cables to ground :
The best way for minimal loss is HV + glass fiber cables and NOT EV

Quote from TampaPowers

What about a Generator for liquid Nitrogen, then use Buildcraft to pump Water and the liquid Nitrogen to an Ice Producer, which could then supply a nuclear reactor with Ice Blocks.

Just pump the liquid nitrogen directly inside reactor, collect N2 gas and recool it.

Quote from GregoriusT

The blutric Furnace of Redpower has that ability already. (left => Input, right => Output)

Hmm for smelting stuff in which furnace? Alloy is: top -> Input , right -> output [unless that has been changed after frames]

+1 for a blocky translucent HUD for jet pack, bat pack, and armor status! Maybe take it a step further and add a pair of goggles or helmet upgrade that adds augmented reality in the game, such as cross hairs over a battery box and it's power and charge info shows up in the HUD! Reactor show temp etc...

Industrial Terminator Vision FTW!!!

It reminds me of Crysis Nano vision...

Heat detector, target distance , etc...

Maybe Holographic upgrades on any storage boxes/machine displaying power level , item processed , Time until completion.

Quote from FenixR

No need, point in case Thaumcraft and the googles.

Great, but night vision is possible then?
