Okay, here i am with a new support request:

Wiki says water mill unmanned energy production is 0,01 EU/t per water block right?

Placed a water mill surrounded by all possible water blocks (25). EU-reader measures 0,2 EU/t [average of 160 ticks or more] instead of 0,25.
A water mill surrounded by 21 water blocks [Tower design], it measured 0,17 Eu/t [average of 200 ticks or more] instead of 0,21.

So, someone could explain water mill mechanics like snyke did with wind mill?
PS: I would like if water mill unmanned output is doubled and recipe output halved
[1 water mill unmanned output = 0,5 EU/t and Generator + 4 stick + 4 planks -> 1 Water mill]

Flameanatorx, I really suggest you to use wind towers, otherwise space needed will be freaking huge [if you plan to expand it].
And, you can use tin cables with newest wind tower design, except for sending through glass fiber cables to base [For a wind tower at height 181 and your base is at a mountain you will need about 16 diamonds [If you use redpower silver recipe]

NÃO

Bem vindo ao Forum e...
Não é possivel isso, pois transformaria o reator nuclear em algo completamente inútil.


(yay, writing in my native language . Have fun translating it.)

Wait a minute... aren't the EU/t from the generators configurable in the IC2 config file? So then this suggestion is pretty much pointless right, because it can be changed to whatever "balanced" amount anyone thinks it should be, right? Unless those generator numbers in the config are for something else...

I suggested a change to default configuration + recipe.

Double EU/t and halve recipe output = Less work/space installing water mills but still receiving same Energy.
If you are making massive setups that will be much easier. Then water power can be a good source compared to solar/wind.

Quote from GregoriusT

Nope, Personal Safes are not Blastproof in that way. They're just letting the Explosion go trough them.

Same for Trade-o-mats.

Quote from jppk1

Water mills produce 0,25EU/t if placed correctly.

Nope. Try measuring directly a water mill fully surrounded by water. It will show 0,2 average of 20 ticks. Wiki is wrong.

Quote from Thyvo

or you can use redpower to fill your bukkit and pull the empty ones out of your watermills, there you have your 2 eu/tickR

Thats impossible for Massive Eu/t generation systems, unless you are able to hold huge item on tube lag.

I would like if water mill unmanned output is doubled [or increased to 0,5/t] AND its recipe output halved. [1 generator + wood -> 1 water mill]
This making water mill towers a good way to generate energy compared to solar/wind.
Water mills have the problem of hard [time consuming] instalation.

Quote from Someguyfromcrowd

I just wish that the bug with the EU measurement would be fixed.

"1593 EU/t!"
"-1023 EU/t!"
"3 EU/t!"
"-3691 EU/t!"

It's rather annoying when you're trying to measure how efficient your water tower is.

Ey! Try measuring one water mill directly with EU-reader, if it has all water blocks [25] it will measure 0,25 EU/t for 16 ticks and 0 for 4 ticks [average 0,2 Eu/t]
Just do a math, Total water mills x 0,2 EU/t

for the pro's and cons of wind ask spwnx he is our resident wind-nut.

Wind pros is its relative cheapness [cheaper than solar at least], its higher average output and that works all time.
Wind cons is its difficulty to place efficiently.

Soon Minecraft [Official update] will have Writeable books, so we may write inside it X Y Z coordinates inside it. Better than bothering about GPS or something like.
X Y Z + F3 is a good way to mark some special points.

Or you can use the newest Redstone behavior of storage blocks.

Emit if full, Emit if partially filled, Emit if empty , Nothing , etc.

Write inside quote next time

Ex: 48 : X + Y = Z (Your comment here)

Quote from GregoriusT

We are both right, SpwnX is only a bit more exact. After 40 Blocks you will not get any EU (I said 32 because i thought Steelcable loses 1 EU per Block).

It does. Actually Uninsulated Steel cable loses 1EU per block.
But he mentioned 3x Insulated Steel cable which loses 1 EU every 1.25 blocks

Some kind of Eletric ranged weapon have been suggested before. And wait for Industrial Conflict :\ (PVP-based Expansion for IC²)

Quote from passinglurker

tl;dr I'll look at them when you number them for easy response

Better now?

I will be waiting for E.net working with frames before building something. And learn RP computer language too.

Quote from passinglurker

then make a new item called "industrial charcoal" that is pure carbon and is harder to get

Pure Carbon Ball + Refined iron = Super refined Iron

Added more recipes (Some may not make sense)

Whatever then.
I can make dirt from uum anyway

1 and 6 :

Quote from RichardG

Our machine recipe system does let us make for example macerate 4 charcoal -> 1 coal dust.

12: redstone gives 500EU when placed inside a storage block.
redstone when placed on battery slot inside a machine it is consumed to power an operation.

Glowstone should also be used for that.

4: Forestry can produce mycelium. If we are able to macerate that mycelium we could automate it [Without RP breakers]

Quote from MatLaPatate

Mycelium/Grass block + macerator = Dirt
Do you really think anyone would use this one ?
:p
Some of your idea seems to be cool ...
For re-using ingot from some craft (Rails, Cart, Iron Door, Bucket) see to Redpower Alloy Furnace.

Mycelium from forestry + macerator from ic = fully automated dirt fabricator.

1: Carbon plate + Macerator = coal dust used into its fabrication.
2: 4 to 8 charcoal + macerator = coal dust
3: lava cell + extractor = obsidian
4: Colored wool + extractor = Wool
5: Mycelium/Grass block + macerator = Dirt
6: 2 Claydust in crafting = Clay block
7: 2 Vanilla Slab + compressor = full block
8: Pump + overclocked compressor = Ice
9: Pump/Miner have upgrade slots
10: 2 Water mill to generator recipe
11: Redstone torch + macerator = Redstone
12: All vanilla tools\armor when macerated wields dusts. [Including enchanted ones]
Amount of dusts depends on tool damage. Diamond dust on compressor = Diamond
Diamond tools can only be macerated inside an overclocked macerator
13: Glowstone should be usable by machines/Storage devices to give energy.
14: Coolant cell [Damaged] + extractor = coolant cell. [Not damaged] {Maybe same for any reactor part [except uranium obviously]}
15: 4 Wooden planks + Compressor = Log
16: 4 Leaves + macerator = sapling
17: Netherrack + macerator = netherrack dust
18: 16 Netherrack dust + compressor = redstone dust
19: Furnace + macerator = 8 cobblestone
20: Endstone + macerator = Endstone dust
21: 8 Endstone dust + Compressor = glowstone dust
22: Snowblock + compressor = 4 ice
23: Jack o lantern + macerator = 4 pumpkin seeds
24: TNT + macerator = 5 gunpowder
25: ITNT + macerator = 3 gunpowder
26: 8 dynamite + macerator = 3 gunpowder
27: Scrapbox + crafting = 9 scrap
28: Hydration cell [any damage] + crafting = Empty cell
29: Water cell + crafting = Empty cell
30: Coolant cell + crafting = Empty cell
31: Uranium cell [FULL only] + 8 empty cells = 8 near-depleted uranium cells
32: Blaze powder + generator = Energy!
33: Blaze powder + fuel can = 2x multiplier
34: Gunpowder + redstone + glowstone = blaze powder
35: Fertilizer + recycler = 100% chance scrap
36: Energy crystal + macerator = Diamond Dust + 4 Redstone [Redstone is spitted out if no pipe/chest is adjacent]
37: Battery + macerator = 4 tin + 2 redstone
38: X material cable + macerator = 3 material dusts [X is quantity of cable produced in crafting] [Rubber is lost, Glass fiber is not macerable]
39: Macerating cobble to has a low chance to wield a random dust heap
40: 8 glass + macerator = 8 glass dust
41: 8 glass dust + macerator = 8 sand
42: Dirt + macerator = random seed
43: Nikolite + red dye = redstone
44: Redstone + lapis = Nikolite
45: Compressed plants + macerator = 4 Fertilizer
46: Animal Food/Rotten flash + macerator = 2 Fertilizer
47: Enderpearl + Macerator = Enderpearl dust
48: Enderpearl dust + Rubber = Advanced Insulation [work 5x better as normal one]
49: Enderpearl dust + Blaze rod + 6 Lapotron Crystal + Freq. Trans = Portable teleporter which is slowly rechargeable at a MFSU
[Holds 6kk EU which is used to teleport user to a linked teleporter] {If teleport costs is higher than 6kk Teleport won't happen}
50: Redstone Lamp + macerator = 4 glowstone dust + 4 redstone dust
51: 8 Reinforced stone + Macerator = Advanced alloy dust
52: 7 Reinforced glass + Macerator = 2 Advanced alloy dust
53: Advanced alloy dust + Furnace = Advanced alloy
54: Increase Unmanned water mill maximum output to 0,5EU/t [x2 water mills outputs now] and decrease its Recipe output
[1 Generator + 4 sticks + 4 planks = 1 Water mill, instead of 2 Water mills.]


Black = Low chance of implementation
Green = Involves Nuclear reactor directly or indirectly
Yellow = Involves Teleportation
Light Blue = Involves Energy
Purple = Involves Deconstruction of some items. [If an "advanced recycler" is implemented, it could deconstruct any item and output its recipe contents into 9 output slots]
White = Random stuff
