  • Suggestion: Nanotech Laboratory

    Second idea for nanobot duration/modes:
    Lasts forever until player health gets lower than 70%
    If player health is lower than 70%, there is a 1% chance on nanobots getting destroyed every second
    If player health is lower than 50%, there is a 2% chance on nanobots getting destroyed every second
    If player health is lower than 30%, there is a 4% chance on nanobots getting destroyed every second
    If player health is lower than 15%, emergency mode is activated and nanobots gives quadruple boost for 5 minutes, then gets destroyed after that.
    [Medical instant heals you 5 hearts after emergency mode activates]


    If player press default key for modes while holding nothing, activates double boost and improving quantumsuit effects while consuming 0.25% of energy from quantumsuit [all parts] every second.

  • Water mill cluster gives negative eu/t output

    Quote from raGan

    Thats not quite right. I tested 4 watermills and i always got 32EU per 40 ticks, which means 0.20 EU/t per mill. I'm not sure if watermills were outputting 0.25 EU/t before, since luminator (0.25EU/t) was not able to run on single mill.

    Try measuring the water mill directly (waiting a few seconds) you get 0,2 EU/t always [I got 0,2 with 154 ticks avg and same with 850 ticks avg]
    If you hold right click it shows:
    0,25 avg over 4


    0,25 avg over 4


    0,25 avg over 4


    0,25 avg over 4


    0 avg over 4
    --------------------
    0,25 avg over 4
    0,25 avg over 4
    0,25 avg over 4
    0,25 avg over 4
    0 avg over 4


    Meaning it produces power for 16 ticks and stops for 4 ticks. (4/5 second it is on producing 0,25 EU/t then it shuts off for 1/5 second and turns of again for 4/5 second then off for 1/5 second...)
    I think it is a bug? it should output 0,25 all time.

  • How to set up a wind farm?

    Quote from bbqroast


    It appears people put them high but then put them very close lowering the effective height below 80 so they don't explode (Effective height = hight - amount of blocks nearby; see the wiki) while keep efficiency/compactness high.


    Wind mills over 80 can explode in storms :(.

    They won't explode, but their blades will spin off and the wind mill turn into a normal generator (it means you need 4 iron bars to repair it)



    And for SMP best setup is compact tower setups (cables with 4 mills each side and 4 block spacing between each tower side)

  • Which green generator do you prefer ?

    Quote from jandrese

    You forgot to mention the one big downside of running that manned watermill setup: The horrendous noise. It's worse than wind gens, although you can at least hide that water setup deep underground so you don't hear it all of the time.

    And you can delete wind/water/any IC² sound on industrialcraft-2-client_1.X.jar
    or disable all ic² sound on config.

  • New Iridium Uses

    Uranium cells decays over reactor time, not pulses
    Edit: I would like to see some kind of fusion reactor using tons of iridium stuff

  • New Iridium Uses

    You know that uranium cells when placed next to each other increases its generation (4 cells making a square generate about 12M EU)

  • [Suggestion]: Compact Solar Panel Arrays for performance.

    Geothermal can be placed at a big lava lake on nether
    Regular ones can burn scrap and most plants (you can automate a cacti farm) with forestry im sure you can automate a tree farm.
    Wind mills if placed using a space efficient design can generate more energy than solar, and it is still cheaper than it.
    Water mills if manned mode is automated using RP its great.

  • [Suggestion]: Overclockers and More for Generators

    Quote from Daemonblue

    But in the case of windmills, having more of them will mean you'll most likely have some of them running while others are not, but if you focus on one windmill with the upgrades if it goes out you'd lose the function of the whole thing. So while a group of say 64 windmills could have a throughput of 128 E/t, you probably won't get that all the time, and while some windmills aren't running others might be running so you'd still get some energy since they cover a larger area. With a single windmill it's more susceptible to the winds since the area covered would be less. Now if you, say, made an area with 64 windmills that each had max upgrades, then yea that would probably produce a ton of energy, but I think that would also be well deserved considering how much mass production would be put into play for that kind of endeavor.


    Oh, and don't limit the ideas to straight overclockers, I just used that term in the title to grab attention. As stated in the first paragraph, it's more of an energy production efficiency addition. This is more of an idea to lower the space needed to produce lots of power to help supplement the raised power costs of machines with the overclocker upgrade (which can, with enough upgrades, eat up to 8k EU/t), as well as any future machines that may consume massive amounts of energy. I would hate to see the wind power plant that would be needed to produce that kind of energy :X

    I can place 1600 wind mills using 32x20x32 (max height possible and space efficient design) and generate about 2000-6000EU/t
    Want a screenshot? i can post it here if you want
