It is just that Greg didn't really update GT to 1.7.10, he just threw a "working" version.

You can only say goodbye hoppers if we get an IMPORT upgrade.
That is why i would like it to be implemented, also note that hoppers are awful to the server performance.

Aside that, pretty good setups there guys.

Your idea is to make bigger rotors have a higher minimum wind requirement. I agree with that.
Like, 15 MCW for small, 20 MCW for medium and 30 MCW for large.

Any plans to update this to 1.7.10? I was really enjoying it in my 1.6.4 build, but when I tried to make a second profile to try out some of the new stuff, I accidentally hosed my existing build. Since it seems I have to start over, I wondered if I'd be able to avail myself of this excellent add-on in my new world.

Try this [WIP|1.7.10] EnetBridge 1.2

TD has been cleaning up the forum (with imer I guess).

I designed this based on that you don't have any (cheaty) way other than UU {and dungeon chests} to obtain iridium. Ignore MFR, quarry+ or anything else that may throw balance out of the window.

"no space in the GUI" haha, the GUI can always be slightly bigger.
Also for later reference, we could possibly use air (fluid) instead of cells.

Add that, better than a whole new machine n gui for that.

From what i know, the recent changes in IC2 energy net made GT machines simply explode. I bet you will have to use the battery method (enjoy making automation systems for that) and wait for a stable GT release. {You know that you're using the test version, aye?}

You can also focus on GT generators for power production.

Chocohead : Infinite energy that is outputed in high quantities come with a price, it's like GregTech Fusion reactor, infinite energy, but expensive.

Except that the time it would take to pay itself would be absurdly high, if compared to a GregTech's fusion reactor, which uses a waaay more advanced tech.

Hey, you're using green energy wind power, don't expect to swim in UUM using it (before i overengineer it of course :3).

RawCode: IC² is already complicated enough, those various windmills setups will give the player a decision of what will be the best cost/benefit, instead of the simply this one is better than is one that is better than this another one, thus lets make the best and completely ignore the rest.

You mean MUCH more than * 2 of Geo Generator, because it will create too many easy exploits making Lava that way. I bet you there will be at least one Mod that will create exploits with that.

I know one of those mods, as GregTech allows lava centrifuging for metals

Aside that, make it similar to what rawcode suggested.
Use the blast furnace, where you swap the iron for stone dust (that will up the heat cost from 1 to 50+) and obtain lava fluid in the end.

While you guys are still using the forum for such, make new posts, so the thread is updated and people can see it on the top.

Fine, will add that.
50% eff cause of weight, and does not wear down. Its the drawback for those who does not want to ever worry about maintenance again.

I'm here to just throw my ideas about the windmills and how it should work.

About material cost and individual energy production:

First, windmills should have 3 tiers, Basic, Advanced (like the induction furnace) and Industrial.
Tier 1 windmills are made with 1 basic machine casing, 2 iron shafts and 6 iron plates.
Tier 2 windmills are made with 1 advanced machine casing, 2 steel shafts and 6 dense steel plates.
Tier 3 windmills are made with 1 tier 2 windmill, 2 advanced alloy shafts and 6 (reinforced) iridium plates.

Rotors efficiency are as follows:
Wood: 15%
Iron: 60%
Steel: 80%
Carbon: 100%
Advanced Iridium Alloy: 50% (Adv Ir Alloy rotors last forever and does not wear down, but its weight reduces its efficiency)

Rotors, those should have variable sizes, for people's different needs (and avoid excessive spam of windmills for high power systems) :
Small Rotors are made with 4 blades and iron fence. These all occupy a space of a 3x3 square in the front of the windmill.
Small blades are made with 6 material + "glue" material
Wood: 6 plank and 3 sticky resin.
Iron: 6 iron plates and 3 iron fences.
Steel 6 steel plates and 3 iron fences
Carbon: 6 carbon plates and 3 steel plates.
Advanced Iridium Alloy: 6 advanced alloy plates, 2 carbon plates and 1 iridium plate.

Medium rotors are made with 4 medium blades and iron shaft. These can only be used on the tier 2 windmill. These occupy a 9x9 area.
Medium blades are made with 6 small medium blades.

Large rotors are made with 4 large blades and steel shaft. These can only be used on the tier 3 windmill. These occupy a 27x27 area.
Large blades are made with 6 medium blades.

Average Energy production at most efficient height using small rotors:
25 kU/t * rotor efficiency.

Average Energy production at most efficient height using medium rotors:
175 kU/t * rotor efficiency.

Average Energy production at most efficient height using large rotors:
1225 kU/t * rotor efficiency.

-----------------------------------------------

Now the obstruction windmill mechanics:

Windmills should not stop working if another windmill overlap its area (the ~32 block detection in the perpendicular axis, overlapping rotors of course should stop working), but instead reduce both windmills power production using this formula:


Energy generated = Overall (from the rotors n such above) * 0.995^X * 0.95^Y
X = number of obstructions of any kind other than windmills, Y = number of other windmills partially obstructing the wind.

Done, translated that to proper english: Bug Tracker Rules and Info

I think i can grammar check that...

Moved to Greg section.

but but but... trampolines are fun!

Although i can always place one above a nuclear reactor and play the mad scientist.

IMO trampolines should work regardless of size, as long there are air blocks below and has its sidss touching blocks/another rubber sheet.

Naquadah can be found on kirara3 as small ore. Thus a nq+ plate should be enough.
