It's basically the same type of set-up as BC, that you're suggesting.

While it does work- it's not something you change in the middle (assuming Al isn't out of idea's yet) of such a well developed mod.

I would honestly drop IC2 if it was changed to work more like BC power. Just isn't right for this type of mod, this far along.

(Me and FenixR are agreeing on something. o.o)

(Also heard someone was trying to make a type of energy storage thing for BC. I think it's the same guy who made the BC Reactor that can power 20+ refineries at once.)

You probably need a HV Transformer between them...

MFSU's can only accept 512EU from one packet.

Was actually thinking about the whole 'Volts and Amps' thing Eloraam has going on with Bluetricity. (Blutricity?)

Although, you could argue that you can hold onto some BC energy, simply because of tanks and engines themselves holding Oil/Fuel. More-so if you use those new Logic Gates Spacetoad added.

But we are getting a bit side-tracked. There's no point in over complicating IC2's EU system, other then to frustrate people.

From what I've seen, you'll probably be told to download the Thermometer Add-on regardless.

Dunno if they'll ever add it.

HV-Solar Arrays.

It's the only thing I use. (Well, and MV and LV ones...)

Ironically, buildcraft Energy system its the closest thing to electricity physics.

That could be argued. Bluetricity is fairly realistic.

But there is a reason real life electricity isn't in Minecraft- Because there's a dirt block floating in the air.

I'm still wondering where it says 'EUs' are exactly like 'real life electricity'.

Considering the cost, Water Mills are actually better then Solar Panels- when ignoring the possibility of automation. (Assuming you set them up with 100% efficiency. With automation, they're practically the best... Al may change it still, but he does like his RP2 automation.)

Suggestion: Everyone who suggests Lightning Rods are banned. Forever.

I was thinking... Can you make it possible for the slots on the right hand side of for example the Extractor so the Sticky Resins will automatically be sucked into and made into Rubber? The Macerator can for example suck different ores and such and make them to dust. Can you make this happen? Please?

If the macerator is pulling ores from the right 4 slots automatically, that's a bug. Those slots are for upgrades only.

The nether and the end are usually considered balloney in a similar manner as enchantments (recently removed) and potion system.

Besides i think it is possible to find a stronghold on old worlds, you just need to travel far enough to chunks you have never have loaded and pray that a stronghold its nearby. Alternatively you could NEI the portal frame blocks and make your portal (Although if you destroy the frame blocks after you made the portal, the portal itself will still be there and you cant place anything in there).

Strongholds only spawn within a certain radius of the spawn point on the world.

At least, that's what I've found out, and my server has been saying when making worlds.

Hmmm maybe the terraformer should change the Biome (in 1.2 with the new Biome saving system this should be possible)?

I have a feeling that would require base class editing.

Then again... I have a feeling all mods will have to be rewritten to work with 1.2.

The basic Energy-O-Mat should be implemented in some way. There is wierd servers who used it.

I can't see why they would, but they do.

Better Trade-O-Mat, imo. Would be nice to set up large trading shops that are easy to use.

Quote from FenixR

Ehhhh Energy o mat isnt in IC2 yet, i remember al speaking about a rework of that thingy.

Something about the whole 'set target'\gui\blablabla- that was annoying to code.

While that's true, it's a rare thing. The only servers I know that won't suffer from it would be IR, or small servers of just friends.

Quote from FenixR

That fighting would certainly be... entertaining, considering the PvP expansion al is preparing, it should make for interesting situations.

PVP on an IC2 server is either totally unfair, or totally nothing.

Totally unfair: Join the game, get raped every respawn as someone is so far ahead of you.

Totally nothing: Basically how the world is today. Everyone has Nukes, but no one wants to use them, so no one does anything to make anyone else angry.

Granted, that's not a design flaw of the game, or the mod itself... That's humans. They'll demand everything, and 'Nuke' what they don't get.

I don't see the point in this- It would only lead to people fighting on SMP for 'better lots', or hoarding entire deserts to themselves to sell to other players for insane prices.

That, and Solar Panels already benefit from being in a Desert, as it does not rain there.

Changing the Water Mill was already on Al's list. (It's been a running joke since it came out, apparently... So he probably has a good idea to make up for it.)

I'm assuming Bukkit does that. It does a lot of things, apparently.

Anyways, I'll stop bugging you- Except, will you be doing a server with EE at any point? CPW just 'Bukkited' it recently, and you had a Let's Play on it at one point, so I was curious.

the tesla-coil uses 2 EU/t

Only while on, so it's even better if you have a way to activate it automatically, or even manually.
