Anyone bored, and want to help with designing/ testing a modpack? a base build is ready for testing, but it is open to additions and subtractions, along with recipe balance. Interested?
(Note, recommended 4GB ram dedicated to Java)

sure, why not?

How about a laser to transform large quantities of electricity into heat and "transport" them? It could also be used to power high-end machine, for example in material processing, uranium enrichment or to start up a fusion reactor?

well, the laser initiated fusion reactor would obviously use lasers to initiate the fusion, while tocamac reactors use microwaves I think. also, the laser would lose power in the atmosphere, especially when it is really high powered. how about a vacuum tube you run a laser through, though, for lossless heat transport?

maybe something blasted away the ozone layer, and the radiation from the sun is the problem. in that case, the radiation would only appear in the day, when you have line of sight with the sun.

I finally bought minecraft. I should have done after Alpha, when it was priced around 5$, not now with 25$ price tag.

So, hi. Greg, how ure doing?

So, now the boring part. I myself found, that after rushing through Gregtech and Ic2 and somewhere near the fusion stuff, I find myself pretty broken. Not the first time already. Why would I want to go further? Really strong points before - were to get into highest tier of processing. Fast ore macerating, siphoning, mass produce something, build some brain-scratching multiblock stuff, get some really cool tools. But after that is mostly done - I feel like I have completed the game and I have nowhere to go and really nothing to do, maybe some gold ocean swimming or stuff like that. I ve done fusion several times to discover that I really dont need it for both power and resource generating - it doesnt change my gameplay in any way sighnificant, compared to, for example, getting steel.
I have no real suggestions for this one (and I play GT5 if that matters), but really. GT probably need some Super Sayan God and Super Sayan God Super Sayan level stuff and more of this stuff. so it wouldnt feel like I waste time on fusion to get item 1,2,3 and thats it.

No, I really mean that I like climbing to the top process, but gregtech is so strongly focused on getting to the top, that when you are there you feel like there is nothing more to do, you can close the game and do something else

there is a reason most games are about contest of some kind or the other.

Iok for that with only one condition : This fusion reactor won't be an infinite one like the usual one, with parts slowly breaking over time due to violent burst of heat.

It will also require constant maintenance and some RNG for occasionnal parts failing and causing accidents ( breaks some blocks ).
This would ofc be lowered with a control main computer

It should also be named Prototype fusion reactor

it's not a prototype. it's a different type of reactor. if you need a lot of energy from time to time, but not a consistent stream, the design I proposed is better. if you want a consistent flow of energy, take a tocamac. say, for running your machines, you could use a (small) inertial reactor - or a bigger one if we get really high end machines that actually use a lot of power, and maybe for running your magnificent monster of a base, automated processing, etc, you use a tocamac design. at the same time, fusion reactors should be so expensive that you really want them to just cut it (assuming they are going to be modular, which I think they will be). also, it would be cool (and make more sense) that, instead of weird energy crystal thingies, we have nuclear fission/fusion batteries, plus a very good (but not good enough to operate your quantum suit and tools off it) battery for a a kind of laser initiated fusion reactor in battery format. this would also allow for a kind of modular system for batteries, as you'd need cooling, a energy storage/fission battery to provide energy to start up your fusion one, etc.

But it's not needed!
Gregtech is mod which we all love for it's realism and challenging tasks.
Gregtech is mod which can be played by itself - there no need in additionals.
So why support fantasy mods?

because a) greg wants to, and b), because quite a few people like to play with other mods, too, at the same time.

Stop schrodinging Choco

*schroedingering. the guy is called schroedinger.

once you tick it, a wobbly word test appears(or should, at least).

tweak what?

maybe what he means is a fusion reactor without the rest of gregtech changing the gameplay.

building automated contraptions. those aren't just flat surfaces of the same block type after all.

What? "Ich liebe Kapitalismus" is german for "I love capitalism".

I don't get it either, but it is probably some kind of reference to the game franchise.

ah. didn't even know that didn't exist. I guess I should actually play minecraft once in a while..

what am I looking at? apart from a canning machine recipe?

12 in and 12 out? 24 slots in total? What are you planning Greg? For what will we need so many slots?

DUN DUN DUUUUN

no, seriously, apparently he has planned some really complex sh*t XD or he just allows people using his API to do insane things.

Double extender. A thing extends from the block, which is 0.5m tall, another thing extends from this thing, which is 0.75m tall. Success! Also would look cool visually, especially if you add the *ding* sound on the impact.

or just make the hammer 2 blocks tall. I'm not at all an expert, but I don't think it's easy to get a lot of power behind that double extender thingy.

just out of curiosity, why do your rocks use 7 IDs each?

and the screen would be red.

EDIT: I'm currently trying to figure out the length of both cathetuses? catheti? of a triangle based on it's angles and the length of the hypotenuse(in a program), and failing. any ideas?

are they aggroed?

Aroma1997 got "Achievement get generalized: Post something in the wrong place on the forums."

I know it's a joke, but this is for in game achievements.
