how so? it is a GT suggestion, so it belongs here(and, btw, GT should really get a forum secttion for suggestions)

EDIT: and it was posted here the first time anyway.

EDIT II.:

He also likes oil and liquids as much as we all do- but oil rarely gets used. We did use it a bit in the start, but our bio-steam plant replaced that need entirely, why not use oil as in real world in CSP power production? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

That sounds a bit like rotary craft's solar power, which also melts sand and cobble to glas/lava when you have to many mirrors around the tower, might be a nice idea to have in the GT version as well(without the lava, that would be OP).

sounds like it, and if this gets added, one could maybe add extra damage to targets wearing armor out of a conductiong metal.

For me, playing together with others is a way to give away work i do not like to do.
I'm usally mine enough ores for 3 bases in a few days and set up the gregtech machines.

But gathering food, Thaumcraft, Crops and building nice looking bases was mostly left to others.

And i did bees because no one else did.

If it's really just a single base, 4 players including me whould be the most, because with more there whould be not much left to do per player.
But, should we get 6 or more interested players, i whould suggest to make multible bases close to each other. x teams of 3 players building within a few hundred blocks. Sharing machines&resources. I would be fine to gather material for others, as long they turn them into a nice looking town.

well, i could do the Thaumcraft stuff, and i can build semi-nice looking buildings(like, they look acceptable, but they aren't like, very good), and i REALLY would like to team with somebody.

did that 3-4 count you in, Blood Asp? because joining a team might actually get me back to minecraft before i get an internet connection where mobs don't freeze for 10 seconds, and then freeze somewhere nearby, and then do it again, and again, until i actually manage to hit them.

now that i think about it.. we should really leave the details to the devs.

I remember havin seen a report about the US producing Pu-238 again a few years ago, so i guess it exists. Also, if you shoot a proton at U-238 and then knock a neutron away, you have Pu-238.

also, this suggestion might fit into GT, as well.

it would be a way of making the suggestion useful that went through my head, and it might not fit very well, but yes. I have no idea what, though.

also, IV was once called QEV, I think.

you are not the right from speaking french here? that sounds weird..

how much work it would be depends upon the way current storage blocks work, when you just have storage block code with parameters for capacity, discharge rate, voltage, name, ID and so on, then you just need to replicate the code and add the paramters, and the rest is really only thinking about combinations and the hash function. Anyway, there might be people who want IC(not IC1, the general IC) with more complexity, but not GT grade complexity, and there might be server owners who want some extra challenge for the players. Although if it is optional, then it could be an add-on as well. Also I would think that you could simply make the possible results better than usual storage blocks, maybe allowing QEV(Quad Extreme Voltage), and ading some machine that uses it. basically, it either becomes an add-on or becomes something you have to do in orer to progress to some upper tiers or something like that.

If this suggestion breaks tech tree progression depends solely on details. if you need some machines to get better components, then you can adapt it prefectly to the tech tree, but you still don't always have the same capabilities. I am getting the impression that you just don't want to really think about this, Chocohead

Quote from Chocohead

What you're describing doesn't sound that fun at all, it's basically IC2's Crop breeding mechanic but for batteries. The horrible randomness sounds even more frustrating than outright hardness gameplay wise.

it is totally NOT like ic² cropbreeding, cropbreeding gets you a random result every time you breed, this is(in one world, anyway) with the same components always the same, so one combination in one world gets always the same storage medium quality.

but maybe something like "storage casings" with different tiers could be added

The basic idea here is to get rid of hardcoded-tiering

Make tiering more dynamic... let game rate a tier for every single thing you have discovered..

that#s what i meant, sorry if that was unclear.

well, the idea behind TConstruc is (in my opinion) not bad, only the way it is done in TConstruct is OP. and if you add the seed of the world to the hash function, you can make it different for every world so that you actually have to do some real research, which would be kinda cool in my opinion.

i guess he didn't write his suggestion down completely, but referred to a non-posted part of it in his post. i think he suggests some kind of storage medium item which is created by mixing several possible materials for several components(maybe depending of the way the medium stores energy), like being able to combine nickel and cadmium into a battery, but also all the other things you can use to make batteries i don't remember right now, not necessarily in the combinations used in RL, and every choice impacts the performance of the medium somehow(it might end up with either 3 or 4 components with this "hash-function" thingy, 3 if you can make different ways of storing energy(like batteries and flywheels), that would use one of the 4 values to determine the way of storing the energy.

well, that explains everything. not.

this sounds cool, but maybe something like "storage casings" with different tiers could be added, which take the energy storage items, but they are limited in efficiency and discharge rate (and maybe degrade dactor?) due to the wire you use to get energy out of them, basically tier 1: tin wire, efficiency equals cable loss of tin wire when energy losses get reimplemented, discharge rate 32 eu/tick, tier 2 would use copper wire and would have an efficiency that equals the currently not existing cable loss of copper wire, a discharge rate of 128eu/tick(MV), tier 3 would use gold wire, and so on up to glassfibre cable. Another idea would be to make "storage casing" where you can insert both wire and storage mediium, and would otherwise be the same.

i don't get what is so funny about it

I don't know how fast black holes disappear, fact is, if you compress a football inot something smaller than its schwarzschild radius(hope i got the name right), it still only has the potential energy of a football, so that it CAN suck in everything, but only in a super tiny space around it. at least that is how i understand it, i don't have a degree of any kind(actually i'm still in school).

I don't wonder if master801 will get an email and get annoyed, at least i don't really wonder if Master801 will get an email, and I'm pretty sure it will be by..
it is a mystery..
xbony2! that was really hard to guess(not)!

I wonder if the forum game in the offtopic section is dead.
I wonder when i will learn typing again.(quick and without a lot of mistakes, that is)

Haven't seen this before, but reinstalling GT *might* help, i have no idea what the error is, so i can only guess.

HAYO? SORTA? THIS IS HOWQ YOU SAY HAYO
