I edited one to make it able to increase in heat very slowly. My design heats up extremely slowly, but works. If you replace the Plating with a coolant cell, it starts cooling, but slowly. You could heat it with lava buckets to make it run faster. Or just remove some of the air cooling.

Although, nargon made a better breeder. Here's the link of the reconstruction of the breeding mode in the reactor app.

Perhaps add a cycle speed setting, and a tick-number setting? So you can run it faster, or just jump to a specific tick. Also, later add an "Explosion Point" button that warps tells you the range on where your reactor can explode. If it's a MK I, then it will just say "Mark I"

And once you're done with that, make it say what MK it would be classified as.

Almost like waiting for IC2 SMP. Can't wait to be able to power my teleporter, mass fab, and machines with 2 large solar flowers.

Mind making a BC to IC2 energy converter that works both ways? OR, a BC engine that uses EU, and an IC2 Generator that uses PIPED ENERGY. Not regular energy, but PIPED. That way, redstone engines will not work to power them.

Hmm. Is the heat different than what the thermometer records? Because according to it, A nuclear reactor completely full of uranium, water cooled, 6 chambers, will explode in 4 ticks. While it actually takes like 16 ticks.

Idea- If you put a regulator output on a matching energy storage unit, it will output normally, but EXCESS power will be redirected to the other side. Like a mass fab.
Edit: Realized you could just put a regulator a block infront of your storage unit.

Wrong. It is balanced, but only with itself and vanilla mine-craft. You Cannot get free resources like that. Did you know glow-stone blocks are actually equally valuable as cobblestone? The issue arises when you combine two mods that allow abuse to occur, like industrialcraft, which is also balanced with itself and vanilla minecraft. Getting double ingots out of the Ores is fine, You can never turn em back into ores, so no way exists to get free materials with just industrialcraft. Now, If you add EE, you suddenly have a loop which you can use to cheaply create masses of resources, but that only is possible when you have both mods.

Equivalent exchange is not designed for balanced play with Industrialcraft, and vise verse.

Except for the IC2 patch. Which adds some recipe's, and does some balancing features, preventing infinite materials. However, you can get many materials far more cheaply. Like you can turn 4 glowstone into a diamond instead of 32. Or 16, nowadays.

As far as I know, the only new texture between 1.0 and 1.15 is the tin cable item texture.

There's also a difference in where the files are located.

I dont actually want something like the Ic1 force field generator. It was way too inflexible. This is far better already, aside from the lack of any way to project a field that protects the generator itself.

The generator is invincible while running.

Quote from BrickedKeyboard

Ok, so if this were an SMP mod, what exactly would the code do every tick?

Would it iterate over every single block in the wall or sphere to check if the block is missing, every tick, all the time? That is the reason the IC1 shield failed miserably. The algorithm is so inefficient it killed the fastest CPUs.

Or did you use a different method? Can the blocks that compose a force field be destroyed with a pick? Explosives? If the block is destroyed, how does your algorithm repair the missing blocks?

Second, so for applying damage you look for entities within a sphere near the shield generator and the ones that are close to the actual shield blocks are the ones that take the damage? How often do you do this check?

Reason I ask is that shields, especially ones that also do damage, are a crucial feature this mod needs for SMP. But it has to be implemented in an efficient manner or you will not be able to have more than 3 players on a server.

Alblaka explicitly stated in this post here that he is NOT working on a shield generator for IC2 because the algorithm he used is too inefficient. If you have an idea for a better algorithm, you should implement it. I detailed the pseudocode for one that IS efficient and would work even for many shields on a single server if you are interested. Or, if you open source your mod, I may take a crack at it this weekend.

Simple. Make it like bedrock. Immune to all explosives and can only be removed by the force field generator.

Quote from Thunderdark

Nice Idea but No... you can set usage to 1-2 Eu... if it is not worth just take stone

So in that case, this will still be around 10% the efficiency per block of the old IC1 force field.

Quote from Alblaka

To be exact, Chestplate redues all taken damage by 33% before the armor calculation is applied at all.

A whole suit is meant to protect you from damage, but i doubt it's yet working fully.
PS: Currently MCForge for some reason does not contain the necessary hook within the EntityPlayer file, thus the NanoSuit can't exactly be working (same for Quantum) and will be considered a normal MC armor.

As well, the idea of a "Nano Batpack" or anything related was denied due to the fact it would be plainly imba. Exspecially if you consider a Quantum Suit would provides 100 full charges for a normal tool with each single armor piece.

Perhaps being able to have the QSuit Chest have the ability to drain from portable energy storage systems in your inventory and add to tools/the quantum suit itself? Like if you had your inv. full of lapotrons, you could run for days without recharging. Slightly less imba that way. Although, perhaps not able to drain from lapo's. So its even less imba. But still able to recharge your fancy stuffs like that mining laser and drill.

Quote from KapukiCram

Why so complicated?

Just put wood into the compressor/singularity compressor --> coal ....?

...

profit!

Wait, whaaa?
You can compress logs into coal? I think thats a secret... If it even exists.

Quote from dezuman

And here we have the final proof that IC + EE is broken!
Really, looping around SCRAP with a profit is just silly

Amazing setup though, if I had the time I would probably get EE just to design shit like this

You forget the energy cost. Why not just use a Mass Fab?

Even though it was just for lolz, I kinda actually want it to work in 1.8

Quote from Ranakastrasz

I also think the power limit is a bit buggy, as it is limited to 512, even with multiple MFSUs hooked up, and reduced in the case of a branch as well. Also, if you have capacity, I think it ought to have a higher limit as well.
Also, the config does not seem to support fractional values, which I think it should, unless a technical difficulty does not allow that.

I believe a technical difficulty would not allow fractional values. BUT, you can have another value, Blocks Per EU calculation, so it would be EUs/Blocks Per.

Quote from Silent_Samurai

It already does :\ Burn the wood.

That just made me realize... This makes you able to get waaaay more energy per charcoal.

Definetly draw from the chestplate. At the moment hte Qsuit chest is EXACTLY THE SAME as the Nanosuit Chest, bar 10x the energy storage.

Quote from Vannya

Name:
Multi-task Work Canon

Describtion:
Just the same idea as the Mining Laser, but mounted in some static base, a cannon that could be pointed in any direction and "fired".
There are some modes around there that have items like this in some way, just like the Planes mode made by Flan. But the difference is the next:

The canons that already exists are only-weapon designed, and also they use no power, but bullets that you must have in your hand.
This different canon could use energy, work as the same way about maneuverability (turning capacieties and so), and like the Mining Laser (but stronger) too,... But with something more. Trough some plot about generating great static charges and using for levitate some objects, the canon could be capable of placing some blocks too (previously in hand, or into some slot of some GUI).

The use of this kind of canon could be the deffense of a place, the attack, the work in a quarry or so for long range and big scale mining, and also the building from some distance.
In this way, 4 canons, place in 4 sides of a construction, maybe they could make an entire house in just seconds (eating EU balls with the same size of the Sun).

This could be the best ever building tool, and give to the nuclear power and high tier energy production an use.

Recipe:

Where...:

: Some special Pipe or tube.
: Mining Laser
: Advanced Machine
: Empty Space
: a Personal Safe or a chest.
: An MFE or MFS
: A Tesla Coil

Also,... this kind of canon could be used later mounted in some vehicles (water, ground, or air). But at this starting point, it could be a really good deffensive/ofensive weapon, a good masive mining tool for long-while quarrys, and very good building tools. Also, the energy, if the canon is conected to some kind of big battery just like a MFS, will never lack (also de MFS conected to energy generators...).

1: would need an MFSU, not an MFE.
2: Alblaka already denied all weapon requests.
3: Buildcraft already has a fast builder.
4: This would take a freakin long time to code, and would you rather have this 1 thing or half of T4?

Quote from SteamEmpire

Its never enough power for me >:D

1 or 2 of T4 machines will drain MFSU's like nobody's buisness. NTM long-distance teleporters. (which really need to use less energy, they're useless, as teleporting someone with a full inv and all armor 600 blocks will cost a full 3kk EU. To travel that in a quantumsuit would take like less than a minute and take only like 10k EU.)
