    Loving the mobile autominer, when I get the time I'm gonna make a fleet of them and set them loose on the world (bwahahaha). A few thoughts occurred to me while playing with the miner though: 1. would it be possible for the owner of the miner to get a notification when it's out of power/full? Checking up on these guys when they've flown far away can get to be a hassle, though the finder remote thingy helps alot. 2. This one is probably a stretch, but would a weaponized version of the miner be feasible? I guess the simplest way would be to give it a tesla coil or something like that instead of a drill. I can definitely see the little mobile miner being the granddady of a suite of different robots if the mod is so inclined.
    Awesome mod, hope to see it continue to greater awesomeness.


    Hey, weren't you the one who made that lightning rod suggestion? Thanks for inciting Alalkba to make an awesome quote? Dang, still can spell Alakabla.

    Lol probably, live and learn, I guess.


    edit: character spacing looked wierd

    Hello all. What do you guys think of a lightning rod as a source of power? My idea is that whenever there is a thunderstorm in the chunk that the rod is in, the lightning would be redirected to the rod, providing a decent jolt of extreme voltage (not sure how much exactly, but its lightning, so I would think enough to give an msf unit a decent charge). Suggestions for the recipe are welcome, I'm a bit of a minecraft noob so I don't know where to even begin with a balanced recipe. The pros for such a design would be a more or less set up and forget power source that provides substantial energy and more reason to make use of hv transformers in smaller bases, the cons being that it is a sporadic source of power and would require a system capable of converting and storing the extreme voltage safely. Now if only there was a weather machine to increase the likelyhood of a storm...
