i'm think what the implications would be for smp what if your neighbor doesn't give a crap about his pollution cause he is a rich donater and can teleport to his beautiful jungle retreat while he pumps his sewage into you back yard
Its a feature!
Or should i say Real life? Besides if someone did something like that in my back yard i would totally nuke that shit, fuck him if its going to fuck me.
Inb4 someone comes and suggest a fucking config file for it.
The idea its a man made Biome as a consequence of using too many polluting machines (The more machines of these kind you use, the more pollution), pollution can be avoided by not building too many of these or simply placing these far away from your main base. Kinda like the Taint its working in thaumcraft, too much and it becomes a shithole, too little and you barely notice it.
Hmm...
Now the question remains who will put the rebar suggestion up first.
<.<
>.>
*sprints off, shouting* It was my idea first!
Rebar for what? (looks at railcraft)
Quite honestly listing the number of BAD things that could happen making something like this, i can find it more easy to code something that would kick people from the server if they spend more than X hours afk while not being in a Bed or somewhere similar.
Its just a simple rule that i dont think should be difficult to abide/enforce.
Pretty much, reworking the poor mushroom biome was bad enough adding a way to "Farm" uranium killed the idea.
The idea its to only add drawbacks not beneficts of any kind.
I know jackshit about bed funtions in SMP, but would it not be more easier to force (You are the admin right?) All player that if they are going to AFK they must do so in a Bed otherwise you will kick their arses out? (Have some balls)
Display More*facepalm* re-read the above post.
Thesis on World and Mind Altering Mechanical Units
Many people wonder to this day if it is possible to scientifically change the time of Day on a planet. i believe this is possible with the innovation of several machines but i will merely propose 2 innovations on the matter at hand. both of which being feasable, specially the smaller the world is for one of these wonderful machines. first of which is a World Accelerating Turbine Styled Engine, and second of which is a Solar Operated Mind Stasus Emitter. these will be described in the following paragraphs.
The World Accelerating Turbine Engine, always know as a WATE Unit is a power device that resembles much of what you would assume a Jet Engine to look like, this device uses Millions of Watts to force enough air through its blades at such a velocity that it causes the planet to spin within it's own atmosphere. it then reverts directions after a very brief period to slow the world back down to its original and natural planetary rotation. this device could be very possible after significant amount of Research and Development.
The Solar Operated Mind Status Emitter, also know as a SOME (pronouced: soe mee) is a powerful and mechanical device that emits high ammount of radio and energy waves to interupt the human mental thought process causing temporarly unconciously. the individual have little to no recollection of the event apart from waking up on the ground, Much like to the movie known as Dark City. this device's operation is halted by a tiny Photo-Optic Cell that detects solar energy causing it to shut off during the day. once night time approaches the photo-optic cell halts the machines internal singal causing the emmiter to transmit the frequency again each night.
I believe that both of these machines are very possible in our current world when given a significant amount of thought and consideration about their justful applications and hope to see these become usefull and worth while innovation to better advance our industrial world.
Man i really need to be careful with those "/Joke" tags.
(Must resist urges to make fun of tesis......................................... Damn)
Damn i forgot the /joke tag, otherwise you people take me too srsly 
Also its obvious steve its a Super engineer of some kind and that crafting table its even more well equipped that what we can see. /JOKE
Oh really? Scientific? I would love to read the whole tesis on how to achieve the world to rotate at a accelerated speed at the whim of a single machine.
Also EE has been recently ported to SMP iirc.
Probably because of the fact that people can see the resourcefulness of such things, and find uncommon applications for them...
See the slightly related topic of how waste can become fuel for power ...
But I doubt the devs will lean toward implementing a biome altering feature just yet. Would like to point out, though, that the new Thaumcraft 2 has a similar feature with "Taint " as a form of 'magical pollution', which proves that such features can be integrated into the mod if it were decided to do so...
A lot of things can be implemented in minecraft, its just a matter of creativity, time and the right hooks in forge. (Maybe im missing a few things but thats the important ones)
Thaumic Generator = matter (and mob souls) to EU/BT/BC conversion = kinda unbalanced IMO.
Meh, i usually dont bother with any other kind of generator but Petrochemical from the Crossover Mod and The Biofuel Generator from forestry. Its kinda like having a Geothermal but with resources you can actually make yourself (The forestry one).
Ergo why its called WASTE, something useless and that nobody actually wants. You people get hung up on the weirdest things O.o
Wait downgrade?
Afaik there are supposed to turn straight into machine blocks unless that was changed recently?
well hold on, while that may seem logical, but maybe some variations of breeder reactor take advantage of the heat still being given off by the rods?
If a material were still "Wanted or Useful" it would not be called a "waste" dont you think so?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but can't some nuclear reactors actually use their own nuclear waste?
The word "Waste" should give you enough clues to answer your own question.
You can create a three post tesis on the idea if you like, the devs may read it all, but that doesnt mean they will implement it EXACTLY how you described it.
(Oil fire? Da fu)
Anyway, if you want real pollution you need to add some blocks of some sort, let the devs decide how much work they decide to do IF they even bothering doing it, this is the suggestion forum after all, not the "Ideas we will totally follow from the a to z without caring how much time we lose in this shit of idea or how much effort we have to apply to make it happen". (Point in case, i remember alblaka talking about how he simply ignores the recipes that people throw around like it was candy in most suggestion threads)
Or just make a brand new Biome for it, common remember that anvil patch making biome modifications feasible? Also Mycellium (Which allows Mushrooms to grow in daylight) != Pollution.
there changed it are you half-happy now?
Its still stupid, the fact that you changed it just proved it was indeed stupid so the jokes on you. /damn you offtopic comments because i dont have anything productive to say after this phrase...
