    What do you mean with "same thing, different wording"?
    The helmet wouldn't actually light up the area, it would just make it look brighter for the person wearing the goggles. Like the brightness slider in the video settings menu.

    The helmet CAN'T light the area because of limitations of the mc engine.

    HUD tied to the helmet and trigger that occurs when player wears X item its basically the same shet. Read properly next time plox.

    New ores will fit into new machines, as people suggests machines and other stuff.
    And into some recipes as a substitute
    so why not adding them now, than never?
    deep underground is an idea to add more caves,ores, and a unknown world full of surprises to explore.

    And, really, I could never read a positive reply from you FenixR. You are really an asshole :P

    You got the chain of development wrong, first you devise the uses of the ore, then you insert it. "It might be useful" isnt a valid reason to add something new.

    And i didnt get that title for nothing, and being a asshole or a saint doesnt change my logic, only the way i decide to dress it.

    There were a few ideas for new ores. Few, but valid.
    Those new ores could get more uses as time goes.

    An example is Tungsten ore from RP2, it is nearly useless now, later it may have some, or lots of uses.

    I knew you would use that example, let me break your cloud in there:

    Eloraam have planned every single feature that it will come from this PR4 to the official release, that includes the uses for the 3 gems, silver, tugnsten and similars. She decided to add those ores earlier so people didnt had to make new worlds with the official release.

    So no, she did not simply say "Oh im gonna add this useless ore, and maybe with some time a few uses will come to me", she must have said something along the lines of "Im gonna add this ore right now because i know what im going to use it for in the future".

    The IC2 dev team DOESN'T need new ores ideas, they need new machines and similar ideas and if necessary new ores could be made to make the recipes of those new machine on similar ideas.

    That's the ONLY point, why EE is cheating. You can make EVERYTHING out of EVERYTHING. The magic stuff is pretty cool if you could get that without Transmuting but with normal work (extreme-mining).

    The only thing EE does is making the process easier, instead of looking for the particular mineral you need (Which you can find anywhere and everywhere), you can grab anything you have in hand and make that particular mineral (If you already registered it before hand).

    And how the fuck did this became a EE complaint?

    1)Okay, that makes sense. For 2 though, I was already under the impression that moving light was impossible, but wouldn't it be possible to make the game brighter than what is available in the /options/video settings/ menu?

    2)And the HUD wouldn't necessarily need to be attached to the helmet, but more of a trigger that occurs when the player wears item x.

    3)Of coarse, I'm talking out of my ass here, but possibly useful?

    1) I remember hearing al about doing that, but that also requires the same unexistant forge hook that i talked about.

    2) Same thing, different wording.

    3) Dont do that, inform yourself a little before "Talking out of your ass", that usually only accomplish making you look like a potato. (Stupid joke, nvm)

    1) Forge doesnt have Hooks to attach HUD into a Helmet (Yet, mostly because it isnt suggested or something)
    2) NO TO THE MOVING LIGHT, minecraft engine limitation that the IC2 Dev team WON'T solve.
    3) For making this, the IC2 dev team would actually have to make a map system for it, dunno if they are willing to do that.
    4) Highlight may or may not be possible, dont have much knowleadge of similar systems.

    (Also before someone say something stupid like X-ray vision, NO)

    PM sent. back to the OP: :D i would greatly appriciate a incredibly large mobile storage device to store and relocate large ammount of power in for much later use, even if it requires something as rediculous as 8 iridium plates and a Lapotron Crystal. at the point that i would need a 100 mill EU stoarge unit would be the point that i don;t really need to worry about the resources. so make it as expensive as you wish within reason.

    We already had this talk of the futulity of a 4tier of energy storage.

    You can always use that new Wireless MFSU that pawnedgod cooked.

    (For the record, Expensive recipes does jackshit for balance in minecraft were every single resource its highly renewable. The only purpose of Expensive recipes is so people dont make those things 3 minutes after they start a brand new world)

    perhaps use silver as a new and more usefull EV wire that needs insulation and is better then fiber glass wire? make the silver as rare as diamonds but needs 3 silver ingots to make a wire. bot sure how much re-balancing would be needed.

    I ask you, is it really necessary?

    How many situations will you find that you need to use EV? I'll tell you, only 1, From your extremely efficient Nuclear reactor to either:

    A) A EV-HV Transformer or
    B) MFSU

    And there, no more EV for a good while.

    We already have enough cables to last us for a lifetime, and before we start talking about distance efficiency, we need to think that after 5 or so chunks those cable and their power sources will most likely unload or work incorrectly.

    Since silver has the highest electrical conductivity in reality, you should be able to make a nice cable of it. Maybe a MV or HV cable with a relatively low energyloss, for example 1 EU per 10 or 15 blocks, if uninsulated and capable of getting up to 3 layers of insulation resulting in lower losses.

    This is the reason why you get 6 Glass Fiber instead of 4 when you use the silver recipe.
