    Nano bow is a bad name.
    How about Composite Bow for increased range/speed/damage ?
    Or Machine-Bow which send arrows like machine-gun using EU.

    I do not program for MC, but see many problems considering placing/destroying/moving_by_piston_or_frame when in use.


    Big blocks like in Railcraft would not help probably.


    Expandable EU storage is always wanted of course. I think it should not show current charge stored, only percentage value. But if search for connected blocks will be on each charge/discharge it can be laggy, else buggy. Also for balance purposes some EU loss needed.

    Hello! I'm here just to post this text. It's the list of items I'd like to see in IC2 to complete my spaceship. I hope you'd like at least one of my ideas, even if they were posted before.

    Let me suggest something too ;)

    1) Lightbulb

    Lightning rod, yea ;)
    When present in inventory under open sky make it rain.
    When under rain, make it thunderstorm.
    When under storm, make lightning fires at player.
    When lightning come fully charge up all batteries, armor, tools, anything up to sonic screwdriver; player still dead.

    2) What about new types of wrenches?

    Yes, we need it different! Let us color a wrench to make it better. Some wrench should be used to turn some machine to north, some - to open nuclear reactor, some - to dig dirt in hope to find lost long ago :Wrench:

    3) Switch

    It's so hard to place RS wiring right, we should change mining laser behavior. If laser shoot button or lever, block do not destroyed, but switched as manually.

    4) Quantum transmitter

    Yes, hand held tool to send EU in the desired direction. You can send as much as you want. Reciever not needed though.

    Quote

    5) Quantum generator

    Oh that transdimensional thing! It adsorb EU from anything around: cables, batteries, machines, even your quantum suit. Where those EU transfered to still unknown.

    6) Quantum sword

    As most of us know quantum effect it is never known, which side this sword would damage. Also at which time it would decide to be in which inventory or hands. Quantum behavior is so unpredictable.

    7) Quantum bomb

    But this one should be predictable to the maximum. It store person, who place it, and jump in it's inventory when blown.


    Want more?

    2. Magnetizer? Why not. Let it attract all minecarts too. Or just lava flow. But we need a way to descend on empty beach too. [Mouse click] with [Jump] pressed - descend on block pointed, [Jump] without mouse click - jump on top. Player should be able to jump up in the middle to fly on jetpack or dive with Q-suit.


    4. Not more or less particles - it should be laggy. Just size of periodic steam sprites. Or opaqueness.

    thought about it like that but then there would be all this stuff about which boat goes with which retriever? and is that possible code wise? if the devs want it that way its not like i can stop them but i think the way in the OP is the simplest way to pull it off

    No doubt it possible. Inyour way you need two slots when not use it. Let devs decide.

    exiting is something i didn't consider to simplest way is just to say it gives temporary fireproofness for like 10 seconds but how do you explain that? your idea is good to but even with it accidents will be common. I GOT IT! have the Integrated Heat Dispensers turn the lava into a 3x3 cobble platform when you exit that way you can jump safely.

    So each time you exit you lose part of surface? Do not like it. Let player jump on top of vehicle before jump to beach. If no beach player can enter vehicle again.

    first its a boat that is propelling you through molten ROCK I don't think high speed is an option and second its a boat if it was a lava submarine then we can slap some iridium on there

    Do not need high speed on lava, but when on water (or other if would be) let speed be increased. At least water is easier to swim. Or should it sink? No.

    Quote

    CiderCraft while the boat does need to be charged its still just a boat so i was planning for it to be able to hold a charge for a few day of constant use there is no way to add a hud and people can't have the gui open to monitor coolant at the same time as driving. try to think more user friendly

    Let player see intensiveness of steam clouds ejected. Easy visible without gui.

    Change place/retrieve mech:
    Placing Vehicle leave Retriever in inventory. Using Retriever on Vehicle pick it up to inventory slot, used by Retriever.
    This way you will always have slot available and Vehicle can be unbreakable.


    To get out of Vehicle use Jump to jump on top of it. Vehicle still stay and keep your weight, waiting for you to jump to beach and retrieve it.


    Should it spend energy to high speed? No Iridium in recipe?
