Fun fact: If there were no Azote in the air, lighting a match would result in the entire Earth setting on fire. Barbecues taken to a whole new level.

I don't think so. Because of the lack of C combined with the fact the combustion of carbon isn't "natural", because it needs more energy than 20°C (because temperature =kinetic energy of particles and each reaction need a minimum amount of kinetic (mostly) to ignite.
Fun fact: Game-related forums probably belong to the rares one where you can speak about Science without boring anyone (Ok, almost everyone is bored there, but we're like 3 continuing argueing on it ^^)

Quote from GregoriusT

Are you sure Gamma is Ionizing? I mean, it's pure Energy and not consisting of Electrons or Protons.

everything is ionizing. Some have lower chance to ionize, higher chance to make an atom to split ... this is a bit hard to explain, but, I'd say, Gamma+Alpha+Beta+some rare others are FROM RADIOACTIVITY (and nuclear reactions)
And Greg, you shouldn't tell like that you're not a physician xD. What you said is the same thing as "a ball made of iron can't change how high is water in a bowl because it's not water"
Just look at basic Quantum Physic, and "states of energy".

Quote from Requia

Bronze age bronze is also stronger than iron age iron. Iron displaced bronze because you don't need two different metals to make it, not because it was very good.

More like because Bronze was heavier, way too much for weapons/tools.

And Greg, who's "MatPat" ? Guess why I ask lol.

Quote from Barumann

The external cooling was, well, kinda cool. I'd like to see it come back, even if its only minor.

Disagreed.

Quote from Barumann

the second thing is cooling cells - they are both ridiculously pricey and they are not remotely useful. under normal circumstances no design uses them, which is a shame.

Agreed. Why not making steam to water (RC) cooling down coolants cells ? Something like 6Heat/tick would be nice, with a 20H/t absorption, so they'd be useful, Nuclear would be less UP and RC would worth it, even while consuming steel

Quote from GregoriusT

How do you get refined Uranium without Compressor? And yeah, I was about to say, that my Tech Tree should also be displayed.

Agreed, there are some other things that don't fit with the game, but I like it, it's a nice tree

Quote from Ars Techne

Even in my Single player map, I have given up on the idea that an automated farm would be worth it as it cant be left to work without apatite. Red Power 2 on the other hand, made a tree farm using frames and mores that generated a 2-3 stacks of wood every 8 minutes for about the same cost and never needs attending to (other than some issues with rp2 timers being linked to the mc world time causing interruptions in the process)

I'm currently planning to set that up on PvP lol. Is it efficient ? Does it worth it, compared with some greengens ?
At least, one of the not-cool point with Forestry, is the fact Sapplings'll give you more EU with Forestry-machines than IC² Biofuel

Quote from Requia

Do you mean a reactor component? So it'll function like a reactor heat vent but pass heat to the pan?

Yup. So that wouldn't be OP at all. Just fun

As it would mean in english (from Napoleon lol): "A nice picture worth more than a long talk" (just to point out your mistake about light xD)
As for the topic, I'm thinking we would need Steam with Nuclear Reactors, but for non-RC users, or those that don't want to spend Steel on Turbines, we could make Reactor output steam if water is in, EU if not, with more efficiency for steam, as it's more annoying to deal with Turbines [By the way, what about making Water COOLING DOWN COOLANT CELLS, to make the game more realistic, make coolants cells useful and Nuclear-to-steam even cooler (what a pun xD)], and EU if you're not pumping water in. And if for some reason it's easier to code, then just make 2 differents Reactor.

Quote from SpwnX

Creative mode, he made a non-efficient prototype.

And, it looked nicer

Quote from SteveofDoom

The crash can happen like 1 minute after loading the world to 5 minutes after loading the world.

I had the same one, but didn't know it could be related with that mod. Are you sure it is ?

Quote from LostCoder

I know, that's why i make a cooking pan and not nuclear furnace, it is limited to food items, they are not so many and therefore not op. There is no troubles to code mathematic model, I just not good at balancing things. One of idea was to make it actually consume heat from reactor, but again I'm not sure about numbers because it may lead to overcooling reactor.

Make a special copper-based plate than take heat from the reactor and allows cooking with ? With something like 4 Heat per plate, that wouldn't be OP.

Quote from Eliav24

- and if all else fails- just make an item that "burns" in a generator for a long long time...

Yup, or a SU-battery like, something like 50 000 EU (or 5% of the efficiency it should have in a Nuclear Reactor, as Nuclear based-battery have often something between 4 and 7 % efficency compared to Reactor, but they work with Isotope unusable in Nuclear Reactor so ... Near Depleted Isotope Cells ? As of Output-issues, just make it working only in BatBox, or Generator/(Geo)Thermal Generator ?

Quote from SirusKing

The 4 current forms of radiation only cover 2 EM Waves, Gamma and Microwaves, the other 2 are Alpha and Beta particles, which arent EM Waves.

I agreed with the rest, but ... WHAT ?
Alpha and Beta aren't EM, right, there are He-Nucleus and Electron-Positron. But, apart from Gamma and Microwaves ... waves used for radio are radiations. Light is radiation (I mean the one you can see). Unless I'm mistaking because of some english terms, Microwaves mean "lower frequency than Infra Reds" (and higher than some others, but we don't care), and Gamma is "Higher than X-ray" ... so there are still plenthy of radiations between [and I'm only talking of light]
Especially assuming that, according to Quantum Physic, every single body has a wave-function, which means everything is a radiation ... (even if we don't care for something like a human, a planet or a car, but that means Neutrons are radiations, even if you don't use to call these like that).

As for new machine, Molten Salt reactors could be (GT here ... ^^), but these wouldn't be as fun (as the only thing that act on their efficiency is the concentration of Thorium in).

Quote from SegFaulter

Thank you Snyke, for making this awesome addon. We will never have to rely on the inefficient GregTech Diesel Generator to make EU in a cool industrial way other than nuclear power, nor will we ever have to use the powerwasters-mod that dumps 20% of all converted power into the Void. All because of your countless hours of work polishing this awesome addon. Thank you.

I shouldn't criticize, since you're just not playing the same game as me, but actually, you're doing so ... but I won't say anything, because that would be redundant. Feel free to play the easy game you want.

First: Stop reviving old threads. At least this one was recently dead
2: Already suggested (at least by me, 1 or 2 years ago), and denied.

Quote from SirusKing

Fun fact of the day: Conventional reactors, if handled properly, emit less radiation then Coal generators.

Of course. That's what I told 10 times to Greg ^^. Too bad german people don't know that, they would find fun the fact they replaced all their Nuclear Reactor with coal-based powerplants ...

Quote from T10a

Question. Why is there a tesla coil in the recipe?

To protect you from mobs I assume. In order not be annoyed by "You shouldn't do that. Monsters are nearby."

Quote from AlexPRO

GregoriusT. Do not worry, I will not ask, you are updating the mod very quickly, and how the ban will help you in life? Question, it is only the letters on the screen of your monitor, do not be so selfish. Be kind to people. And God will reward you. Just take a look. You want to ban me for a couple of words. Why such injustice? And why was a drunk driver hit me. I can not walk. What do I do? I just play minecraft. And I just asked how long to wait for another update, because it's a great mod, and the current version does not work.

1- Actually, and happily, you didn't ask anything to Greg I guess.
2- We're not saying you'll be ban, just making you aware of the rules: modders can demand a ban for someone asking them for release date. That's been made because the devs team was really annoyed by those. And they extended that for addons.
Anyway, we have absolutely nothing against you, we're just saying you should stop, even if the modder of this addon seems to be fine with that.

Quote from GregoriusT

No he's not. Btw, if you asked that in my own Thread, then I would've sent a ban request to Alblaka immidietly.

And:
1- I can't ban you. At least I can ask Alblaka.
2- Why racist ? I don't even know where do you come from ! (I know you didn't mean that, but what you actually meant ... it's a mystery for me lol)

Quote from SpwnX

You can't get fortune IV with vanilla enchantments if i'm not wrong.

Even with Anvil ? Lol, I should maybe play Vanilla more if so
