Suggestion: Aluminium HV cable.

Nooooooooo! I had already thought about Aluminium Cable, don't suggest it before me!
To me, it should be more like a cable with absolutely 0 % losses, cheap and able to transmit up tp 3EU/t ... but not /p. I mean, this would be a very useful cable to power machine away from your energy source, but as it would be unable to deals with mutliple packets, this wouldn't be a good one to collect energy.

Others cables suggestion:
Silver Cables:
Recipe: 3 Silver Ingot + 6 Rubber --> 3 Silver Cables. EU losses: 1 per 8 cables.
Usage: Collecting energy from Windmills, powering machine away from your energy source.
Electrum Cables:
Recipe: As for Gold, just give only 6 cables instead of 12. EU losses: 1 EU/5 cables (max insulation).
Usage: Powering Advanced Machine away from your energy source.

If you don't like the default recipes then enable hard mode ones... as stated right there in the OP.

... I'm talking about the "Hard mode" recipes ... did you take me for an idiot ?

Hi Sentinmel!
I'm here to suggest something.

At first, here are the reasons why I will suggest somethings:
1- I think the Advanced Solar Pannel is too easy to get. 1 Advanced machine, 1 Advanced alloy (for the reinforced glass), some circuits and 1 Ura ... that's not a lot of ressources for something that can store energy, produce 8EU/t and 1 during the night.
2- Even if I like the fact you implemented some rare ressources for its creation (eg. Uranium), I dislike the fact it makes it obsolete as a Fuel for Nuclear Reactor. I guess servers using your addon don't have a lot of Nuclear Reactor ... even no one would I say. What about making it based on diamonds ? (because, diamonds could be useful as a transparent material).
3- I'm not playing FTB because of few things: Ability to "teleport" Lava from the Nether to real world, i.e easy infinite source of EU, mystcraft dense ores ages, the fact that Forestry can replace IC² Greengen with Logger + Generator at a cheaper cost but ESPECIALLY because Gregtech (Iridium generation) + Mystcraft Dense ore + Advanced Solar Pannels. I think it's too easy to get a bunch of Iridium with quarrying mystcraft dense ore ages. You would be right saying to me I should complain about Mystcraft more than about your addon. But I think it would be easy to you to reduce the amount of Iridium needed while increasing the amount of UUM for the crafts, aren't you ?
4- I'm not against the fact you can produce 512 EU/t with a single block, but I think (even more, as it's infinite) it should be way more expensive than using Nuclear Reactor. Actually, it is, but not as I think it should be.
5- To me, your addon definitely makes windmill useless (ASP can be used as Night energy generation, are easier to use than Windmills and with about the same prices, without counting cables).

Basically, I'm suggesting a few things:
Make an even harder mode, the "balanced mode", where the Advanced Solar Pannel needs 3 "Advanced Glass Blocks", wich could be crafted out of 6 Reinforced Glass and 3 diamonds (for 3 Advanced Glass Block). Also makes it use 2 Adanced Machine Block and 1 Advanced Circuit.
Then makes the more advanced than the first one unable to produce more than 8EU/t, but able to refuel Depleted Uranium cells (Light is a radiation, and sun is continuously sending us Alpha particles so ... ^^).
It could also be good for the Hybrid Solar Pannel and Ultimate one being Ura Cells very slowly at first but being able to be "upgraded" by "Lens Blocks" (diamonds and Glass/Reinforced glass) that wouldn't that much increase its price but makes it take more space (because it wouldn't works with obstruction between it and the sun).

Thanks for reading

I don't like it, IC2 doesn't really use leather/book

No ? You never use enchantments to get more diamonds ? You're a strange one ^^.

Quote from CrazyCrafter

got that rkwame guy, first bot to PM me. Are they getting smarter?

I got one 6 months ago.

Lol, you wanted to avoid use of rotten flesh as Can food, but you've experienced some difficulties at finding something useful with rotten flesh ?
Anyway, I think it would be a good idea as Books are now a pain to get ...

Quote from immibis

Agree with Greg, only the advanced ones are expensive enough to justify reusing them, and there's nothing to upgrade them to.
Maybe a reinforced one could be smelted into 1 or 2 steel, but there's really no point.

Why not making them able too increase generator efficienty ? Aluminum one could improve Fuel efficiency [+20% per block] (while decreasing output [-15% per block]) and reinforced one could makes the generator output more EU/t [+20% per block] (This would be only available for Basic Generator, + compatibility with addons addings new fuel-based generator).
Of course, there would be a maximum of 6 per generator.

Edit: what about creating a new slot for generator allowing using Compressed Air cells to boost up the Efficienty/Fuel (+25% EU/Fuel, during 50 sec - 1000 tick)

Quote from SteveofDoom

Make Refined Iron be replaceable with aluminium because later I have tons of aluminium and no Iron so I have to constantly go mining for iron.

We're talking about it for ages ... and guess what ? This already done for a few things (machine, circuits ...)

Quote from SteveofDoom

Got an idea for the aluminium machine block. Make another machine block which is from aluminium and make it usable in all IC2 recipes with a machine block

What I've suggested 2 hours ago.

Quote from SteveofDoom

(I know it will be hard).

I guess it's pretty easy. Just on ID more.

Quote from SteveofDoom

IC2 advanced circuit recipes, I got 4 recipes for the adv. circuit, 2 from vanilla IC2 and 2 that support the ore dictionary for lapis and lazurite (or sodalite, I don't know).

Please do not. It's fine like that.

Quote from GregoriusT

But every Machine Recipe I change is so expensive that one doesnt want to waste 3 Diamonds for converting 8 Aluminium into 8 Iron. So thats approved.

So ? What does it means, what's the recipe now ? Aluminium Machine block usable as a replacement of machine block in all recipes except the one giving 8 Refined Iron Ingot ?

Edit: by mentionning Lead and Obsidian, you're not saying me you've changed the recipe of ... glass ? I guess not

Lol, but aluminium is more expensive than Glass, don't you think ?

You forgot Mat ^^.
The rest is too long for my french minds, unable to read such english words ^^. Seriously, I don't even get if you were criticizing or saying positive things --' (Okay, I'm above all too lazy to even try to understand but ...)

Quote from GregoriusT

They "fixed" it by not letting Redstone Engines attach to conductive Pipes. However, with Thermal Expansion and its Redstone Battery Cells...

I wondered when they would think about it

Quote from GregoriusT

Looks like, what my Industrial Grinder does.

Nope. To me, it looks more like what the massfab does, or even more, what the recycler does. (yes, you could advertise us with one of your machine here ... it starts with sc ... ^^)

Quote from Rufus Thorne

Ice/Water Cooling: Very simple. Just insert buckets of water/stacks of ice directly into the reactor, and it will act as a non-renewable SUC (Single-Use Coolant). A single block of ice will dissipate 32 RTU (Reactor-scaled Thermal Unit) and a bucket of water 1080.they've

I saw you've understood the problem of the OP-ness of CASUC, and that's a good point. But CASUC weren't removed because of this, but just because it seems to the devs strange cooling down reactor with simple water. And of course it's working IRL, but do you remember why Fukushima reactor exploded, since you mentionned it ? Because they've thrown water in ... Even without speaking about water dismutation (generating H2+O2, what caused the reactor to explode), turning so much water into steam directly in your reactor seems no to me a good idea ... do you know what is PRESSURE ? I would say cooling down your whole reactor with Ice at the rate you mention would makes it go over 9000 Gibbl

Quote from Rufus Thorne

Reaction Moderators:

I like this. But as you describe it, it's useless ^^. It should be more like something that nullify/reduce heat generation for adjacent Uranium cells. But in fact, this would need for that to be between the cells, don't you think ? And cells aren't generating more energy/heat while not directly adjacent.

Quote from forsaken1111

It sure would be interesting to have some constraints to the exploration of these other dimensions though wouldn't it? Gregtech touches so many other mods, why not add in a few Mystcraft dimensions. Space biomes with asteroids and no air, for example.

He will implement it by its own way, as he already said it. With some "Gates" using EU and we don't know what to create some sorts of wormhole.

Quote from forsaken1111

You could add a machine that consumes compressed air cells and allows you to breathe normally within a certain radius or within an enclosed space, so you could colonize the asteroids.

I guess he'll do. That could also be a sort of Electric beacon (So many O2 can surely help you at running, mining etc ... ^^)

Quote from Furious1964

What are the better solar panels in regards to EU produced? Is there any chart or Wiki I can look at to compare output?

Also: UU Mater, how do you make it?

Hmmm ... First: it's detailed in the thread, first post. And I thought that was obvious: the more expensive produce the more --'
As for UUM ... it's made with the Massfab, but assuming you're playing FTB, it's made with the Matterfabricator: 16 666 666EU/UUM + 34 scraps for each UUM.

Quote from forsaken1111

Make The End and the Nether require scuba helmet + compressed air cells to breathe normally and you'll be loving those cells.

In the Nether, take constant low level damage from the heat and fumes unless in full hazmat with compressed air cells, or in quantum armor. In The End, start drowning as if under water.

Fun!

That's too much nerfing lol. Making it for new dimensions is enough. (to me).

Quote from narc

3-dimensional Manhattan distance t

I hadn't been brave enough to read the whole thing but ... why not using normal way of calculation ? I mean: distance between a: x=-17 y=10 and b x=10, y=13 is equal to: sqrt[(-17-10)²+(10-13)²]=729+9=738. I don't get the point with that special way of counting

Quote from GregoriusT

These Cells can even be emptied in a Shapeless Recipe. Also, if a Material has too many byproducts, then I skip the Air Cells first as they are currently almost useless.

They are not. Think adding world generation via gate will makes the player needing a lot of O2
