One thing that I would really like is that Greg makes an Electric Disassembler, a machine that will disassemble given items into their crafting components. Disassembling wouldn't be cheap for some super expensive items as their crafting recipe is really complex and it takes time to tear something that's complex apart. I would personally make the disassembly of a Fusion Coil cost 10-20kk EU and for something simple like a Circuit about 10k EU.

Useless. And it would break components while processing I guess.

What game mechanics does producing of compressed air cells in electrolyzer add? Why add hydrogen cells when there are already electrolyzed water cells? Why would anyone produce methane, but if you really want that, why don't simulate Fischer-Tropsch process (with possibilities to make BC fuel and many other simple hydrocarbon materials). I'm not even sure that burning of coal in hydrogen atmosphere would work. Bauxite processing could for example require heating to get Al2O3 and then subsequent electrolysis in molten phase (two modes of electrolysis, water based and liquid phase could be a good addition). You wouldn't ever make K2CO3 from raw potassium, but from KOH, making metallic potassium for this purpose would be terrible waste of energy.

Edit: I'm not saying that separation of compound to elements is impossible, but it is very expensive and impractical. Chemistry is mainly about reaction of compounds in specific conditions having thermodynamics in mind, not just combining of elements.

We know. But that's fun. I like the way Gregs machines works, because they give you a lot of byproducts, so you can enjoy your industrialization even more.

You don't understand, the cool part wouldn't be just getting to new worlds, it would be the process to get stuff working for space travelling, meeting new life forms, the possibility to look outside your spacecraft, looking awsome planets, researching different elements, making routes for stuff you see in the sky. Also, the travelling with Mystcraft is too momentary, space travel should take a really long time.
Ps.: Sorry for reviving this post.

You don't understand. That was OBVIOUS. But, it's denied for IC², it's a lot of work, and it's planned in the Gregtech addon (advertising at the bottom ehe).
And space travelling ? No? That would be more like advanced portal i.e. wormhole.

Slag of Thermocraft, uhhm I mean Thermal Expansion.

And it's nothing when you didn't installed TE ?

Quote from GregoriusT

Its intended purpose is mass quarrying, with Long Range Mode.

More like Scatter mode.

Quote from GregoriusT

It has the same Recipe as the Plate itself before. Except that it needs Rolling Machine if Railcraft is installed.

I meanted: what's the byproducts we get with ?

And what's the thing you get with Iridium plate ?

Quote from DrCeph

To this end, I'm considering taking @MatLaPatate's suggestion and buffing the default values to 30k EU/oil and 200k EU/fuel. I'd like to hear peoples thoughts and/or protests

Quote from DrCeph

DOUBLE NOTE: I'm also considering making an IC2 oil refinery as my next project, which would allow oil/fuel to be kept entirely in the IC2 processing space. If this happens, the oil value will likely reduce back down to 20k or 10k due to reduced cross-mod infrastructure needed.

You've got my support forever

Quote from Zjarek

One thing that I don't like about it is stechiometric recipes. That's not how chemistry work. With current GT machines there are possibilities for much more realistic processing. Mixing elements to get compounds feels really weird. Magical machine to separate compounds to elements also isn't exactly reasonable.

At a certain level of technology, Science can't be distinguished from Magic.

[Suggestion]
I understand the fact lava can't be used from BC pump in Centrifuge, but could it works with IC² Pumps ? This would be a way to boost it. (or maybe the 64 Lava source recipes shown by the Gregtech Computer cube mean that it's already implemented ?)

Quote from F4113nb34st

could you be more specific as to why you can't?

I created an account, but it seems the forum does not recognize me (If I remember right). Or something else.

Quote from dwong

What is that website? I have never heard of it.

His new forum. Wich is bugged for me, as I can't join it.

To me, it do not worth it.

1) Bugreport: It's possible to destroy destructorpack within itself. :p
Why not?

Realism does not belong to MC. The problem would have been bigger if it was an objet to create an other that would have been created by itself before ... Time-like Paradox

2) I have tons of sulfur, plz add some more use for it
Fertilizer and Gunpowder are not enough? Well, you will need much more Gunpowder in the next update. And if you cant find Saltpeter, then centrifuge Soulsand.

I know! I know! Can I say anything ?
As for my advanced Miner suggestion, is it already planned, delayed, denied ? I'm quite annoying, I know.

Quote from GregoriusT

Mat, you can place Water in the Nether using IC². Two pieces of UUM = Water Source. And if you need Tank-Water, then I guess you can still make Railcrafts Watertanks in the Nether (not tested), or use the Aqueous Accumulator of Thermal Expansion.

I know, but as I'm planning to make a Base in the Nether before even getting a Massfab ...

Quote from GregoriusT

Btw. With GregTech, you are able to produce many needed Resources in the Nether, if you are at advanced Tier 02. saltpeter, Sulfur, Coal, Tin, Copper, Gold, Iron, Redstone (mainly from centrifuging Glowstone), Glowstone, Tungsten and many other things are ready to be harvested. So the Nether is a good living place.

I also know that (you thought I didn't learn by hearth what you've written on the forum about recipes ? Those I don't know are only viewable IG --> I cannot wait playing MC again :s

Quote from RusModMinecrafter

Can you disable the recipe of bronze from Forestry. It will not allow craft bronze armor and tools on the early stages of the game. Sorry, if I made mistakes. I am yet learning English.

Quote from Uristqwerty

I'm fairly sure that's intentional, as the forestry bronze recipe has double the output, so you could easily exploit your way into infinite tin and copper (since you can separate bronze dust back into tin and copper dust).

To create IC2 bronze, you need to combine dusts, rather than ingots, so both recipes most likely work, giving different numbers of different types of bronze, and for the armor (or anything else that can be processed back into dust), you'll specifically need the more expansive IC2 bronze.

Have you understood what he meanted ?
He was complaining about OP recipies for Forestry Bronze, and you ... are thinking he's request is already implemented ? Let me laugh

Quote from DrCeph

The EU/t makes sense where it is, although I think the recipe might need to be made cheaper. The other issue is that the current recipe is a little complicated with each component being crafted components. My personal opinion is that the Geothermal generator is too cheap when paired with build craft lava farms and thermal expansion nether quarries (although balancing across mods is a totally futile effort!).

Yes, Thermal Expansion seems fine to me at first, but when I looked closer ... but even without it, it's easy to get infinite Lava from the Nether. The good point, is that without mods that makes you able to pump it WHILE living in the Overworld, it's not a problem to me (Living in the Nether is quite annoying, especially since you can't longer place Water in the Nether using Ice) --> That's why I didn't and won't install mods such as Mystcraft, and why I'm not sure of installing RC (World Anchor + yes I know Quarries already does that, but as I won't say it to anyone on server I'm playing and as I won't use it in this way ... ^^)

30EU/t would be fine, as it's only 50% more, for a Fuel that is MUCH harder to get (with basic config, it's as if Refined Oil was equal to 5 Lava Sources, but you've to refine it before ... at least, don't you think pumping an Oil Deposite, even without any refinements, should give more EU/t than pumping a lava lake, wich is easier (because lava lakes are easier to find, can be found underground = while being hidden [for PvP]) ... and, as for Refined Oils, it's not the energy it consume while refining, even not the fact you need 4 diamonds to get the refinery but ... it takes so much TIME! If you count the amount of Petroleum Generator that can be feeded by 1 Refinery (assuming you're using Oil to power it, what reduces energy gains), and think of how many Geogens you can power with the same amount of materials ... think, since it seems you use(d)/like(d) EE (wich is, in my opinion, an OP mod) compare with EMC ...
At least, you can say Geogen are too cheap, but hey, it's IC² Vanilla!
Add the fact some people (me ^^) aren't using Forestry because considering it's OP (it breaks the balance because makes Solar Pannels/Windmills useless when you can get infinite Wooden-Scaffold to feed your generators, or to make biomass ...)

Edit: You'd better not use EE

Quote from MagusUnion

(Sadly, they don't in this case, but a simple config. option can adjust this...)

Yes, but the problem while you're not a server owner, is that people (don'tknowwhatareconfigs or) seems to find it the good way. So they don't see any reasons to changes the configs.

Quote from wasmic

Hmmmm, bandages? Industrium conflict?

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol. And Übercharge/critical hits buffs
Add to this an invisibility suit and Zombie-Robots(/spambots ^^), and you'll get TF2

Suggestion (I'm sure you didn't planned it yet ^^): Advanced Miner (with Real Ideas, not a Miner using Mining Laser, simply going faster or on a bigger area)
You've no Idea of what is pollution, but you think Miner isn't good enough for you ? Well, we've got your solution!

The Advanced-Water based Miner is an advanced machine that uses Water and toxic components to break stone. Then an integrated advanced-pump pumps (what a surprise) the mud you get under. It will consume 2100 EU/block mined
Why is it better than a simple Miner ? Because it runs faster (1.5 the speed as breaking blocks, comparing with Diamond Drill in Miner), dig a bigger area (16*16, i.e a single chunk) [because at it will need additional structures, it would be UP if it dig only a 9*9 area, because it would be too long to dismantle to be useful), and has 2 specials useful features:


-By weakening the stone, it allows gas to move upward, where it can be harness by the integrated pump. Yes, you heard it right, this is Shale Gas (Methane cells or something else). From what will I get it ? Simply from stone (about 1/200). You'll also get already macerated stone, i.e Sand, HAYO! (sadly, energy gain using Blockbreaker is impossible, due to the fact adding 2100 EU + 208 EU makes 2308, wich makes more than 450 000 EU for 200 stone ... no, this is intended :D)


-By mining in a more proper way all Ores, it can sometimes output byproducts! We aren't responsible of the fact not using machine blocks casing will destroy these byproducts.


What will I need to run it ? That's easy. You need to constantly supply water (IC² pump is perfect for that) to the miner, to power it with about 64 EU/t , and feed it with Sand if you're a pincher, Acid if you're a good guy. Be advised using the first will increase your power consumption by 50%, and reduce your chances of getting byproducts. That's why we HIGLY recommend you to use our H-17 Acid (don't try to craft it yourself by using Gunpowder, redstone and glowdust, it's freakkin dangerous!). To get some, you'll need some machines blocks casing.


Now, how to craft this awesome Miner ?
Simply like that:

Where is the pump and a normal miner.
Of course, you'll get more awesome results using these pink machines blocks to upgrade it ...
