    second: A black hole cannot be used to store anything useful. This is due to the fact that you cannot get anything back out (the hawking radiation that escapes would not provide a significant amount of power)

    Assuming it would turns items into pure energy (because collisions at an incredible speed, then finally because of speed [when reaching light speed or almost lightspeed], it wouldn't be efficient as storage device ^^

    Since you are now limited to OP Generators and Geothermals.

    Use advanced Generator!
    Slag Generator is a very good one, used with wood gassificator + centrifuge, you'll get a pretty impressive amount of energy per wood, + scrap :D (and while farming wood, you'll also collect leaves, sapplings wich you can also use as a way of generating energy, and apple, for food!) ... (it's quite OP with Forestry but ... Forestry is actuall OP in my mind since it replace green generator :/ The better is not to use Forestry, as me ^^)

    Edit: and sorry for double posting, I'm reading comment 5 by 5, rarely more ... It would have been better if someone posted before I finished typing this ^^

    DUUUUDE, dont steal my electric Blast Furnace Idea. (I mentioned it ealier)

    Was it exactly the same ? ^^ And sorry, I've been absent 2 days, and I didn't check the 4 pages that appeared while I was away ... ^^

    DUUUUDE, dont steal my Multiblock Solar Idea. (I mentioned that also earlier)

    Don't forget adding in the recipe some rare-non-UUM-able Item (as I did with "darkdust"). I also really like the way your mod makes the nether really useful (because without it, you go in that dimension only when needing glowstone, MobLoots, SoulSand/Netherrack and huge Lava lakes, i.e. almost nothing when RC is nont installed). That's why I suggested this dust available in the nether only ^^
    Edit [In french for Lung Zatar]: Lol, "scientifics" ... on dit "scientists" ^^. Je fais des fautes aussi, mais la ... c'est une erreur de débutant mon ami! ^^

    Which brings us back to the recipe I suggested in the first place: Advanced alloy, circuits, and of course Uranium. The alternative to this would be to use only Re-Enriched Uranium so you have to go through and use the Uranium in a reactor, then get a depleted rod, then re-enrich it in a breeder in order to make a nuke. This would make nukes very time consuming, but it would also mean players could get a constant stream of uranium by using a breeder. This is why I recommend adding an Advanced Circuit in the nuke crafting recipe to make the recipe require non-renewable materials.

    Use Gregtech-addon.

    I kinda like the energy suit, but a few things i would change:

    -Defense from this suit is worse than nano suit (Not much, like 0.75x the def of the nano)
    -Only energy crystals in your hotbar are elegible to recharge your suit/tools, rationale being that when an item is in the hotbar its because you have it somewhere nearby like a pocket in your suit, and not in some weird infinite space limbo.

    I agree with FenixR. (I didn't rate this thread because I'm not supporting (I've no advice on it) the "infiltration suit" even if I would appreciate seeing upgrading path for Nano-Suit: If that was available Fenix, I would have rated your comment ^^).

    Suggestion:

    Extreme Temperature Furnace:
    This would basically be a very advanced furnace. It would have as purpose a few things:
    1- Processing materials in a new way, allowing you to get new processed materials, for new features.
    2- Helping Cooking-automation at the cost of ressources.
    3- Incredible speed while cooking (about 3-5 faster than Induction furnace, for bigger EU cost per operation and without efficienty when reaching 100% of heat --> if you aim at minimizing energy consumption, it would still be better than mass overclocking normal furnace, even if it would also be slower).

    For this purpose, it would havethe following caracteristics:
    Heat increases by 1% in 10 sec, decreases by 1% every others second.
    Energy consumption:
    -While heat is increasing: 512*next percentage you'll reach (so if you're currently at 49%, it takes you 256 EU/t during the time you need to get 50%)
    -While it's just keeping heat-level: 64*Heat percentage. (this one interfere with speed: Something*(Heatpercentage)², with 2-3 the I-Furnace Speed when both are at 100%)
    Special effect: Can process 2 times dust while operating 1: as example, 1 Iron Dust + ETF --> 1 Refined Iron [or Steel ?] (could also work with your "carbonized" materials"
    Of course there would be a button to chose the max Heat wanted. (So it would also be a furnace with adjustable speed!)

    Ideas of special features:
    Cooking glass (8) will give you Lens Block. This one can be used with Advanced-Thermal Solar Pannel, to make it produce (more) energy. Heat Level needed: 60% or more. See more details later.
    Cooking ClayDust could give you ceramic, wich could be used as advanced-Nuclear (for example) components. Heat level needed: At least 70%
    Only way of cooking Tungsten Ore/Dust from RP2 (the tungsten ore should also need the advanced macerator at least to be macerated) Heat Level needed: 100%
    4 BasaltBlock: Lava source. Heat level needed: At least 80%
    Get Diamond from Coalchunk 20 times faster! Heat Level needed: 100%

    Can also be used as a way of purifying. (Exctracto-like fonction, but faster and ... needing the thing you want to extract can't be damaged by Heat ^^ (i.e.: don't try to get Hydration Cells with, or to extract RubberTree)

    Advanced-Thermal Solar Pannel:
    While exploring you've probably found a lot of glowstone at the top of caves. But have you ever thought about exploring caves very deep in this same Nether ? No ? So you probably don't know here are Darkstone. Why darkstone could interest you ? Because it's a perfect Black Body. This means ou could use it as a very efficient Light-Heat converter. And guess what ? Our great company already discovered a way of using it to produce EU! We are not responsible of the incredible rarity of this material, considered as 100% rare than Iridium Ore.
    Craft an A-TSP like this:
    :Coal Dust: :Force Field: :Coal Dust:

    :Force Field: :Coal Dust: :Force Field:

    :Advanced Circuit: :Reactor: :Advanced Circuit:
    Where :Coal Dust: are DarkDust and :Force Field: Advanced Lens Blocks.
    Advanced Lens Block are crafted with 8 Lens Block and 1 Diamond.
    Without anything, this will only produce 12 EU/t during the day, 2 while raining (day) and 0.25 during the night.*
    But there is a way to get more ...
    This incredible generator is able to use light reflected by Lens Block and Advanced Lens Block in a 9*9 square (with the A-TSP in the middle) to get even more energy!
    Lens Block will count as 0.5 EU more. But you should prefer Advanced Lens Block, wich will give you 3 additional EU/t !
    The ATSP need a 9*9 area empty of block up to the sky to work properly.
    Be aware that this device is also less laggy than low-tech Solar Pannels!

    And about the sticks to planks, the best would be 4 sticks - 1 plank or 6 sticks - 1 plank, in order to make it a not as good way to get wood, but i have no idea how can we code a machine that requires 4 of X in order to produce Y, speacially because you could just remove the sticks in the middle of the operation...

    It's already done. 8 Copper Ingot + Compressor.

    This is the problem, though. It's all or nothing. There's no middle ground. And, frankly, I think you need to learn to make a distinction between 'rare' materials and 'late game' materials. I shouldn't need the Matter Fabricator to get the materials needed to make the Matter Fabricator. This addon could be so much more enjoyable if it followed a more incremental advancement plan.

    Just config this little thing. Disable Matterfabricator recipe.

    4x

    I would say something like: x2 + bonus byproducts (random) or max x3 (also random).

    (20 redstone and 24 lapis lazuli per ore

    The macerator already did 10/12 RS/Lapis with Gregtech addon ???

    It would drain 32 EU/t

    For a VERY-advanced machine ? Are you kidding us ? I would speak about 128 EU/t.

    200 ticks

    Same thing. This is too short. 400-1000 ticks would seems better.

    diamond block

    This is not EE.

    4 steel block

    This is not Railcraft.

    I have about 40 of them

    There's already plenthy of uses for diamond: Iridium-based material, Tunnel Bore Head (I don't use Railcraft for the time being, but you seems to use it), macerators if you didn't disable the expensive recipe, Diamond drill ... and 40 is not that much (I've got 110 while mining 10 hours ...)

    And yes, powerful devices warrant iridium, but the problem is that they're all powerful. Players are split into two tech levels. They either have iridium, and have everything, or they don't, and have your two low-class machines.

    Tier I --> Circuit + Machine + cable + generator + basic things
    Tier II --> Tier I + Advanced Machines, Advanced circuits, Lapis, Glowdust, energy crystal, carbon plate, advanced alloy.
    Tier III --> Tier II + Lapotron
    Tier IV and more --> Tier III + Iridium. I don't anything here that isn't logic. That's meant to be like that, because it's a way of adding tons of hours playing before reaching any endgame.

    I do not agree especially with that thread, but as SpwnX already said it, because it's unused, I guess Terraformers should be reworked.
    Suggestion about it: why not adding a Terraformer that avoid mob spawning ? It could also decrease pollution (if implemented one day) and have similar "cleaning" effects.
