    Suggestion: Neutronium.

    At first, I guess something like Neutronium is already planned (I remember of a sentence from you greg I think)

    Neutronium would be a very, very rare Ore. (That could be find only in the Nether: it would replace 1 Glowstone on 2000 for example ^^)
    Neutronium would be a Super-Fuel for Nuclearreactor, that would provide basically 100 EU/t (without adjacent cells) and producing 100 HU/t but during only 100 000 ticks (as it's theorically the most unstable element.
    But Neutronium would be too a component for some SuperNuke (or a component replacing some of the nuke component giving you 4 nuke instead of one) and a Amplifier for Matter-Antimatter generation (as I saw you greg thought about planning that, for example by using LHC-like machine)

    This could also be a part of Nuclear-transformation-system (creating different Isotope with Nuclear Reactor depending on type of Emitters-cells adjacent).

    As I already said it (but I guess nobody read the post, because it was the last of the page 23, was a bit out of the topic, and because someone posted 2 minutes after me), I think we should have some Centrifuge-Recipes with Soulsand.
    Example:
    Where the word Soulsand come from ? It comes from the fact it's made of dead mobs. And you know how is Oil formed ? By organic chain of recycling ... dead mobs(say animals if you prefer, but we're not in that game called Real Life) and dead plants.
    To prove that, we could say that Nether Wart are growing on, so it has necessary to be kinda like Humus.
    So, it's like an advanced form of plantball/"organicball" ... it seems to be very close of Oil, Coal ...
    That's why I suggested it's made of Raw-Fuel, Coal Dust and Dirt ... it would even be possible that loots from mobs can be find in ...

    More seriously: that could be good finding some usages for Soulsand (In this case, we should too find usages for others things I guess ... [Yes, I know, I'm overusing "..."]) and I suggest:
    64 Soulsand--> 1 "Raw Fuel" (used with Fuel can [empty] it could provide a Filled one, ore maybe something with a lower EU-value, or even something that could give you Rubber when extracted/re-centrifuged) + 2 CoalDust + 1 Spider Eyes (or very, very old meat from zombie, up to be as poisonous as Spider Eyes) + 64 Dirt (useful for Nether-base ^^)

    Conclusion.
    1. 9 of 10 people write in topic after reading only title and may be one or two first posts.

    Conclusion: because you were a bit flamed, you have to expose us some easy-wrongs reason of it. The point is if you hadn't replied and replied again, you wouldn't have been flamed.

    2. I should avoid using word "realism" on IC forum at all costs. Especially in title or first two posts of topic.

    Yes, you should. IC² Forum members are tired of that type of title, maybe because it's one of the word we can see 3 time a month.

    Yes, I think it can be just left as it is. Not that there is something TERRIBLY wrong with it, and most people don't mind that it is "nuclear reactor" in name only, so...

    Everybody read it, again. But the discussion has turned a bit. It's normal, even if it shouldn't be. It happen in almost every thread. And even if you didn't say "IC has to be more realistic", you did it for Nuclear Reactor, and assuming it wouldn't happen anything better for Nuclear Reactor, most of us just applied it to all IC², to argue with it.

    will show player direction of each sound in a visor area by simple ping indicator in HUD. This will help to locate "strange sounds" generated by Minecraft in the nearby dark caverns.

    I guess this is a good, funny and non-OP way to do it.

    Why do we need X-Ray-Goggles, when we have TNT-Piston-Cheaty-X-Ray-Machines in vanilla Minecraft?

    Exploiting is kinda like cheating. (I know, it's strange from someone that had used so much CASUC or others mods-interaction exploits, but doing it with MC-vanilla ... I guess CASUC from example, even if OP, were in parts known from Alblaka/Elooram ... but what you used wasn't really planned by Notch ^^)

    are mostly also against Wind, Solar, Water, Coal, Cars,

    They are right: of course, Coal is the dirtiest energy ever. Solar ? It depend one the way it's made, but it contains a lot of heavy metal. Wind ? Probably because "Windmills are a good source of energy. But as they are noisy, and uggly, I disagree with installing some around my home, build some somewhere else". In fact, it's really dangerous for bird (That was ironical, but did you know it was disturbing bat because of high-frequency sonic waves emission ? ^^ That surely justify using Coal, because it's acceptable that 10 chineses childrens die in Coal-Mine, if it can help one bat to survive.) And as Hydroelectricity ... it disturbs fishs, and is possibly implied in some chinese earthquakes. But here are no more progress we could do, because there's not that much area for Hydro-based plants that are free.

    Thanks for the Idea. Why not centrifuging Glowstonedust for He-Cells instead of Netherrack.

    I guess that would be good, but my comment was just about the reason of it, and I guess there's no really logical explanation ^^. I actualy would like(when I'll be free to play MC when I want, i.e. this summer --') getting it too from Netherrack, because I've already planned Nether-based fortress in PvP ^^.


    There's something in the Netherthat is still useless ... Soulsand ... you should think about recipes for it.

    It's made of ... I don't know, but it has the properties of slowing down players/mobs. This has surely a link with some useful element.

    Which, in Centraleurope occuring, natural Catastophe could blow up a Nucleareactor in Germany?

    I guess the hugest risk concerns terorism. Try to throw one AirbusA380 (as I'm french ^^) or Boeing on it if youprefer ... but Nuclearplant are suposed to be Planes-proof. So this, even if more probable, is still an event that won't happen.

    Lol, Angi and her strange politics. Its nice that we shut down our highquality supersecure Nuclear, while Poland and France for example, have most of their less secure Powerplants right next to the german border. Seriously, as if a german Nucleareactor could blow up.

    Lol, you're probably right with the fact our oldest Powerplants are next to the border (as a Frenchman, I do not think your german Nuclearreactors are safer than french one, and judge this critizism unfair ^^ , unless for these old). But seriously, are you one of this guy thinking Nuclear Plants have a real risk to blow up without external event ?
    But that's right like that, Angela probably satisfied ecological movements by replacing an awesome energy source by the one from the XIX century ...

    Let's back to Minecraft: I wasn't asking about ratio, but why ? Is there a reason to the existence of He in the Nether ? Being so light, it should be found at the top of the Nether, with that amazing heat, isn't it ?

    And Nuclear Energy is not much cheaper. Maybe the Heliumcoolantcells, when you centrifuge Netherrack/Endstone

    Netherrack ? Why ? Endstone ? Wow, I've always thought that the End was kinda like the Moon ^^ (Because, there is actually He3 in vast amount on the Moon)

    but i wont nerf it, as Nuclear is a good Energysource.

    In real life or in Minecraft ? Lol, it would be funny: a German defending nuclear power when your government decided few years ago to replace this energy source with Coal-based plants, because everybody know it's cleaner :P

    Well ... this guys seems to have an answer for everything ... (I didn't say a logical/inteligent answer)
    So let's think the Dev team about it. But I guess it's going to be denied/non-considered ...
    At least, just think: would make it funnier than actually ? What would it really change ? I guess very few things, and not the gameplay.

    First: that's not the point of IC² would I say.
    Second: Why not using two pressure plate (when you're entering and going out, it output a redstone signal) + Logic Gates to make the same ? (I guess I haven't ben clear, but what you wan can already been done with Vanilla-Redstone-Stuff.

    But, problem with wrong metaphor is that it is getting worse, as we go in details. Alblaka can't make more complex model by adding mechanics from real reactors, so instead he had to use vents and reflectors, which he calls "magical" himself. Magic is good in Thaumcraft. I like thaumcraft, it is a great mod. But what is good in Thaumcraft is not good in IC, ok?

    Did you understand that "magic" can be used as "hayoish" ? They are not rally, but Alblaka's company want to make us believe it. You know what's an add ? you'll see the same type of word.

    Seriously, this was ironic, since Alblaka denied all Magic-workings system (Brewing Potion system, Enchanting, for example)

    Any suggestion recipes for Centrifuge:
    16 Rubber Wood (from IC2): 2 Resin + 1 Plantball + 16 normal wood/8 Rubber + 4 Plantball
    8 Resin: 1 Plantball + 26 Rubber
    16 Gravel : 16 Flint + 2 Sand
    32 Dirt: 1 Fertilizer + 2 Clay + 2 Plantball + 16 Gravel (This one seems strange, but the fact is we can't return Dirt, for obvious reasons)

    These are just Ideas, and excuse me if some (as for Gravel or Resin) are already implemented.

    To answer without "It's Minecraft, it's not realistic, because you can handle 64 m^3 of stone in one hand", I would say:
    it has not to be realistic, it just has to be balanced. You produce as much energy as you want, but you have too cool the heat produced. "Your system" would make the same, except you could waste energy because not cooled. Is that better ?
