Now, the question: how do you get antimatter? Definetely via particle accelerator. But what do you need to process in order to get antimatter? I'm thinking UUM is a pretty good point. Like you need to accelerate UUM [making it unstable and able to potentially explode during the process of acceleration], squeeze it, [do all that scientific stuff] and you get antimatter as a end-product. Antimatter is going to be used as a ingredient in more advanced machines (and items) coming up in LevelStorage. What are these items? Stargate. No more spoilers. For now, could anybody with a bit of scientific knowledge describe me how you get antimatter step-by-step?

YAY!

How you could get Antimatter ? Theoretically, the way you create both Matter and Antimatter, the "first" one (which probably created the matter in the Universe, even though we don't know why the Antimatter disappeared mostly) is by sending 2 phtons of 511 MeV (aka High-energy gamma rays). That way you can get one electron and one posit(r)on/anti electron.
Antimatter is basically the opposite of matter in all (spin which you don't care about, electric charge you care about since it makes each particles attracted by its antiparticle if it has an electric charge) but mass.

But if you want a more efficient way, especially to fit with your UUM Idea, it happens that some particles contains antimatter quarks (quarks are the base of every single baryon, such as Proton (2 Up and 1 down if I' not mistaken) or Neutron (1 Up and 2 down, hence the electric neutrality, since Up = 2/3 e [e=elemental charge] and Down = -1/3e). Hence the LHC sometimes generate antimatter. So you could say that UUM + Particle accelerator = antimatter.

But, why JUST antimatter ? What about hypothetic materials with heavier quarks/particles ? It could be like, the longer the accelerator, the higher the level of the particle ou can get (with probabilities and energy consumption increasing).

Actually LHC is wasting far greater amount of power than you can get back from the matter-antimatter annihilation due to having to keep a few tens of kilometers of supercooled magnets not exploding.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ? OF COURSE I KNOW THAT!
What I said is that sometime it generates antimatter with particles owning less energy than the antimatter it generates. Which means that, with a super-enhanced and ultra-efficient LHC, we could theoretically generate energy. Just because 99% of the energy of the matter is contained in the Nucleus, and Nuclear Reactors aren't exploiting the whole thing, really.

OH! I have an idea! When you try to ignite a block that is smeltable (in a furnace), it won't actually create a fire there but instead it will drop the block cooked!

That'd be quite fast lol.
I wonder if people like SpwnX would try to automate that with Turtles or such (I know SpwnX, you don't use CC) to exploit it and use less energy than an overclocked furnace or something like that ...

Quote from Kye_Duo

actually his argument is not invalid. they will still generate 1 packet per tick. They aren't 1 EU/t.

The argument was TRUE, but not VALID, because 512EU/packet also means one of the less laggy generator being

Quote from hoho

Creating antimatter to "burn" with normal matter for power is always energy negative process.

It depends. If you create if out of pure energy, then yes. But guess what, the LHC sometimes turns hadrons into others particles, such as Antimatter ... I think theoretically you can get Antimatter for less energy than what it could give you, assuming youwould collect it entirely.

Would it be possible to allow Cells to be crafted using Aluminum? Maybe its just me but with about 30K iron in storage, i have zero tin for cells. I have 7K aluminum ingots stored up too, and not many ways to use them. Maybe i did something differently than most to get such a huge surplus of aluminum...?

Really any other way to make cells would help, but aluminum makes sense i think, and its a higher 'tier' metal than tin so it wouldnt upset any sort of balance, would it?

Agreed. Not like Tin is a rare ressource though, but I don't see any point not to use Al for that sake.

But for now, i am working on electric lighters. What special abilities should they have?

Consume Methane :p

Quote from TuxedoSteve

Most solar panels cause large amounts of lag because they are generating 1 packet of energy every tick,

AND THIS, is why CS got invented, mostly. Also, he told using Ultimate Hybrid from ASP, so ... YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID!

Quote from masterP

How about adding a particle accelerator? It would be a machine even better (and of course more expensiv) than the Fusionreactor. You can gain with it antimatter which has to be stored into special and expensiv storages. And then you can put it into a Matter/Antimatter Generator, where you also have to put, besides the antimatter, some normal matter.

We suggested it already
IMO it should be more like a highly-upgradable thingy that would be useful for researches, tech trees (the longer the heavier the particles you can discover/generate) and not only an Antimatter Generator.

Hey all forgive me for beating a dead horse, but I gotta ask...

Is there a "stable" version of this mod and the core mod for 1.5.2 anywhere?

I read the last few pages of comments to try and find out myself, but my eyes began to cross and my head hurt after all the quote of a quote of a quote of a quote, etc....

If anyone could just give me a yes or no answer it would be appreciated. A link with a yes would be freak'n awesome.

Thanks

Nope, the dev didn't update since 1.4.7, and we saw him only twice since that as well.

The electric conductivity of Cu is higher than for Au --'
But, there's no fun copying IRL for that, IC² is more like "more expensive = more efficient"

Please, do not confuse "Game lasting much longer" and "Game being enoying much longer". Why am I saying that ? Because adding UUM to recipes and making those extremly expensive WHEN YOU ASSUME THEY USE ASP is just making the "waiting phase" lasting much longer.
That's the main reason which makes me hate ASP: it's all about upgrading your solar pannels, and then you get even more EU/t so you can get even more Solar Pannels etc ... You'd better play cookie clicker
I mean, requiring UUM is cool, for those not using GreenGens, because it means they have to get the generators, to mine more and more for Uranium or to look for more and more Oil springs (which are OP in the recent BC versions, as Lava is) and more and more time to spend in their GUIs. Which is also why I hate Forestry, MFR ... actually, anything that regenerates itself and produce decent amounts of EU (I'm not against RP2-Tree Farms because they're a bit hard to think, even though a bit OP IMO, but they are less way efficient/easy to spam than others OP farms/gens).

Quote from Chocohead

Some people might want it just because they liked its OP-ness.

True story bro

EV Solar Panels/Multicore Solar Panels. Is not going to be cheap and IS going to use energized nether stars.. lots of them as a matter of fact.

Small issue: tons of people are using mods to exploit kill easily Withers. So, don't forget Osmium as well ^^.

Given how old it is, and given GT (and ICBM!) replaces tons of its stuff in a less OP-way, you could redo it entirely as well, because tons of features are now useless/senseless/OP/old fashioned.

all texture's missing in mod

Not like it got updated --'

Quote from afftor

How about making matter fabricator a multiblock structure? Will all those turbines it looks quite pale in comparison. Maybe advanced matter fabricator?

Sounds fair, but kind of useless. But anyway, the Impl. Compressor for example doesn't require being MB for anything so ...

Quote from afftor

Also how about some sort of hydro plant/dam? Water mills are absolutely useless right now and I would like to dig that resource area. Maybe bound it to the river biome?

Not like it got suggested (by me and SpwnX especially ^^) like 10 times, on this Thread and some others.

Don't say the T-word.
And btw, even if IC² wasn't being overhauled for a long time, GT was here with tons of stuff, so it always had new features :p
And of course, IC² seems to me a lot better than UE too, because it's more balanced, has no compatibility issues, no exploits ...

Quote from Jivix

On a side note, I hope they flesh out the 2nd tier a bit more. Right now it's better to dive right into a MFE since it just costs 4 diamonds and a few pieces of gold.

Yup lol. With IC² I already used to skip the BatBox step, assuming I had 4 Diamonds but right now ... I guess I'm gonna skip 2 steps at once lol.
What they should do is to make the MFE more expensive, as simple as that ^^.

Quote from GregoriusT

so all remaining Mechanics of BC are the OP things.

But ... Oil ? You can get some in GT, but clearly not enough :p

And ... Building stuff that nobody but weird guys use!

Quote from nou_spiro

when we are at rant about next version. what the hell did you with nuclear reactor? if I tested it correctly it seems like now it have 5 times lower output than before.

:/.
I hope they are at least cheaper.
But they're gonna implement some HUGE reactors with Steam, and I hope those will be a lot more powerful. However, they'll be more expensive and room consuming I think ^^.
