Good Idea!
In fact a lot of server forbide the Mining Laser because of easy grieffing with, even if the serv have pluggin for protect certain zone.

So you can't mine with in Multiplayer, and I think a more advanced drill should be added.

I already think to something like that:
"Abrasive disk"

=diamond

=Tungsten Ingot / Advanced Alloy

= Nothing

Tunneling Machine
__

__

="Abrasive disk"

Rest is obvious.
It could have 3 modes:
Normal: has the same effect as diamond drill, but make you directly drop items mining (what could help you when mining laser on that f***ing lava), maybe at a speed a little bit higher. Consume 1.5* the energy consumed by the diamond drill per blocks mined.
Mining: Mine directly 2 blocks in the same time that the first mode. Cost 4 * more energy (so 6* energy cost for diamond drill, but it means 3* more energy PER blocks)
Useful for ... mining
Excavation: Mine 3*3=9 blocks in the time needed for mining one. This fact will cost 30 * the energy needed to mine 1 block with normal mode, so 45 * Diamond drill energy cost.
Very useful for people who want to dig big hole without using Terraformers.

Lol.
When they aren't 13, they don't cry, you're right.
But they ragequit.

You don't really understand.
I get the complete quantum suit in 20 hours.
But I would like being able to kill my oponent when they get it, because they cry when I attack them while they have not and when they cry, they ragequit and I can feel alone on the server.

It could directly create fuel able to produce energy ? but For that, Fuel should be more efficient in the gen. Or maybe it could be a good Idea to add an "advanced generator" wich could produce more EU per fuel, and could have a creater ouput max ( maybe 30EU )
Did anyone think as me that in IC², renewable energy are too easy to get, when using fossil energy (or renewable obtaining from plant) isn't profitable ? I think the problem is here. If Biofuel is unuseful, that's because it's much easier to produce the same amount of energy with solar pannel.

As said in the title, I think it could be interesting if we could make flour by puting wheat in the macerator ...
What's useful with flower ?
Smelt it and it will directly give you Bread (so you get 6 time more bread than with normal recipe)

Yes, or maybe we could discover news technologies (so news crafts) in dungeon, stronghold or other chest randomly generate on the map ?
This Idea could be good if we want to make a realistic economy on a server ... but in single player ...
More reasonable, the fact we must make research before finding machine should improve them.

i think this part got lost in translation

You 're probably right.
Because I'm frenfch

I know, i have thought to create my own add-on.
But I know too this is maybe a dream, because of the time I would spend to do it and because I have to start from scratch how to do it.

PS: you really thought I say that because of hoping someone will accept what I suggest ?

Okay ... then I will be sad for all my life

I disagree with you on that point.
For me, a new suit could be useful for few things:
At first, the chestplate would gather the effects of Lappack , Quantumsuit Bodyarmor, sort of portable tesla coila against mob, would extending inventory (with a special chest ine the one you could place item from your inventory but using energy for teleportation), allow you to place basics blocs (cobble and dirt) infinitely, to have a tank for lava (or water, but not very useful because of MC's physics) and above all, a Microwave-Energy Converter wich could make you able to receive energy (with about 66% losses) from Microwave generator at a certain range (with that, no needs of coming back next your MFSU, but even more needs of energy)
Maybe with that you could to run a Multifunctionnal-tool, wich could have the effect of Diamond Drill, Chainsaw, Nano-Saber, electric treetap or wrench with Right clicking ... (of course the craft should need all these tools ), allowing you to have even more space in your inventory.
With the Boots, you could jump as with the quantumsuit Boots, but when double-jumping, you could fly, as in creative! (consume a lot of energy, of course)
The helmet would have 2 mode: without artificial light (to see the reality, for example when building a house and placing torches) and with, useful for mining.
And finnaly, the leggings would allow you the teleportation ... (same system as Essentials with the compass)
Of course, each part of this suit would store 10 000 000 EU ...

That couldn't justify to make a Tier IV technology ? (I understand that Al is working hard and has other things to do than coding IC², but that should be an idea for addon)

I think he should ... maybe it's a lot of time spent in coding, but IC² need it

Np, I will soon add it in a thread I have created, concerning Tier IV tech.

I think Tier IV tech should be added: Why ?
For a single reason, giving an aim for player having all things of Tier III tech (QuantumSuit, MFSU, etc ...)
In fact, I got the quantum on all the server I play in 20 hours ...

Now, Ideas for Tier IV tech (for repliers, give Idea for crafting: Storage Units, Suit, Machine using more EU, cable, circuits, etc ...)

The base is the "Supraconductor": It's a cable with a very low rate of losses (maybe 0.01 per cable, can transport up to 16 192 EU/t)
Crafts (I created in order to it be very, very expensive, thus you must play even more to get it) :

Silicium:
Recipe with 5 matter, 2 coal dust and 2 sand.
Smelt it into the "High temperature furnace" (I already talk about it) will give you silicium ingot.

semiconductor (give 2) :

is carbon plate.
is "silicium ingot" .
is ... diamond. (Now, i won't precise anymore to what item the pictures refer to, according to the fact it's the same)

A sort of "cooling circuit" (give too 2) :

is "Liquid Helium cell" (I already speak about it with "Thermonuclear fusion reactor", it is needed to give the "semiconductor" its properties of superconductivity).

is simply glass.

Finally, the supraconductor:

is the "sort of cooling circuit".

is the semiconductor.

Then, with this supraconductor, you can make (bigger and more efficient solar plant to collect more EU, that's right):
Advanced processor:

is supraconductor.

is ceramic ingot. (can too be obtained by smelting clay dust in "High temperature furnace")

What's useful with that ? You can now craft a very expensive machine, the "Energy-Mass Converter"!
Energy-Mass Converter can create Matter from NOTHING! (I say that, because the Mass fabricator create it from air or scrap)
Of course, Energy-Mass Converter create too antimatter (so, for a new way of energy storage, craft a sort of higly-secure cell with force field containing it, put them arround a Lapotron crystal, (2 Matter cells and 2 anti-Matter cells), 4 advanced circuit and get the ultimate way of energy storing, Energy-Mass Crystal! (It contain a little EM Converter to destroy matter and anti-matter when you need energy, create it when charging it, such as a battery do with with ions)
[Others things coming soon]

I agree with this idea but ... maybe your way of creatingbacteria could be easier ?
For example, as I already suggest, with:

-- -

Moreover, I think it's unusefull having many kind of bacteria, just one, to create biofuel.

Someone speak about the Tungsten ore ... what's useful about it ? why not smelting it in a "high temperature furnace" (I already speak about it for ceramics) wich could use a lot of EU (128 EU/t), what is good for the one who are searching more usage for energy ...
Now, with Tungsten Ingot and Iridium plate, it could be possible to craft a other plate, even more expensive, even more efficient, used to craft the Tier IV Suit ?
Moreover, that could give an aim for player having the Quantum Suit.
Of course it should need too Tier IV storage crystal, Tier IV circuit ...
If you want to read more about it, I'm creating a new thread about Tier IV tech.

I know that some people already think to the Thermonuclear fusion reactor.
I just show here how I think it could work. That's why I add it.

at what cost? whats the counter balance?

Maybe with a sort of special tank craftable with one looking like the BC's one and with "Microseaweeds ADN"--> Could slowly turn Water into biofuel whith help from the Sun.
Idea for the
"Microseaweeds ADN" craft: same shape as chest/furnace but with matter: Could make it very useful but obtainable only at a certain level of developpement.

+1 too.
I think windmill should produce more energy in order to make large system, and make them unbreakable should help for it

Maybe a way of generating biofuel by culture of microseaweeds ?
But Biofuel should in this case provide more energy. And do not waste cells.

I have add the "reffinery" and delete everything about Forces.
