I'd like to point two important areas in which this add-on is essential:

While it's still a very useful plugin, I'd like to offer this to refute those two points:

1) If you haven't got enough material to make an electric wrench, you're not going to have ANY expensive machines to risk. The worst thing you'll have broken is a basic machine. Repairing it isn't even as expensive as making an electric wrench.

2) Any time you're wrenching multiple machines, odds are good that you'll be near a source by which you recharge your gear. Again, if you can't yet afford the energy storage to easily recharge, you probably don't have much to lose anyhow.

They're nothing - if they were textures, the background would have to be transparent. Don't worry about them.

By the way, that drill looks GREAT!

If your textures are your own original work, you do not need specific permission - you're permitted to do so already. Still, it's nice to acknowledge the developers if you include a readme or something.

Also, keep in mind that the machines are not rendered from this terrain sheet. Machines, wires and other blocks are all on their own sheets.

Slap a lever on it, or put a redstone torch directly under it.

Thanks for the fast update!

Because the crash happens directly after loading Advanced Machines I first thought its that one.
But after deleting AdvMach the error persisted and I took a closer look, I highlighted the line stating its Charging Bench.

I had the same issue and the same error. Looks like the other IC2 add-ons I was using (BC-IC Crossover and Advanced Machines - with Pwnedgod's fix) are working fine with 1.70

Thank you. Simple enough, it just wasn't clear from the post.

The row of colored blocks is for painted construction foam.

The other thing you are pointing to is the LV Transformer. It uses the same textures as the batbox but also has the 3-dot side for the 128 EU current.

Quote from pwnedgod

I've released a fix for AdvM
I've only released the modified files and these modified files were decompiled using a hacky way.

So, how do we use this "fix"? If it only contains the modified files, it would be safe to assume that we don't just drop this in the /mods folder instead of the original.

Please explain what we are to do with this file.

OK, so you have engines powering other engines, which themselves have nothing to work on.

Either your screenshots don't convey your actual setup, or you definitely don't understand how engines work. What is it you're trying to do there?

It's best to put your windmills at level 127 to get the most energy from them. This means making a platform at about level 123, laying down your infrastructure and then running wires up to the mills.

There's a pretty in-depth thread in the Electrical Engineering section on how to do this. It's not particularly expensive, to be honest.

Proper credit does not, in itself, provide permission.

Nor does lack of response from the artist.

The right thing to do is to wait until you receive permission before handing out other people's work.

Quote from quantumleaf7895

And do note that there's a small chance of recovering a machine block instead of an MFE.

If you're dismantling an MFE with a bronze wrench, that's the price of foolishness. If you lose an MFE with an electric wrench... that's well deserved.

Windmills can, indeed, destroy themselves.

Quote

- Wind Mills produce 50% extra EU/t in a thunderstorm, and 20% when it's raining but not in a thunderstorm.

- If a wind mill produces more than 5 EU/t, it has a chance of breaking. If a wind mill's effective height is no more than 80, it cannot break.

Do you have permission to redistribute the work of the other artists whose packs you borrowed from?

It's quite likely with the way things currently are, that wind gens would tear themselves apart at that height. Even if nothing changes, it seems that alone would be self-regulating.

The question has been asked so excessively that Eloraam put it in Her EAQ:

“Make cover plates work on X other mod”.

It’s impossible. It’s not a matter of adding cover plates to another block type, but making a block type work inside cover plates. Covers require a huge amount of code, including a lot of custom rendering, and any blocks that use them have to be written, from the ground up, to make use of them. Anything using them would require RedPower Core to function, even if it was possible. So just use the RedPower equivalents.

I'm sure that Alblaka doesn't want IC2 to become an add-on for RedPower, so this will never happen.

Quote from Saul_Goode

You've never done something, been proud of yourself and wanted to show it off?

That's not protected under "Fair Use". I don't recall seeing "showing off work you're proud of" as an addendum to "teaching. learning and research". Keep reaching.

There's a pretty big difference between that load-bearing trestle and a scaffold... just sayin'.
