As a real live electrician i would love to see some devices to controll you Powerflow

1.
Resistor bank

A easy to craft Block that got an input and an output face.
it limits the current that can flow through it.
You can set the Ressistance with a rubber hammer.
The Power loss of the Block is calculated by the R.
Higher R -> allows less Amps to flow through
Higher R -> got a higher Voltage drop

2.
Motor protection switch
Their really common irl
They break the Circuit in case of to much Amps flowing through them
The special part about them is. You can set the trigger current, just like irl.
they can get usefull in case of Multiblock structures, that start to consume more Amps because of requierd maintenance.
Just like in real life, you have to reset them manually once they triggert.

3. Amp detection cover.
messures the current flowing through the attached cable
got 2 modes.
1. Mode 1 Redstone strengh per Amp
2. Mode 1 Redstone strengh per 2 Amps

thanks for reading

We got Holy Water Arrows,
now we just need
Standart Water Arrows, Noisemaker Arrow, Moss Arrow, Gas Arrow and Fire Arrow to turn this into the Dark Project

Experienced Blacksmith - for the best Tools

I think it would be cool if the Stats of a Tool the Player craft, depends a litle on the experience lvl he has.
The actual lvl could increase the Stats like durability, mining Speed and damage, maybe at a rate of 0.5% each lvl.

Ooops, i meant finite Water.

You cant Compare nether lava with my sugestion. Nethter lava is just place pump and be happy.
My Sugestion says, you have to find 1. a Pool that regenerates itself, they should be rare.
Than they should regen slowly, so you need multiple ones.

Thats exactly the Point.
In Case you dont have the Sourceblock generation on, it gives you a source of finite Water.
To balance this, the Source is hard to find and only gives you a bit of Water.
And for Nether lava, why Should i play with GT and use the cheapest and most easy kind of Power generation?

The Idea is to add 2 kind of Blocks, that are like Bedrock, but with the ability to spawn Lava or Water up to 3 Layers above them, like a Buildcraft Floodgate, but reversed.
They Spawn directly under Pools of Lava or Water. The ammount of Blocks that spawn, should be dependet on the Size of the Puddle. The Water one Should emmit Steam too, that can damage Entities.

To Balance these you could use the same Generation behavior like you did for your Ores, but with the difference that they can only Spawn really deep down, propably between layer 3 and 10, but possible in every chunk.
Its also diffult to find them, because you have to Pump some Liquid out of the Puddel, to see if it regenerates.
When you are lucky enough, you could finde a few of them really close to each other and Power one Thermal Boiler with them.

Just a few Ideas i got while playing

-Small Geothermal Steam Boiler
A Bronce age Boiler with Steel components. Allows to produce steam by consuming lava, just like the Steel coal Boiler.
Require maintenance to prevent leaking lava and spreading Fire, because the lava inside cools down and get solid.

-Steam Machines outputting cold Steam (a new Liquid) when the exhaust is attached to a Pipe.

-Condenser Pipe. Just a Regular Bronce Pipe surrounded By Copper Plates. It Converts Steam as well as cold Steam back into Water with a bit of loss.

-A Draincover placed on the Bottom of a pipe and Rightclicked with a crowbar, acts like the Buildcraft Flood Gate

Today i wanted to Suggesst the Breathpack.
