blueshield925: you obviously didn't read much of this post *facepalm* and i do not have commands as simple as /timeday because i'm not currently using anything like bukkit with plugins because it hadn't been updated recently to my knowledge. i could look into this further but even when I am AFK it would be nice to beable to burn of 3million of my energy to keep it daytime as an act of curtousy and safety on my server. also, just because MOST of you are used to single player and are like "herp derp, look i pulled a bed out of my creative back pocket and yay! daytime!", i actually played on a server, i have never played a game in singleplayer since as long as i have owned the game, so it's not "as easy as sleeping in a bed" specially when there are several people AFK even for minor amounts of time. i'm not asking for a time machine so please drop that ball immediately, i don't care to accelerate or rewind time. i just want a simple "everyone is in bed" machine

And see, that's why I didn't bother asking "How should I implement it". Booze is meant to be a lil sidejob, not something containing enough machine to rival IC by itself.
The current implementation uses ONE new Block. Which is the Barrel. Which can be used for 3 different liquids.
lol, as the other's ideas were pretty humorous and enjoyable... you could also use the Cauldron which can still be made in Vanilla MC but if now worthless to any MC function. you could make that like a mixing pot by slapping a GUI on it and then when it's donw use buckets to move it from the cauldron to the keg to let it ferment, which could have the fermentation level affected by the color of the barrel or minor expansion Barrels expand slightly when filled because the liquid adsorbs into the wood causing pressure within the wood assisting itself in making it water tight).
Cheapshot: lol cute drawing though and not to bad of texturing either.

You should edit the extraquote away, Snoochy.
Useless stuff, my Ideas were a bit better like a UUM-Craftingdevice instead of a Craftingtable.
And i dont know, why Alblaka is not adding explosionresistant Iridiumblocks (out of 9 Iridium Ore and not Iridiumplates) and making the Personal Safes not resistant against Nukes or Reactors.
lol, nah the quotation problem was from me mispelling "Qoute" lol, i fixed it,
and yeah most of it is useless or irrelavant ccause you can basically engineer or make other alternatives to everything mentioned in the OP, but it my job to balance ideas, not simply slap them down unless they are completely useless and bad outways the good by like 5 to 1.
and yes, i agree the UUM-Crafting Table is a GREAT idea, specially if i could stockpile like 10 stacks of matter in it and be like "yeah i'll spend 12 matter for 4 Electric Circuits! saves me the trouble of making everything myself at a higher cost of energy/UUM".
and the Iridium blocks.... i don't know why he doesn't add them but i would greatly appriciate it. and i agree, Personal Safes should be industructable but should allow the nuclear blast to go through/around them. that way people don't use them as cheap explosion prof Utility blocks to make a house of of AND store stuff inside the walls at the same time. also it would be a great way to store large amounts of iridium.

Iridium doesn't even exist in our Solarsystem. So why add Ore for it.
yeah it does GregoriosT
it's the metal they use in spark plugs, it is labeled as Ir 77 on the periodic table and is in the platinum family it is the absolutely rarest mineral on earth though. so if it ever was added then it would have to by like layers 0-256, inside of any land at a rate of 1 per 9 square chunks. but at that point it's just rediculous and you might as well make a mass fab after 2 hours of playing and make a geothermal factory in the nether.also, as mentioned, iridium is the point in which IC2 because End Game, shortly after the production of the Mass Fabricator. tossing iridium into the ground as a block would imblance it's current use, also would require another Block ID which we might be using for more valuable purposes like Iron Scaffolds
i'm aware we have more block IDs to use now know i'm sure no one really expected to run out of them when the game was originally made either. further more, with the geothermal plant in the nether it actually provides a use / mineral gain from the nether that is invaluable. so you can go to the nether to get your Iridium Ores. probly at a much faster rate then you could ever mine then in the Overworld. -
Currently, the only thing iridium is used for is making quantum armor. I thought of a few ideas.
Quantum Accelerator:
Speeds up/slows down time.
Uses energy, the faster, or slower you want time to go, the more energy it uses. So 1.5x slower would use 128eu/t, but 2x would be 512eu/t.sorry but no, the idea itself sounds great when you think of it in your head but it causes ALOT of calculation issues with block updates and similar stuff and causes some really weird issues and glitches.
Not sure of a crafting recipe, I'm thinking something with iridium plates, teles, and freqtrans. Probably not so great in smp though. Probably wouldn't affect mobs or players.
i have almost no idea what you were trying to say hear other then "maybe a new teleporting device that doesn't work on player?"... what would be the point of that? unless you could make a Mass Teleporting Device that you could use to suck up all the animals in a 12 by 12 area and teleport them to a reciever back at your base so that you don't have to struggle trying to get 2-8 to follow you at one time through a jungle or over an ocean.
Quantum Fabricator:
Like a mass fabricator, but 2x more efficient. Also works with upgrades, and has a built in recycler that automatically transfers scrap.Crafted with mass fab, adv machine on top, recycler on bottom, 6 iridium plates on the sides
this would be an interesting concept but i think i might be able to improve your idea. how about have this QMF (Quantum Mass Fabricator) be able to accept 2048eus on all faces like the current Massfab to you could eccentially make or produce 4 times faster at the same ratio and production accordingly, so it would use energy 4 times faster but would produce 4 times faster. THEN!: have it cabaple of sucking scrap automatically from a chest connected to a side of it. this way you could take all the scrap from your recyclers (let's say 27 stacks of scrap) and put it all in this chest and the QMF would syphon and burn though this scrap at the same rate as which you would be applying power.
-
that is true, my appologies, i must have been half asleep that morning.
Sliderpro: it is indeed 2 million for 1 cell stand alone. but if you put 4 together in a proper set-up you can get 24,000,000 EUs total, which comes out to 6million per cell. this is more then enough energy for a safe design.

there is a bukkit plugin for this were everybody votes for day (people who dont vote dont count) if the yeses out way the nos then it turns to day at the light lvel which hurts monsters and if the nos out way the yeses then it doesnt turn day.
well that's nice and all but first and sadly, i'm not using bukkit becaues they hadn't updated to my version yet to my knowledge and that's why i can;t even auto-backup, also, how would people vote if they are AFK? which AFK is the main issue. however, if it does get updated does only 1 person have to vote yes? and all the other can simply AFK? secondly, does it happen everytime night falls or is it triggered by a command like "/vote day yes"

Hmm...
Now the question remains who will put the rebar suggestion up first.
<.<
>.>
*sprints off, shouting* It was my idea first!
sorry dude but we posted about Reinforced CFoam days ago :p
-
i was saying that we should be able to use regular plain old Iron Bars from Vanilla MC and spray foam onto it and have it "eat" the iron bars like it does with wooden scaffold but would not refund the iron bars. this would then harden like normal but would have a slight different texture change, maybe have the iron looking bars around it like Reinforced glass does. then upon destroying the Reinforced CFoam Block, you would get back your 1 Iron Bar.
-
I say go for broke and make real industrial use for a time machine. reverse reactor meltdowns! when a reactor explodes the time machine kicks in reverses what happend and puts everything back(accept maybe the reactor itself so it doesn't make a loop). you are now free to commence flame bombardment!
lol, that would be very nice and interesting but i'm sure that would be a huge pain in the ass to code since basically you'd be making a Back-up of the world and having a machine coded to read or load the back-up and replace the blocks or simply crash the server, load the back-up and then restart the server almost instantly. sounds buggy but could be very usefull. that's a different trhead entirely though
this thread is a basic "i hate night but can't sleep in a bed" machine.

last i heard, nuclear radiation didn't cause much of a breakdown of solid stone till it turned to gravel. that is also why there is Reactor Plating in the Nuclear Reactor recipie, to help contain the excessive radiation to an extent, also if it's not a PVP server then this polution does nothing but BAD things. it needs some form of a GOOD aspect to balance it out, eg: UE Water. otherwise the only things this would be used for is...
1. deter people from using the high end generator and cause more solar spammers.
2. promote griefing, intentional or accidental.
3. cause the game to be significantly less fun if your spending hours upon hours trying to keep an SMP server clean since it runs 24/7.
4. cause players to seek other means of generation or completely lose a significant amount of users of the IC2 mod, currently it is a wonderful and useful mod that we all enjoy. why add something that a significant amount of people hate with absolutely 0 benefits?so to help make this idea acceptable you could:
1. reward in the clean-up of pollution some way, when it restores the block to it's original form and provides the player with a piece of Scrap or be able to exact Uranium from the polluted blocks.
2. Uranium is in already in EVERYTHING in small amounts, even dirt and water worldwide. so why not allow a reactor to Enchrich these minute quanitities and make them able to be extracted from the blocks or water?
3. mutating the wildlife such as cauing cows to turn into Mooshrooms that provide red mushrooms, causing regular mushrooms to turn into Giant Mushrooms, and turn grass into some tiypeof mutagen agent like Mycellium working to speed up mushroom growth, cause mushroom grown on cows, make sheep to turn brown and sheared for brown mushrooms instead of wool, stuff of that sort.
4 also keep in mind that it will take significantly more Uranium to enrich the water then you would get out of the water. also you could think of it as your dumping nuclear waist into the water and letting the Uranium Oxide particles gather and sink and the tiny little bits of Uranium are still floating in the water waiting to be extracted out.there are 4 reasons on both sides to my arguement as to why it is bad and what COULD balance the detrements in order to make it not 100% a bad thing and a sever waist of time for the average player that doesn;t like completely destroying their neighbors.

as you know i am not a fan of deep mining and so i use coaldust and brickblocks to make industrial diamonds.
i'd highyl recommend you try mining methods with a Mining LAser set on Long-Range. there is a 0 chance of you falling into lava, since you already have a mining lazer set to Long-Range it will one shot everything but a zombie which you can let burn or shoot it again. and if you have iron armor or greater then you have no fear of dieing, it takes forever for something to kill you, and getting out is as easy as aiming your lazer at a 45 degree angle and wiggling back and forth by 1 block as you shoot, creating a nice little staircase to the surface. or shoot straight up 3 times and then move aside and wait for the lazers to hit the surface, then use the Block Elevator Method to climb out. it's nice and easy and for me yields an average of 30+ diamonds an hour, not to mention like 12 stacks or more of all the other minerals as well.
now! back to the OP: i also recently suggested about something similar on a thread. however mine was the idea of making the Strayer a CFoam Launcher, this would shoot a pellet instead of simply slapping it on the wall. this flying pellet would then do the same thing regular CFoam does now but up to a 40 block range. this way you could make a reallt tall wall or structure with significantly more ease and not constly get stuck, get crushed, or have to make all new scaffold to get up to the places you missed.

Last time, I tried, Pump, paired with Miner works good with brackets and cells. But I never tried Pump with Compressor. Wiki says about separate Pump with Compressor, so I do not know, will Compressor work with Miner/Pump pair.
It seems it is a Suggestion.... we know that you can place a pump directly against a compressor and it will pump water into a compressor. what we are wandering is if a Pump while directly pump lava into a geothermal generator...
-
the holes would be fairly simple, all you got to do is remove the lighter colored "diamonds" on the plate and make those parts see-through
thank you alblaka, for implimenting another great idea
and yes i agree with you about the CFoam on Vanilla Iron Bars. maybe slightly less blast resistant then Reinforced stone but significantly stronger the plain CFoam. also destorying those could yeild the Iron bars it took to make them and nothing else.

Machine could use time advancing command (/time add 12000 f.e)
You force everything going to the future instantly.sounds simple enough to me to spend 3million EU/t per night cycle to keep it powered, maybe have a Redstone Current to turn the machine off so it doesn't skip the night, incase you need the power for something else that day?
-
Quite honestly listing the number of BAD things that could happen making something like this, i can find it more easy to code something that would kick people from the server if they spend more than X hours afk while not being in a Bed or somewhere similar.
name 2 bad things that could be caused by skipping night cycles. second sometimes when no one is online being AFK if a good thing, for example, there are RARELY people on from 1am till 4pm, in this time i usually load 2-3 accounts and park them in people's houses for them to keep their batteries charging and BC machines running. so it would be bad to kick AFK players after a set amount of minutes/hours.
-
well it's a rule that generally in affect but it's more of a curtousy thing, but when i'm gone for like 10 days to a month for work purposes i cannot enforce this rule. it'd just be easier all around to have a device or something coded that could simply completely skip the time cycles. however i know very little about coding or i would write it myself, but also using a significant amount of EUs seems like a reasonable balance to the game as you would not be able to simply make one at the beginning or the game to automatically skip all the nights. i feel that would take way from the Early Game and this would be more of a End Game thing to help ensure that important structures don't get Creeper Blasted to pieces and that outpost bases that are powered by a simple solar panel or 2 remain active while the player goes underground to mine and cannot tell if it is day or night. this could go for several players as well. if a base is run on solar panels but all players are indoors or under ground then they would have no way of telling if it was day, apart from a really annoying Clock and a player would have to carry around a bed at all times. it's just horribly inconvinient.
also as i state, i cannot be a hypocritical asshole. i know some people can march around being like "i can do this but you can't because this is mine! now shut up and do as your told!"
but i'm not that much of a prick, which is why i take all things into concideration and generally am able to keep things stable and balanced. -
Pretty much, reworking the poor mushroom biome was bad enough adding a way to "Farm" uranium killed the idea.
The idea its to only add drawbacks not beneficts of any kind.
well for the most part depenting on what you're looking for it is a drawback, but also making this the only way to create a mushroom biome would be a good modivation movement to get people to tamper in Nuclear Engineering, also the mushroom terraformer is still a bit wild and chaotic if you ask me, such as making mushrooms chage to dirt and mushrooms growing ontop of other mushrooms creating a sparactic growing of mycelium/dirt/mushroom jungles that get out of control. i'd say remove it or alter it to simply grow mushrooms that you place, change Logs to Mushroom Stalks, and leaves to Mushroom Caps, and Grass to Mycellium, Water to UE Water. while keeping in mind that causing UE Water is still not an indeffinate renewable resource since you have to use several Uranium Cells to start converting water to UE Water in the first place, it just gives a CASUC Reactor alittle more longevity since they are so hazardous to work with and operate in the first place. a plain reactor is safe, efficient and generally worry free. a CASUC Reactor is alot more hazardous, takes longer to set up, but produces alittle more UE's this is basically like creating a higher Tier is Nuclear Generation for the skilled and advanced Nuclear Technician such as Rich to get minor profits for spending so much fricken time working on and attempting to master the art of Nuclear Generation Methods.

I know jackshit about bed funtions in SMP, but would it not be more easier to force (You are the admin right?) as All player that if they are going to AFK they must do so in a Bed otherwise you will kick their arses out? (Have some balls)
as thought it would be easier to force day, i do not constantly control my server cause i have to Remort into it and that starts to cause PC issues on ym desktop of some reason. and some players stay afk for hours in order to keep MassFabs and over Buildcraft operations online such as a Quarry using combustion engines. also everyone on my server are RL Personal friends and some stay on overnight till like 6 am when i AFK over night in real life to keep the MassFabs online for everyone around my house since not very many people are online if at all from midnight till noon the next day, and i can;t be enough of a prick to be hypocritical and kick people out when i do the same thing on a very rare occassion or when i get called out to work at 7pm till 5am the next day. so this machine would greatly benefit the people on my server as well as me, specially when i'm not home. also sometimes i go out of town for a few weeks at a time and i could use the spare power of my house to power one of these machines to make my server alittle more convinient.

lol, meh, i'm just bored at work
it didn;t bother me to wrote a crappy little report showing as to why a machine is not magical... unless your a caveman.
