i would be perfectly fine with a simple "skip this stupid night" machine, i could care less about halting time or skipping day. "skipping Day" is as simple as taking a mining lazer underground and making a Mob Spawning area for me to have my fun 
you could simply code it as "ok Server, everyone is in a bed, you can make it dawn now"
Edit: P.S. Fenxir, i wrote you a small report above incase you didn;t see the edit
Oh really? Scientific? I would love to read the whole tesis on how to achieve the world to rotate at a accelerated speed at the whim of a single machine.
Also EE has been recently ported to SMP iirc.
*facepalm* re-read the above post.
Thesis on World and Mind Altering Mechanical Units
Many people wonder to this day if it is possible to scientifically change the time of Day on a planet. i believe this is possible with the innovation of several machines but i will merely propose 2 innovations on the matter at hand. both of which being feasable, specially the smaller the world is for one of these wonderful machines. first of which is a World Accelerating Turbine Styled Engine, and second of which is a Solar Operated Mind Stasus Emitter. these will be described in the following paragraphs.
The World Accelerating Turbine Engine, always know as a WATE Unit is a power device that resembles much of what you would assume a Jet Engine to look like, this device uses Millions of Watts to force enough air through its blades at such a velocity that it causes the planet to spin within it's own atmosphere. it then reverts directions after a very brief period to slow the world back down to its original and natural planetary rotation. this device could be very possible after significant amount of Research and Development.
The Solar Operated Mind Status Emitter, also know as a SOME (pronouced: soe mee) is a powerful and mechanical device that emits high ammount of radio and energy waves to interupt the human mental thought process causing temporarly unconciously. the individual have little to no recollection of the event apart from waking up on the ground, Much like to the movie known as Dark City. this device's operation is halted by a tiny Photo-Optic Cell that detects solar energy causing it to shut off during the day. once night time approaches the photo-optic cell halts the machines internal singal causing the emmiter to transmit the frequency again each night.
I believe that both of these machines are very possible in our current world when given a significant amount of thought and consideration about their justful applications and hope to see these become usefull and worth while innovation to better advance our industrial world.
sstill, having a significant amount of solar panels rotating sides according to the time of day would be very laggy, also this you realistically prevent you from putting solar panels side by side cause if you had them all touching, when it'd 3 minutes till night time or at dawn then the faces would be covered by the adjacent solar panels. also could you imagine some people with their 500+ solar panels? they'd be like "shit! the solar panels are about to re-align! quick log out before they shift sides or your client will lag out so bad your computer will crash! (every 3 minutes during the day)
i think ya'll are just to tied up on EE because it's "magical". EE is overpowered and rediculous, specially if it was for SMP. this idea is Scientific, not magical, and is not overpowered in any way. think of it as a Time Machine not a magical device that forces the sun to move faster. this machine could be anything from a global stasus generator that simply "locks" everyone minds in Limbo, causing no one to remember the night ever appearing, or could be a MASSIVELY powered electrical engine that forces the world to spin faster;. there isn't anything "magical" about those ideas.
furthermore: EE cannot be used on SMP, nor would i add it even if it was. there is nothing overpowering about this idea and it is a relatively simple thing to code. also it's not the fact that it's a "day changing Device" it's a fact that it'd be usefull to have so that if there are 8 people on a server you don;t have to make them all Log-out or scatter to a Bed in order to skip the nighttime, and that's IF they are even capable of logging out due to being AFK during the more Played Hours of my server, 4pm-10ppm USCentral time.
ok so reading all of this gave me an interesting idea that might be accetable in my opinion. i'll summarize it first
effects of implimentation:
remove Mushroom Terraformer and cause High Output Reactors (1,000eu/t) to cause Radiation type Polution.
Reasoning:
Mooshrooms are a mutation and abomination of nature, have the "radiation" in the area cause mushrooms to overgrow and be like a parasite to cows, since once you shear the mooshroom of the mushrooms it turns into a normal cow anyway, makes sence that way too. also have the effected area turn all Grass Blocks into Mycellium, this would simulate "dead" hazardous grass that grows regular mushrooms into giant mushrooms as though they are saplings. also have the effected area turn water a shade of green as Uranium Enriched water. this water could be used in compressers to create a Uranium Nugget, 9 uranium nuggets = 1 uranium ore. since high output reactors typically require them to be CASUC reactors then a significant amount of energy is waisted on creating Ice from Water. this UE Water would be a way to reclaim alittle bit of that lost energy once the CASUC Reactor started mutating the enviroment around it. keep in mind this the would take a significant amount of time for the polution to randomly turn 9 blocks of source water in the area into UE Water. also mave Trees in the area slowing start turning into Red Musrhooms, so you could grow a huge jungle Sapling (4 saplings together) and then it's turn into a giant muchroom resembling the general shape of a ToadStool Mushroom.
i feel this is a reasonable balancing method for the implimentation of this mod. also placing 5 think of walls around the reactor would contain the polution, so you could put it deep underground or inside a mountain and have the radiation contained from the radioactive waste like they do IRL.
agreed, you should post on this thread
http://forum.industrial-craft.…ad&threadID=4994&pageNo=1
also please use the search function before posting a suggestion so that we don;t get several of the same thing.
the teleport idea is interesting though. but what would be better is to set a Teleport Pad at home and have a Satalite be able to teleport you from your current location back to your homes Teleport pad. then you could be like "Beam me up Scotty!" and be at home at the cost of significant amounts of energy.
agreed, single bars on the side sounds like a good idea for non-reinforced, all the temporaly stucture scaffold around my work is single angled bar. so having 2 bars would make perfect sence in making it reinforced, i'd still levae it about to be seen through though. and yes holes through the top is greatly prefered if able,
Was that a Fact or a Codesuggestion?
i think that was a fact but not sure if a few words were left out, if 1 or 2 words was left out then it was a code suggestion. but i think it's a fact.
actually instead of the raised Diamonds like on Steel Diamond Plate, how about make them holes to see through? 
makes it alittle more convinient and realistic. realistic because they usually leave it hollow the decrease weight and strain on taller structures.
can't you put a IC2 Pump over alot of lava with 4 geothermals connected to it and have the Pump pump lava into the Geothermal reactors like how they put water into compressers? i haven;t tested this because i just go to the Nether and use a BC pump over a 64 by 64 area of lava and pump it into 16 geothermals, usually makes me a couple stacks of matter over a week, it's a good way to get alittle matter near the start but it still takes a really long time, especially if your on single player.
Ehem.Do I alone feel,that 1 UC can't generate anything? If I am right,the basics of reator are having 2 or more cells to interact.1 UC cant generate anything,it simply is'n interacting with anything,so I suggest removing process of generating EU with 1 UC.Just...unrealistic
it's not unrealistic at all, you can use a single small nugget of enriched uranium in real life to generate energy. also, since when has MC ever been realistic? lol. furthermore, 1 UC only generates 4million EU/t if your server can keep up with the 20t/s calculation, if you put 4 in a square then you get 24million, which makes sence. so the more you use the more effective it is. you should look up how nuclear generation and the chemical properties of Uranium work in real life. the current reactor setup makes a significant amount of sence.
Right. Kinda forgot it needed textures, and I'm about as artistic as a... um, not particularly artistic... thing.
Edit: Ok here goes, quick and dirty reskin of the wood scaffold. Far from great but it's a start.
MSPaint why do you hate me? White should be transparent.
in my opinion that looks good although have the top of it alittle brighter in color. that material is usually made from Stainless or Galvanized Steel so it doesn't rust the darkest color i have seen scaffolding is the color of the stone in the background of these forums, but it's usually the color of your average kitchen knife
Here is my "attempt". I don't claim any advanced spriting skills, but I thought it might be fun to try. I relinquish all rights to Alblaka if he decides to use it.
that'll work! the diamond plating looks pretty good, or would we prefer to be able to see though the top like we do leaves, that way we can see if there if anything below the floor like a creeper :p
further more alblaka is already against radiation / polution and to my knowledge really doesn;t want to make new blocks under any cercumstance unless it's something productive like Iron Scaffolding. him having to code all new types of "damage/decaying/dead blocks for all the signs of pollution sounds like a no already. specially if it requires like 30 new block IDs
align=left]To be honest that sounds like a separate idea, which could probably (wild guess) be implemented by changing the "hit wet foam with sand, become dry foam" code, to also detect "hit wet foam with iron bars, become reinforced foam".
Not really a fan of a MUCH cheaper reinforced stone of comparable strength though, would render re-stone pretty much useless.[/align]
it would be alot more work to install though cause you;d have to spray it all first and them manually insert each Iron Bar place each "block" before it hardens. and sometimes you might miss the stone before it hardens and then would have to destroy it and spray more or just leave it and would have weak spots in your wall. not a bad idea though but i think we should move this idea to it's own thread.
but why would i WANT to waist hours upon hours cleaning up something that's just going to assively get dirty again and again specially with the huge facility that i've been known to make, when instead i can actually be productive with my time and create new outstanding building, auto-crafting facilities, mining for diamonds and Tin to use as flooring in the warehouse, ect. that's taking the "fun" out of the game if i have to clean up after my 20 Macerators, 10 compressors, 3 induction furnaces, 4 extractors, and 12 nuclear reactors. if this was done then i'd be forced to spawn thousands of solar panels and use one of each machine with like 32 overclockers in each machine just to keep poultion down but then my server would be screaming at me like a banshee and then fry.
Backspace deleted my initial post, RAWR!! D=<
Reading about all this talk about CF gave me an idea, Cider - what if there was a second form of iron scaffolding, only for construction purposes, that could be used to act like rebar does in concrete? It'd be nice to have something that was comparable to Reinforced stone, but a MUCH cheaper alternative - it would also give me an actual incentive to build a canning machine, as I usually just build a massive 2+ thick wall of Reinforced stone to keep my reactor from causing any harm to the environment.
maybe make the current "Iron Bars" block work in this manner? (not Iron Ignots but Bars) then we could construct the building however we want and go to town on it with the CFoam sparing for Reinforced CFoam.
CF sucks up my redstone and my diamond ingredients so i'm going to get every block I can out of it.
incase some of you don't if you compress a CFoam and use the sprayer you can get 2 shots of 13-18 foam, so instead of placing 1 block you can spray 26-36 at the same price. his recommendation was that the "low power" mode would use like 1/16 of a shot instead of waisting and entire CFoam block.
and how is Cfoam sucking up your diamond ingredients? are you really worried that it's "sucking" up 1 diamond per like 5,000 blocks worth in CFoam sprayers? if that is the case then you need alot more practice with a sprayer and much better diamond mining methods. with a proper method of mining you should be able to find about 30 diamonds, and 5 stacks of coal (not including other minerals) per hour.
No like ppl need even more motivation not to use anything else than solar or wind....
another very valid point, rofl
]What a joy killer, you must be on the same bandwagon of "I dont want any negative consecuency for running this potentially Nuclear reactor filled with 20+ Uranium Cells, Thats totally green energy right there", or something along those lines >.> /half sarcasm
lol, nah i use CASUC Reactors and nuclear mining meethods all the time. but i'd like to be able to have a hidden base in a jungle and people not be able to find it instead of climbing a tree and being like "hey what is that 32 by 32 death zone with no living trees, green and black water, and dead ocelots laying all over the place, oh it's Snoochy's base *facepalm*"
ehh, i'm not to fond of something THAT complicated. i'd rather just be like "hmm i have 128 Blocks of gold, i think i'll make a high speed track from point A to B. and add a few redstone torches. if it's something that requires a good amount of time to Setup and place then i'd rather the recipie be quick and easy, or vice versa. not both.
