    this is basically my idea running with the CFoam Gun. if the Gun isn't a idea people want to run with then how about since we seem to be going with Throwable Foods... how about CFoam Eggs. you would simply combine 1 CFoam Pellet with 4 eggs and they would be a throwable version of a CFoam Sprayer, basically the complete opposite of a stick of Dynamite :D

    or how about this?..


    STEAM TUBINE! you attach this to the sides of a Nuclear reactor or Reactor Chambers, these are then fillid with buckets of water and extract heat from the Reactor Hull and generate Steam, which would generate additional EU/s, the hotter the Reactor Hull gets, the faster the steam turbines extract heat from the hull and produce more EU/t. this would dub as a Heat Sink / collant device as well as milk every last bit of energy from your Nuclear Reactors.


    the recipe could go something like this.
    :Copper Ingot::Intergrated Heat Dispenser::Copper Ingot:
    :Intergrated Heat Dispenser::Generator::Intergrated Heat Dispenser:
    :Copper Ingot::Empty Cell::Copper Ingot:


    that looks about right... what do ya'll think? :)


    p.s. the more sounds that are going on the more your client side lags. i have to play with my sounds OFF because of this and i REALLY wish i could turn off most of the IC2 sounds like Geothermal generators, recyclers, wind turbines, and compressors, i'd leave the other's on but i use so many of those 9just mentioned) that is accounts for over 30% of my Client side PC Strain. i normally get 280 FPS on MC but with like 80 machines going, between the Enet and the sounds i occassionalyl drops me to like 4 fps or less, turning my sound completely off raises it to 180FPS

    well i know for a fact alblaka was wanting to impliment a ranged building "laser" type gun and was looking into something along the lines of a "Block Launcher" this could be a starting point for his ideas and see if it's as easy to do as he might think. it should would make my job a hell of alot easier too :p

    how about a gun or launcher for construction foam. it works just like the sprayer but it visably shoots out the pellet and when the pelet hits a block it reacts just like the sprayer does. basically all i'm asking for and suggesting is a ranged CFoam sprayer for those pesky really tall walls that are hard as hell to coat with CFoam, even with Scaffolding because when you try to use the sprayer on the wall not far from you then it destorys the scaffolding your climbing on. usually causing you to take damage in one way or another.

    wow wow wow :D back to topic please :D


    lol, agreed, back to the OP: i do think this would be a great idea, specially if you could use a GUI with it to trigger at a specific light level, then you could use this to form perfect conditions for specific plants whether it is mushrooms or redwheat or anything of the sort.

    that and i can tell you and alblaka both type with an accent, i'm sure reading a different accent from 2 different language interpretations is not easy. since i'm american i can usually read what everyone is typing and fill in the blanks and change words as though they were typos.

    This house should have bactericide and electro-massage properties ;)
    Also sunlight should be reflected without decay. 8)

    lol, too bad it is such pain in the ass to cause sunlight to turn horizontally, then you could use silver to make a mirrior and make a WALL of Solar Panels under ground. lol or just to make mirrors to cause SunBeams the ricochet around the place from mirror to mirror in order to light up a room kind of like in an old movie about Egyptian Tomb where they use mirrors underground to light everything.

    Well in my oppinion idea isnt useful at all i guess. i love how i see wires covered in rubber :D and if i would support this idea i would say not to color all wire but add like lines to corners or midle.


    well it's not really useful at all, it's a cosmetic thing. i suppose it would look alittle better to make the majority of the wire covered in paint with a small black rubber ring, with the dot of the wire inside. looking kinda like this (if i can draw it right


    [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
    [][][][][][][][]------------[][][][][][][][][]
    [][][][][][][][]---Gold----[][][][][][][][][]
    [][][][][][][][]------------[][][][][][][][][]
    [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]


    [] = colored wire
    --- = black rubber area
    gold = the internal color of the metal.

    How about description pop up about block/item/mob in the targeting cross?
    Is it industrial enough?


    kind of like a Targeting Tool-Tip like on most online MMOs when you select an NPC? that could be interesting, specially if you're able to see that in pitch black, then i could mine in the dark, lol, between that and F3 i'd be a mole... digging blind snatchin up all the resources. lol also maybe have it show exactly how many Hearts of HP are left on enemies, that would make it alot easier to aquire records.

    it would probly look alittle better but then it'd also be alot harder to tell what kind of wires are what like if you think you had painted gold wires but they are copper you might fry alot of your wires. maybe allow CFoamed Cables to be full painted with tiny dots of what kind of wire is inside the foam?


    it deffinately would look nicer thought being able to completely smother 4xinsulated HV Cables a solid cable, it's pretty hard to mistake what kind of cable that is when it takes up almost the entire cubic meter.

    Updating and adding missing pages. Currently in the Recipies+Resources page ew are missing the EU-Meter, OD Scanner, OV Scanner, Electrolyzer, Static Boots (page), Solar Helm (page), Silver Bar (even though it was removed, this confuses several new people), a Page on Fuels (don't give away the Secret Superfuel Recipie, but inform people you can use dusts and cells to make better fuels in a canning machine and give them calculations in "Spoilers"), and a page on Hardened Construction Foam, including blast resistance, attributes, colors, ect.

    Is there anywhere else where Al and everybody keeps the community a little more up to date? Or are they taking the secretive stance on ic farming to a whole different level?


    lol, not really to my knowledge, i'm sure they have their own person Spreadsheet online of what they are developing in order but as for what ideas are currently being considered, posted, in developement, and other side forums... i do not believe there are any. there are a couple Spoiler Threads around here somewhere in regards to Superfuel recipies and farming but they aren;t too in depth on the farming part cause alblaka doesn;t want specifics or coding given out about that or you'll get banned. as for what all has been suggested and what all is going on i can fill you in on most of your questions. if you wish, toss me a Private Message with as many questions about ideas or concerns of the like and i can answer then to the best of my abilities and help ya out with other developments with current innovations.

    I hope your Solarroof is as lagfree as possible. Good idea with the Tincable-Bars but i will never use a solardesign that causes so much Enet-Lag.

    that particular design if usually for desert bases and usually only contains 30 or so solar panels. this is usually the only appication that solar panels are allowed on my server for charging stations. but currently non exsist since the server if relatively new. as long as there aren't over 400 solars in a 180 by 180 area my server can handle it just fine though.

    i love the mod, added it to my server yesterday and used the majority of my resources that i gathered for the passt 12 hours of play creating like 8 advanced and 2 hybrid solars, i hear alot of people complaining that these recipies are to expensive, specially on the UUM aspect of it. so let me slap them all down.


    i noticed people running with the whole "(whiny voice) but it takes 200 minutes before you start getting profits from it". ok so what? leave your computer on over night and BAM! there you have it, it's paid for itself and made additional profits over night. considering this is an "AFK self sustained" power source it's the best version of it's kind, making this better then reactors even though the final one is far more expensive then a reactor. but once you get like 3-4 of the Ultimate Solars which you could get in like 24 hours of mining and UUM generation. then you'd be set for life basically and you can just keep exponentioally increasing your gains till you have 1-2 MassFab6s churning out matter. in the end these will provide you with all the minerals you need and will not only save you on time and effort they will easily pay themselves off in the long run. i for sure will be making atleast 6 of the ultimates by the end of the week if work allows and will use it as an Ore Factory and production for the factory on my server using Trade-o-mats for players that need resources and armor.


    P.s. i'm pretty sure these solar panels are cheaper since you could make Iron for the CompactSolars from UUM and then make them that way :p but with these you don;t have to worry about Server Strain from all the smaller panels and can upgrade them regularly, they might be more expensive, i haven't done all the calculation but i think i'd still prefer these even though they take longer to make.
