agreed, there are several other uses that silver COULD be used for. actually now that i think about it, it would also be awesome if a Silver Block could accept any voltage and transmit 32eu/t packets, i could make an entire house out of silver blocks and then just place the machine where ever the hell i want to and not worry about power :p lol

i usually just make my roof out of Tin Cables and put a Glowstone Block every 6th slot, then i slowly fill in my roof with solar panels over time while i make all my reactors and what not. the tin cables work as a Creeper and spider proof netting that i can shoot arrows through. this is particularly handy to kill spiders. although alblaka gave me an idea, i can make dispensers filled with arrows and when it's time to kill creepers that are sitting on my solar panels i can just shoot off the dispensers from behind a wall. it'd be like playing Space Invaders in minecraft!

amm what do you mean by 8x8x6
pixels size. each block is like 16 by 16 by 16 pixels, so a pumpking would be like 1/6th a cubic block

Alblaka has coffee already finished.
he might have it done already, last i heard he deffinately said he was going to impliment it and Sky_Demon already provided him the Sprites, all he has to do is add the code. however; it seems kind of pointless to add any crops at the moment since the Cropnalyzer doesn;t even work in 1.81, it's bugged and cannot recieve a power source
which sucks cause i was REALLY looking forward to it :(. but if alblaka laready has completed Coffee then.. HAYO! -
And how many on these forums even attempt a CASUC, let alone can build a stable one? Not many. It's an incredible resource hog, as well as quite a bit of mental power must be dumped into it.
lol, not to mention like 20-40% of your EUs goes into making your ice. these are horribly materials inefficient, i spent like 6 hours at work yesterday with the reactor planner and a calculator doing calculations trying to find the absolute best set-up on my new server and i think it's going to be 5 reactors running on am old fasioned Redstone 5-Clock, this way i can have 5 6chamber Mark2-3 reactors power my house, providing 140million EUs every 5 hours. fairly resource heavy off the start but this is the most EU efficient design i could think of. the safest and most EU efficient design i could think of is basically the exactly same thing but using 12 reactors with 6 chamber...... that'll be a while :p
Edit: P.S. a Stable CASUC Reactor is actually very easy to make if your just going for EU production. you just make what is basically a Ice Block Flood Bath System using BC Pipes to attempt input of WAY more ice then needed. if you'd like a video i could easily provide one via youtube.

just setting up a proper reactor takes like 2 stacks of each mineral but gold and the nuclear reactor he is refering to reaquires all 6 chambers, water flood coolant, and have a full cycle/cooldown time of almost 5 hours. that 28mill in 5 hours, which is only like 77 eu/t average over that time, and that is IF (big IF) your server is still able to handle every single calculaion, there are usually 20 ticks per second but if a server starts getting bogged down due to Buildcraft items in pipes or to many IC2 solar panels then you can get as low as 8ticks per second, drestically reducing your nuclear reactor to basically 32 eu/t. that's the same amount of energy as 3-8 geothermals set up in the nether and those last for days if not a couple weeks if your lucky generating hundreds of milions of EUs, maybe even a couple billion if you were lucky enough to get a huge lava ocean that's like 10 deep which i've had happen on a few maps. nuclear reactors are by no means over powered and keeping in mind that a decent mark2.1-3 reactor has such a long cooldown time and relatively high maintenace, alot of people tend to stick with GeoThermals and Solars.

ff255away: almost everything in your paragraph has been suggestion apart from mind controlling the local population. even the cyborg (nano-bot modifications) have been suggestion and were liked by alblaka.

actually! better idea!. how about a Virtual Reality Projection (VRP) block. that when powered and right-clicked would allow you to fly around like your in creative mode but your actual character would stay in place at the block. this way you could use this VRP could be used to explore tunnel systems of ravines.

sweet. time to expand my storage and build a mob grinder
+ 
...?...profit!acording to the IC2 Wiki, the best superfuel recipe will give 120,000EUs, i have yet to discover this, have you happened to find it?

All this makes me thinking of a Cropnalizeraddon for Computercraft. Just put it next to the Computer, add E-wiring for energy and insert a Disk to save the Data of ALL the Seedbags onto, to list all the Crops you have produced, like in real science. Oh, and it would scan the Seedbag like a normal Cropnalizer.
interesting, i might look into it once i get everything on my server server back to the capacity it used to be between all the energy storage, Mass Fabs, Reactors, ect.
-
wow haven't knew that
oh now i understand. pritty fine idea but... no fun :DD i sort of like the way you have to charge something from time to time
i'm sure once the Cropnalyzer is actually fixed and i'm able to experiment with it and using Energy Crystals i wouldn't mind all that much but at the moment it's broke for 1.2.3 and that makes me pretty epically sad, i had been waiting to use this for months. now i'm just cross breeding while blind :p
would still be nice to not have to carry it around in my inventory though
-
I wish minecraft would have space
space station+ic2=EPICNESS :DD
would be interesting but i think that's more of a Rocket Science Mod thing, not so much Industrial. unless we pretty much turn this into "Harvest Moon" lolz -
i thought all those pumpkins were just from different angles, but i'd have then about 8x8x6 pixles in size.

1st problem in this sug. do we have wireless power transmiting in rl?
signals, pulses, ya. but not electrisity as i know.
sorry for sort of ruining your sug... i feel bad now..well, well first off, actually we do have Wireless electricity, it was originally discovered by Nikola Tesla to light lamps in a field quite a long distance away and was proposed as a use for power compnaies as early as 1094 but was never implimented using the "World Wireless Sytem"
however, i never said anything about making this a wireless device
i was talking about placing this thing just like every other Machine in IC2 and wiring it up, and they could either give it an internal storage device and make it energize like a Tesla Coil, or have it instantly drain power when it scans from a nearby MFS that it's connected to like a Teleporter does. -
update your Forge to 1.4.0.57+

I know bad English sorry
when you jump in the quantum boots. and when flying on jet pack. landing on the ground are lost lives. The higher the flight the more lost lives.i noticed with the jetpack if you fall from say 40 blocks high and then slow down your falling, even if it's to a near stop, and you touch the ground you die. you have to actually accelerate yourself up slightly for it to reset the "falling" as for quantum boots, i have not made them yet but i remember even back on IC2 ver 1.11 for MC 1.0.0, you'd still occassionally take fall damage from falling even with a Quantum chest plate on a rare occassion.

i was having the same problem last night.

Ever since the update, the reinforced doors textures are all messed up. the top of the door is pink and the bottom is green. The texture in the inventory is the same though, and they appear to be operating the same.
maybe it's an "Easter"egg? lolz -
it might be how your putting it all together, everyone on my server (6 people at the moment) had no problems getting their clients to work.
-
maybe solar panel upgrade for cropnalyzer? well it sounds nice but also sounds slow. it should have its own storage where it holds his solar energy. you would need to have it in your hand or hot bar for it to charge up... but when you think that solar panel gives 1eu/t and one full seed bag analyzint eats all battery... no logic...
why not just have it drain energy from a connected EU Storage Unit? like have an MSF slapped to the side of it for it's "battery"
