    The UUM recipe for uranium was removed because it allowed for infinite energy and, when used right, could provide more energy than needed by the mass fabricator (not counting scrap production and other stuff).


    Back in Equivalent Exchange 4, there was a mobius->uranium recipe which met a similar fate in EE5 - allowed for infinite energy but in a much more overkill way.

    well yes, but that is why you make the chance of uranium incredibly rare, that way it's not as "overpowered" keep in mind that if uraniurm was 1 in 10,000 scrap boxes then it would cost 3.5 million energy in recycling power and blocks alone to get that 1 uranium. 3,500,000 EUs and 120,000 blocks used to get 1 uranium, i would not consider that overpowered. not anymore then allowing a player to make 1 uranium ore and toss it into a breeder reactor and make 8 fully charged cells.

    Cart chaining currently cannot be done without basefile modifications. Railcraft even has a few carts in its todo list which are waiting for cart chaining support.

    yeah i figured you'd have to alter some of the Minecarts file and basically give it an entirely seperate AI :(

    Wasn't trying to Say UUM isnt useful, I Just meant Past a quantum suit, it really Lacks a unique usage. Iridium is one of the densest metals Around In real life, and is heat/Wear resistant. Unfortunately it lacks some uses besides quantum suits. And personally to me, I find no incentive to keep it going in production.

    i've already made like 5 suggestions that everyone seems to agree with. Iridium blocks being the most appealing to everyone, it would consist of 4 iridium ore to made a block for both storage and 100% blast proof structures.


    and i had 3 spare suits but i scrapped my old server, now i'm waiting on the MC 1.2.3 compatible update

    Melon battery? Good idea. You can already craft 9 slices to one melon. Uninsulated cable above melon is good idea. But can be craftable as jack lantern.
    I think IC EU is not electricity, so one electrode would be enough.
    But Crop block do not have full melon. You will need to harvest-craft-place or grow wild melons.

    just don;t grow the melons in a Crop Block if you want a straight up melon block :)


    first of you did ok on presenting your idea, however gunpowder does not seem like a good idea. sounds more like your trying to make "Metal-Storm" ammunition then a battery, lol. also 1 gunpowder it equal to 1 coal dust and 1.25 redstone dust. which would make it alittle more expensive in the end.


    also a "lemon battery"? first off how are you "growing" iron and gold? if your refering to harvesting via Mob drops then it's faster just to go dig for gold or use UUM to make gold. also you cannot harvest Melon Blocks cause when you destroy them you get melon slices, unless maybe you use silk touch, not sure about that one. also their used to be Lemon Batteries LONG LONG ago like in ancient egypt using Lemon juice and a copper tube and some other stuff, but the basic concept was the copper used the acidity and high PH to create energy from the reactive hydrogen in the lemon juice, this produced about as much as a AA battery in real life for every 20 "1 gallon" lemon batteries. so it seems alittle over exaggerated if you could even harvest the melon blocks in the first place.


    the only alternative is basically you place an uninsulated Copper Cable ontop of a grown Melon and it would turn into a Melon Battery, like how you make snow golems, that would instantly and basically contain 10,000EUs at .25EU/t for a small instant "renewable" resource that you can use for small amount of power near the start of the game. maybe this could be inplimented into the Crop Analyzer system to make and grow more acidic Melon's for stronger batteries, like one that would contain 2million EUs and output at 32eu/t? this would alteast be a significant reward for growing crops up to the higher tiers

    Wiki says 5 EU.


    that and if a wind generatpor is going at full speed the wind generator can tear itself apart, it's best to keep their affective block under 80....... wait a minute! how does this affect wind turbines with the new 256 world height? :D *dramatic music as i prepare my fiber optic wires*


    if they are left as is then 1 wind turbine will produce 2.7EU/t average under normal operation, but could spike as high as like 24eu/t in a thunderstorm, i wonder if this would cause them to almost instantly break.

    lol, "Ore Generation"=Quarry fed by nuclear reactor, Cobble and dirt fed into recyclers, scrap from recyclers and nuclear power fed into MassFab= Ore generation? :D there is this whole thread summerized up :p


    ok so now, back to the actualy idea of the OP.


    are there plants you can grow using the Crop system that grow Ores?

    Nice to hear that someone really did that, lol.


    yup, lol, was so much easier on my server and they still got all the power they ever needed from my reactors, before the 1.2.3 update i had 12 Mark2-3 reactors going pumping into a roughly 1.4billion storage wall, this was then either cabled to their house or i sent them Lapatron Crystals in the form of a Bank Office Air Tube like system so they could toss a lapotron in their MFSU to power their house as needed.


    EDIT: P.S. once BC is updated with IC2 i could use Piping Gates to make it autosend them a fresh charged crystals when they mail me a dead one back.

    hmm, so it's basically the same thing just different manners of doing so, i think i'd go with the Powercrystal's converter, that way i could more easily use my nuclear reactor's to power quarries.


    and just to kind of keep this "on topic" this would be my ore generator! :D

    Then teach it to them! Or say "i know how to make it more efficient!" and steal all their Solars, Trololololol.

    lol, that is basically what i did on my server cause like 4 people had each made 70-100 and it was starting to cause server problems, so i stole all the solar panels and told them i would make them way more effective and did some crazy shinanignas and put them in the sky, and then used a Landmark from Buildcraft to make a black laser (red going through blocks) and actually had the solar panels doing nothing, then i powered my house with nuclear reactors and asked them for all their uranium since they didn't need it anymore.
