    i prefer to do it the other way around to not waste even a single EU by emitting packages bigger than what the MFSU can still take before it's full. i let the MFSU emit a signal when empty, which activates a state cell to let the reactor run for a set time. a reactor with 1840EU/t needs around 270s to completly fill one MFSU (my calculator says 271,739s).
    and AND gates are definitly the way to go, since that's the function you're looking for

    I would disrecommend the use of Statecells, as they Reset after Chunkload!

    Or wind or nuclear if you want cheaper energy. Solar power has a terrible output/resource ratio IMO.

    Or Generators, or manned Watermills. Oh moment, these were all the vanilly IC²-Energysources. Well, everything has pros and cons in Energyproduction. Even my Lightningrods (terribly expensive).

    I really don't know much about redpower2, I have it however.

    WHAT??? You *beeep* *bleeep* *beep* *beeep* *bleep* *beeeeeep*! [/just kidding]

    I've used the deployer a few times for my geothermal generator, basically filling buckets with lava from a tank then push them towards a lava cell factory.

    Any device that you can tell how much coal or whatever material to pick out of a chest?

    I think its name is "Item Detector". It does what it's named for: Item detecting.

    basically I thought of a new generator for eu... a lightning rod could be crafted with a generator and a lightning post... the lightning post could be made with 5 refined iron in a upside down T shape.... hope you like the idea and add it...

    Why so large Characters? And why in Arial? BTW i made a Lightningrod-Addon and i tested the Rod on a REAL MC-Thunderstorm (these things are damn rare). I got three strikes from it (and i'm not out, lol again).

    That's just hilarious

    A Question: What's so confusing about IC² not being updated?
    As far as i know all the other good Mods didn't update too and if you ONLY use IC², then you should compare the Releasedates of MC-Versions, with the Releasedates of IC²-Versions and you will rapidly find out, that it takes more than just a Week to update a Mod (the 1.2.3 -> 1.2.4 Update doesnt count as there were no real changes to MC)

    this neither is a user manual nor a detailed description of how the machines work, so it doesn't have that much use.

    But it's all the Description from the Creator himself (of course i didnt add all the Machines and Devices), and isnt it a Machineencyclopedia?

    If anyone wants to read the Source, then go to the IC²-Wiki, go to your desired Article, click on history (on top of the Article), scroll for the earliest Article and click it.

    I extracted the good old Wikiarticles about IC²-Machines, HAYO!

    Electric Furnace


    Now, we got Iron Furnaces. And we got Redstone dust that for no apparent reason powers circuits indefinitely.
    What do you think we would make of this? Cake? No!
    We created a completely new Furnace for you, THE ELECTRIC FURNACE.
    As everyone knows, burning things to smelt stuff is reaaaaally old-school. It's like using a Commodore 64. And who's using one right now? Noone, right!
    An electrical powered device has 3 important advantages.
    First of all, without the wasteful burning of random stuff, much less energy is wasted during operation, meaning would could improve the smelting time of our all-beloved Iron Furnace by further 12.5%!
    Now, that alone would be a reason to instantly upgrade to Electric Furnaces, wouldn't it?
    BUT IT COMES EVEN BETTER!
    Instead of causing massive pollution and shamefully wasting ressources, Electric Furnaces are powered by, duh, ELECTRIC ENERGY! This energy is brought to you in form of our
    ueber-l33t T500-Rechargeable Energy Storation Unit. Or, for short: RE Battery.
    These little thingys can store quite high loads of energy and will power Electric Furnaces for a long, long time.
    But what happens if you just want to smelt 5 iron ore, wouldn't such an ueber-powerful battery be a waste?
    FRIKKIN NO! Because the 3rd advantage of an Electric Furnace is, it will not waste any energy if it isn't currently smelting something.
    You can just charge it up with a battery and then smelt what you want, whenever you want.

    Deal? Deal! HAYO!

    Macerator


    Did you ever feel like life was being unfair to you?
    Did you ever feel angered about your neighbour miner finding loads of minerals whereas you didn't?
    Now, did you ever take a look at his work station?
    Do you want to now why he had giant loads of valuable ingots to craft into more awesome stuff?
    HE HAD A MACERATOR!
    Stupid people (this does not apply to custumers or everyone reading this, but to everyone you personally dislike) smelt ore.
    What a shameful waste. You just smelt some ore out of the rock and then trash the remains? Nah, only idiots do that.
    Every Pro Miner knows, that 50% of a rocks mineral deposits are surrounded by massive rock and can't be obtained by smelting.
    For this problem, we invented the Maceratron-E-901!
    It uses the combined force of smart technology and brute force to break open every even so small part of stone, effectively doubling the efficiency of gaining ore.
    It takes some time, but will completely waste-free and 100%-sure turn the entire ore-rock into dust and then automatically filter the useless stone out.
    As a result, it will return you high-quality ore-dust of whatever material you dropped in there.

    And, you may guess it, this dust can be smolten into ingots! Isn't that great? You can easyly DOUBLE your entire ore production. Don't hesitate, BUY NOW, HAYO!

    Extractor


    Now, did you remember the puny little treetaps?
    Yes, the stupid small ones you need to feed abnormous amounts of wood just to get a small amount of Rubberballs to produce cables?
    It sucked, we admit it. And for this sake, we developed this piece of an most awesome machine: The Dejuicer-Device of Doom - D123!
    Powered by any energy source, preferably the perfectly-designed T500-Rechargeable Energy Storation Unit, this device can extact amazingly amounts of ressources from stuff.
    For example, it improves the ratio of gaining Rubberballs by an ultimate amazing 200%!!!.

    But not even that, this device can more! 'What?' do you ask? Now, that's a secret we will tell you later, HAYO!

    Compressor


    It's amazing how much stuff you can craft with a basic workbench isn't it?
    Big machines, boats, extremely nimble circuits, everything can be done just with a few tools.
    But though this great circumstance, there ARE a few things you just can't do. And you know that.
    However, this device can! Yes, we it can!
    Using most advanced technology, the Freakin Compress-O-Matic C77 can create a pressure of over 4000 Gibbl. What is Gibbl you ask?
    I don't know either, but it must be something frikkin awesome!
    The most ned use of this stunning ability is to create advanced materials, like steel plating and other platingly plating stuff. You know, these stuffs...
    ...
    HAYO!

    Canning Machine


    Weren't you ever peacefully exploring the vast landscape and got suddenly attacked by hordes of suddenly appearing, highly dangerous monsters?
    Sure, with the right equipment, exspecially if you are using our precious technology, you can fend these beast off. But somewhen, you get hungry, and what then?
    For long travels, you will need abnormous amounts of food. And as everyone knows, food takes up quite a lot of space in every backpack.
    Tin Cans can make your life much easier...
    if combined with the Unmobile Food Canning Machine GTA4!
    These device is capable of splitting ANY kind of sourve into it's basic components, mixing them up to a healthy, yet tasty mash.
    As well, it can fill this mash with an amazing speed into tin cans and seal them up for unlimited expiry dates!

    Recycler


    Now, you got the tools to harvest tons of everything. But what happens if all the useless stone and dirt piles up?
    Just buy yourself a sweet new Recycler.
    Recyclers compress, burn, obliterate and filter EVERYTHING you feed them. LITERALLY! It even ate my shiny diamond block... that wasn't really nice... ... HAYO!
    Who cares, because with this devices, i can turn piles of dirt into piles of useful stuff, including many NEW diamonds!
    And best of all: It's fast and doesn't use much energy, great, isn't it?
    Note: Not every recycling process does successfully return a piece of Scrap. Stop throwing in dirt and instead use valuable ingots, may that will change something.
    But, how do you even use the strange stuff coming out from the Recycler?
    Easy, just bunch some Scrap together, put a box around it and VOILA, it will suddenly turn into something useful! What exactly? Now... i don't know either, HAYO!

    Massfabricator


    This is it. The most advanced piece of technology avaible IN THE UNIVERSE, HAYO!It can perform basic energy into PURE MATTER. Actually, even into highly-industrial Universal-Useable Matter.
    Feed it enormous amounts of energy, and it will compress the energy via e=mc² into UUM. UUM can be transformed into quite any ressource known to humanity,
    simply by putting it in a certain pattern onto your workbench. Epicness at it's best.
    Due to being under research, currently there is no archive about which pattern could result in what, though.
    One of our scientists claims that feeding a certain material into the Matter Generator could cause it to work much faster.
    This material would need to be something which can be produced from ANYTHING, to contain the required molecular atom - stuff, ned by the Matter Generator.
    I wouldn't believe this statement, though.

    HAYO!

    Tesla Coil


    How do you defend your well-terraformed, high-costly industrial landscape from pesky animals/creepers/weirdos/thieves? Try a TESLA COIL, HAYO!
    This is it: THE latest piece of defensive technology avaible for free usage without the need to buy licenses.
    A Tesla Coil, already used by the Soviets to defend against the combined Allied army in the second altered-realm WW, is highly effective, well-ranged and absolute deadly.
    First of all, however, you need to charge the Tesla Coil with 5000 EU. Once charged, the Tesla Coil is on stand-by. To ACTIVATE it, apply a redstone trigger.
    As long as this Trigger is applied the Tesla Coil will start draining 2 EUs constantly to fuel it's extremely efficient targeting system.
    This system will target the first alive object (we will consider undead alive in this matter) within a range of ~4 blocks.
    Please take note, we do not take any responsibility for yourself zapping any part of your family/friends, including yourself.

    Then the Tesla Coil will unleash the power of technology in form of an extremely powerful, wall-penetrating and quite lethal energy bolt. Of course this will deplete the energy reserve of the Tesla Coil, which will thus need to be recharged again.
