I said dirt to generalize, under the assumption it would turn the stalks into mycelium as well(which would result in them becoming dirt). But it doesn't seem to do that, only the tops. And it just so happens to have done this twice in the time I've started the topic. I know have a 3 mushroom stack. It's rather silly looking.

In the current 1.2.3 build, terraformers with the Mushroom biome setting will convert giant mushroom blocks into mycelium. Essentially, this could cause giant dirt platforms to occur. Kinda neat, really, but weird and a mob hazard at the same time.

Yeah, you have to be using the Latest build. You need minecraftforge 1.4.0.52 or newer, from what I understand.
Oh, wow, yep, worked like a charm.

I too am having problems with IC2, buildcraft works just fine though. The game crashes on startup only when IC2 is present. However, I'm using the recommended build.

Well, my idea was that they'd somehow develop along side players, because as previously stated, you don't want to get ganked at the beginning. And I'm not sure if there's a way for mob spawns to be limited by what's in your inventory. Maybe depends on an achievement system? But those can break easily, as I've seen every time I start a fresh .jar.

EDIT: At the massive idea mentioned above, perhaps we should see what 1.8 villages do, and base the robots off of that?
Maybe the robots could "take over" the villages?
Something like that's how I started formulating the idea, but I agree. Limiting to the extent of the village capabilities, maybe only changing one or two things, would be a good idea.

I think this is a good idea, but could use something more in it. Robots spawn at a 'factory' block that is generated on top of exposed stone and gather resources in an adjacent safe. Approaching the factory or safe turns the robots hostile. Eventually, they'll have a decent sized quarry, but resources will be expended by them as they are collected, so if you want to steal them, you need to make a move sooner or later.
Needlessly complex stuff, but for the sake of depth, and hell, it's fun to type:
When a resource type is consumed in X quantity, it modifies their behavior.- Coal makes them work and progress faster or more efficiently, may also increase endurance assuming they start building nano stuff.
- Copper(?).
- Iron increases their numbers or even adds a second type of bot.
- Tin makes them move faster because it's a lighter metal and building material(Albeit flammable ;)).
- Gold would expand their control area and hostility range or something.
- Redstone and Lapas +1 to tech tier(totals in +2 if/when they get both).
- Diamond makes them immune to fire/lava.
Allowing myself to stretch into the far fetched: They get obsidian and construct a nethermine that somehow collects materials from the nether. If you enter the same region in the nether you might notice a flying drone carrying blocks similar to endermen, but to a hub that ports it back. This gives access to glowstone which, well, that just makes them a bigger threat, and by this time, they've finished their development and switch to extermination mode.
Eventually, probably once they reach the copper phase, they start building defenses or barricading the factory and safe by building walls in a symmetrical pattern.
If you manage to break the factory you get a basic machine or a fresh advanced machine block. Looting the safe is its own reward, but never gives more than raw materials.
If any robots remain, they may rebuild the factory assuming they still have the resources.Take or leave any of it, I'm not married to the ideas here, its your mod, and it would probably take a dedicated team to do this. But I think IC² could use something that actually makes all the fancy equipment worth it. As is, I do fine against the standard mobs already, so I don't see much benefit to spending resources on fancy weapons other than the chainsaw. And the same ol' same ol' just isn't cutting it for me anymore, as I'm sure Killerbeez agrees on that point.
