Sorry if you updated a while ago, but still, I am glad you're using my textures. If you need more textures, you know who to ask.

I love it. But i have teleport pipes and it won't work when I connect the energy engines to a wooden conductive pipe, then to a power teleport pipe. It doesn't turn on. Would it be too much trouble for you to make it compatible with the additional pipes add-on for buildcraft? Thank you

Uh, hello? It does work, you just need to put a conductive pipe BEFORE the teleport pipe. Wooden Conductive pipes don't work.

I cant seem to find the configuration for 2:5 ratio, i wanna change it for my SSP mode.

You're looking at the wrong config, that's BC-IC2 mod, not transformers.

With your Mod I rly want a bigger think as MFSU I had 2x60 Biomass Tanks into IC Energy converted and I have rly a too big MFSU Room Maybe you can add a Ultra MFSU with space x10 or maybe 100 but with 512 out?

Is this really what you think he was intending? Because that doesn't really transform anything now does it?

If you payed attention, no matter what you do pipe-wise, items will land in the first spot, then the other ones. I propose you make the machine "pipe-smart," as it will promote automation. In fact, it'll make my agriculture testing prototype actually work.

With your comments, i seriously doubt you have a really good one. You don't even seem to get the point of this post.

I doubt you even get my message, the topic has a terrible idea, and I'm trying to improve it. And besides, why add an IC2 machine that doesn't use EU?

Quote from FenixR

Why would you do that if the Reactor Already produces energy so you can make your furnace work!

Seriously people, Get a brain! a working one!

I have one, a very good one at that! You know what, scratch this entire block, and allow the induction furnace to heat up next to a reactor. It would draw and reduce the reactor's heat, and provides a faster furnace. And it won't get power from said reactor. It'd be a slightly better coolant than water, but you shouldn't rely on them.

Is the 1.95b version ready? Because I've been waiting for a while now.

What if it used reactor heat to cook items?

Quote from Snyke

Ah okay. Only problem I have is with the changing efficiency. Main goal from this addon is to make sure the conversion is as efficient as possible.
I could make it that it needs like a kickstart to get things going, and then once it's heated it'll convert as it's supposed to and will not cool down - unless it runs out of fuel.

Came up with another idea though, how about some kind of super furnace that takes the fuel, and uses it to convert stone into lava, which you can burn in geothermals.

Scratch what I said, make the heater and cooler a component of the engine, and the regulator says the heat, sets the heat, and uses power for what I stated. Sounds doable?

Quote from Snyke

Sorry about that, I've had my finals this week. Hadn't responded yet because I haven't figured out how I thought it should be yet.
About your idea, you're supposed to put the regulator inside the engine? Like an ic2 upgrade?

Uh, no. You place them beside the engine, because how are you going to power them inside an engine that doesn't accept power?

Really? Five days without a single post? That's sad.

Quote from Snyke

I need some ideas here. I don't want a simple block where you pump in fuel and get EU.
I want to implement some kind of advanced system, for example: the fuel generator heats up the blocks around it, and then they generate electricity - or something like that.
I am also gonna try make the blocks look special (like engines/ most thaumcraft blocks).

Let me do this...
"Your engines can burn fuel because they produce MJ, but to produce EU, a much more complex process is needed. Your engine that makes that tasty energy units needs to heat up, and the hotter, the more efficient burning. However, it can explode with this heat reaching higher than bedrock's melting point (concentrated to the engine of course.) You need to add our patent cooling system, which cools it, but stunts the engine's efficiency. You can mix the two with an advanced electronic circuit and some diamond gears to form our regulator, capable of using a GUI (what is that, anyway) to control your heat. You want the recipes? Oh here you go: (forcefields [the little squares] are nothing)"

No iridium drill? I am disappoint. No offense though.

Quote from ultimate_omega

I'm not the most social being either. And I'm not that great at discerning social cues... Anyhow, I installed your textures and they really fit the mod really well. Perhaps the author will consider using them as the default textures?

... like he did with my pneumatic generator textures? I don't have a large doubt he won't.

Quote from ultimate_omega

@_@ I've been around mods long enough to dive deep into their zips to modify sprites.

Do you think I was just talking to you. And your shock, I am not the most social being...
(insert border-line autistic reference here)

Quote from ultimate_omega

Damn, those are some nice textures.

*claps* My good man, you speak the truth. And they didn't even take me an hour!
Oh and if you want to install them, place them in the mod's sprite folder. You'll find it... someday.

Quote from MagusUnion

Oh yay! And here I was taking a shotgun guess at what the numbers were... lol!

So to quote from the old Power Converters thread:

So for Oil, 20,000 MJ per bucket. That translates into x = 20,000*(5/2)... so, 2.5*20,000, which is 50,000 EU... unless my zeros are off...

Seems like alot... and it's too early for me to start doing math... halp!

You sir, are very correct. Not to be self-centered or anything like that, (or maybe I am) I give you spanking new engine textures!

I admit it was hard to find these textures... (insert i am disappoint reference here)

Quote from SeNtiMeL

Yea custom electric wooden pipe will be better. Sample: 1 item per tick (or second) consumes 1 eu, 2 items - 2 eu etc... And upgrade slot for transformers in engines will be great option. I hope new version with changes comming soon

I would like that idea... no more exploding wooden engine.

Now the upgrades for the engines...

Overclocker upgrade- faster engine, less efficient conversion
Energy Storage- more energy buffer, needed for ultra-overclocking
Transformer upgrade- self explanatory, accepts higher voltage

Quote from Tomcat

well i already have a 32 engine powerplant feeding a HV pneumatic gen. I don't see any need for a direct fuel>eu generator, i prefer the planning and expense of a water cooled setup considering the HUGE amount of eu that is in fuel (500000eu per bucket ~480000 if you count the cost to refine) so by my calculations i have around 40 BILLION eu in fuel storage and another 120 billion in the umpumped oil deposit

* manically rubs hands* I wonder what damage to the world I can do with that EU...

Quote from bechill

I concur with the above, I think this addon is the best BC<->IC2 addon yet. I do wish someone would do up better textures for the pneumatic generators however, still 16x just better.

I also must agree to this, but I decided to take this request and give you these fresh textures!
