Melons come from melon plants, because melons come from melon plants. I can take floating blocks, the ability to carry uranium like it's pocket change, and crops producing redstone, but apple plants are the last straw. At least have some sort of fabricated logic behind it..

my thing is we already have a direct food crop(the melons) so there is no point to adding another crop that exists for no purpose other than food. now if alblaka adds apple cider to brewing or melon batteries I would change my opinion because it adds something that makes the two different

I'm sorry, I stopped reading at the underlined part... usually because that 'other stuff' is more expensive than you think...

Don't compare one world of resource prosperity to the 'game balance' of a single generator. I think this is also part of the misguided logic against all other forms of renewable energy...

Can we please ban all 'X is OP' posts now? It's almost like I'm playing WoW or SC2 again...

this time it seems to be isolated to a single individual who has a history of not knowing what he is talking about so i don't think having the devs regulate balance posts is necessary yet.

Two: ok pay attention and you might learn something. I'm guessing you built a wind mill and tested the line with an EU reader, got back an odd result, and instead of looking it up on the wiki you jumped to conclusions again. so here is how windmills work; the windmills instantaneous eu/t (what the eu meter shows you) fluctuates between 0-6eu/t at any given moment with it leaning more towards the higher or lower end of the scale depending on the effective height of the windmill. what you are proposing is that the windmill will break if the instantaneous eu/t goes above 1.5eu/t if that happens the long term eu/t of a safe windmill will drop to an avaerage of less than .25 eu/t under the must IDEAL conditions now does this sound like a good thing to you?

if you said NO then congrats you learned something and saved your self from looking like a noobish idiot by recognizing your mistakes. WELCOME TO THE COMMUNITY!

if you said YES and still think windmills are OP then GET LOST AND TAKE IT UP WITH YOUR SERVER ADMIN!

welcome to the forums
you have suggested something that has been suggested and denied before which means you violated this forums highest law of reading and obeying the stickies please run a search before posting in the future

I'd use single use batteries more often if i could make them out of gunpowder(they have the same ingredients) but I'm pretty sure the recipe needs the rubber for the battery casing and besides i always have plenty of rubber before i dive into the ic2 part of my games

WHO DISTURBS MY SLUMBER!!!

I really really REALLY doubt you did your math right a safe wind mill by the most generouse estimates generates an average of like 1.66 and thats if you build a stupid tall ugly space elevator like tower. that sort of power is balanced by 2 things first the previously mentioned height at which these must be set up and second the fact that they BREAK these things are basically fueled by IRON the most valuable item in ic2

hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr not
those are TREES
not what im talkin about
actual plants is what im talkin about
*facepalm*

id you if your contribution to the crops page wasnt so helpful to me

dude I'd you for being totally rude. also we have melon crops so whats the point?

Quote from FenixR

Frames does not achieve that already? (He mentioned it first)

i got
1)not every one uses red power and its not a total copy
2)if you can make sticky pistons why not sticky blocks
3) i can make a nicer looking moving island that doesn't have 3thick walls and frame borders every where
which one would you like to pick apart first? (bonus points if you answer like your on jeopardy)

Quote from Warlord_Mike

The proper term for this would be a "Proton Pack." (Sorry, nerd moment there XP)

Why stop at Ghasts, though? It could fire a solid stream of energy that deals extra damage to undead, but pitiful damage against everything else. And would take a LOT of energy to operate, as well...

Though one wonders if there should be an effect if people decide to cross the streams in SMP... XD

i was thinking proton pack but then you wouldn't be holding the gun in your hand cause its a pack(that and all the copyright mumbojombo) i stopped at ghasts because i thought i would get flamed for making a weapon but since thats apparently not the case I will edit the top post accordingly

yes there should be a effect for crossing the streams like the users blowing up or shutting off a portal

any thoughts on how traps could be implemented? or would that be to much

Quote from FenixR

... What?

And with what i mean that i don't understand what are you trying to suggest.

what he wants is when a block moves the block that is glued to it also moves

Quote from sliderpro

I am a bit too unfamiliar with forum,but I'll try

try and fail your still double posting

Quote from sliderpro

1) Hey,that's not that WE can change,but we're talking about things,we can affect.Maybe the feature would be added someday.Notch is obviosly,strange person,to add things like new planks,correcting some bugs and doing such stuff for months,while it is obvious,that minecraft itself isn't worth alot of play-time w/o mods.Vanilla minecraft is vanilla and mods are to bring new gameplay and complexity.
2)ehem..didn't get it
3)I sure enjoy it and would like things to become less straight-forwarded.Bringing complexity and different/difficult changes.If you don't need some functions,just dont use them.
4)ehem,no.I am admin myself.
5)ehem,no.I am not telling you anything.I am suggesting and ideas are to be polished to perfection,not just "maan thats too dificult/unusual/strange looking and smelling/OP",as this sucks

1) yes you can change that ask the forge devs for more hooks. until then what you want to do is to stick an accurate scale model of an ak47 in the hand of a lego minifig it looks stupid
2)if you think solars or green gens are op as implemented then using the realism argument is the wrong approach because it would be unrealistic for those same nerfs to not be applied to the fuel consuming gens
3)if i make the game easier you can take up challenges to get your difficulty fix if you make the game harder those changes won't be optional for me
4)then install terrafima craft smp now
5)you think this sucks and yet your playing it? industrial craft isn't about polish its about utility i think your shopping in the wrong store dude

Quote from SpwnX

I'd rather use glass fiber, diamonds are not that rare in my opinion [if you do strip mining]
Gold cables loss should be lower than copper as it is better conductive than copper... but thats devs decision.

actually copper and silver are better conductors golds big RL advantage is the connectors don't oxidize

Quote from sliderpro

I didn't specify the value,by which cells get used up faster.To lose this advantage in 2 cells reactor,cells must deplete 2 times faster.Thats too much,obviosly.What makes you think,that cells cant deplete,like,10% faster per 1 cell attached?They sure can and you won't lose that benefit.

first you make quoting FAIL fix it
second tweaking nukes is serious business cause you can screw up peoples worlds by turning safe reactors in to explosive ones. i don't think your changes are worth the effort
third if you want a harder game play terrafirma craft

there could be a problem with people gaming the system by using proxies and setting up multiple accounts to shut down threads they don't like

Quote from sliderpro

Yeah,in some way they are..like for ~10-20 block transfer,but as I used to play,it's really much faster to put a storage,fill some energy crystals and transfer them through BC pipes,or old fashioned way which is even faster.Isn't it?

battery passing is kinda an exploit but not every one has BC installed hence the existence of gold cables, there are more recipes coming, and you can also use them to make glowstone dust, and an effective electric fence

Quote from sliderpro

There is something that disturbes me - when you place several uranium cells next to each other,the reaction goes faster and with more heat,right? so,Uranium cells should,obviosly,be getting used up faster.

the point of pairing uranium cells is to get more eu out of each cell if the cells get used up faster then they lose this benefit and there is no point in building large reactors which some people do for fun. now ask you self "do i want to piss off these guys who know how to make nukes by taking away their favorite toy?"

Quote from sliderpro

Yeah,there surely IS something what is sure - everything needs maintaince.Solar panel (panel itself) gets dirty over time.Depending on their working mechanics,the need oil for cylinder,highest quality water,inside wire replacements..man,tons of everything.

My idea is having different recepies for solar panels,like long unforgotten 2 copper cables and generator for basic/cheap/whatever you call it/ solar,then our modern recepie,and some *higher quality* solar. Maybe,each of them could produce slightly different eu/t.
But the point is,having durability for machines,like for tools or having a *sure* working time and after that,possibility of breaking.It seems more-or-less realistic.
Another idea is to add scheme of *insides* of a machine,where working parts of machine can be checked.So,if some thing break,you replace it and everything is ok.That seems even more realistic.

is it to much to ask to go for a week with out some one having to throw in their repetitive 2 cents on this subject? we've been over this here are the magical shutdown arguments AGAIN

1.THIS IS SPARTA MINECRAFT! this is a world of floating dirt, coal fired furnaces with no exhaust, and the ability to stuff server hundred cubic meters of stone in my jeans pocket NOTHING is for sure
2. if realism is applied to green energy then it has to be applied to all energy therefore re-leveling the playing field and keeping solar "on top" as some would put it
3. the user base is used to a certain level of convenience and fun if you want things to be harder play terrafirma craft
4. if your proposing a nerf do to an experience you had in a smp environment take it up with your sever admin
5. if your proposing a nerf do to an experience you had in a ssp environment then shut the hell up you can't tell me how to play

Quote from Impossible4

The amount of tin required to make a can is proposterous. and unless you are using equibalent exchange it can be hard to get enough tin to get all of the rotten flesh out of your inventory http://forum.industrial-craft.…f/images/smilies/mfsu.png

all of you who obviously don't test things before posting "fixes" get this through your thick skulls the reason cans cost so much is because YOU CAN REUSE THE CANS! and another thing ITS TIN! the world is lousy with it and if you need more just have ic2/rp2/and forestry generate ores at the same time you'll have more tin then you know what to do with you won't even bother macerating it anymore. so stop wasting our time

p.s. if you don't have enough space to store all your food then support this suggestion-> http://forum.industrial-craft.…page=Thread&threadID=6218

its more realistic that fertilizer from scrap that was probably made from farmed cobble +1

Quote from Sebra

Paralizator? Not real enough for me. Especially rubber shielding for EM wave.
Heater? Most real of those, but water vaporization is too much. Also too deadly and not needed.
Freezer? Cannot be real. Is it only to cool reactor?

first you don't seem to like any of todays suggestions
second floating dirt block, walking skeletons, lava in my pants, mininglaser, teleporters, massfab, plants that drop gold, nether wart(now a crop which means ic2 recognizes the nethers existence), jetpacks, ELECTRIC jetpacks, home made nuclear reactors, weaponized tesla coils, nano armor, quantum armor, do i really need to go on?
