  • [suggestion] use of cauldrons, glass bottles, and other liquids with watermills

    go ahead and run away if you want
    1. or not :P but seriously Its not that hard to grasp Fenrix. You place your cauldron next to your watermill. Then you right click on the cauldron to fill it, and if there is space in the watermill's internal buffer the watermill will drain the cauldron.


    2. If shape is your concern use a texture pack. What I meant is instead of using the bottle as a cell you use the bottle as a bucket. Or rather you place the water bottle in the fill slot and you get an empty bottle back this would still be an improvement because empty glass bottles stack unlike buckets.


    3. Then like I said make a better watermill. But aside from lava I don't think other fluids will be any worse than the typical unrefined river and ocean water steve throws in the watermill.

    1) Cauldrons are decorative

    and this suggestion changes that

    2) Glass Bottles are not "Industrialish" enough, besides you do know that you CAN'T stack Water bottles.

    "industralishness" is debatable and use them like buckets instead you can stack the empty bottles buckets will have their place filling cauldrons

    3)Its called WATER-mill for a reason, other liquids like lava would just destroy the internal workings of it.

    [insert minecraft physics excuse here] you can submerge a chest and keep wood in the same inventory as a lava bucket. or make a recipe for a reinforced stone water mill

    so the cauldron idea is instead of opening the watermill gui and juggling with and buckets in your hot bar cause your to cheap to make cells you can just fill a cauldron that is adjacency to the watermill and the watermill can pull from that. the cauldron is super neglected so as far as I could find bc liquid pipes don't interface with it so the watermill would be just as auto-resistant as it is now. the cost for this convenience is your sacrificing a block that could be passively generating power


    the glass bottle idea is that you can use glass bottles as water cellsbuckets. after running the math it seems to cost around 1000 eu for 4 water cells1200 eu minimum for a bucket vs. 400 eu for 1 glass bottle straight from sand vs. over 1000 eu for a glass bottle from cobble the watermill will return an empty bottle


    the "other liquids" idea is since watermill are supposed to run off running fluid why not be able to run it off any fluid? basically the water mill will fill up and run the same no matter what fluid you submerge it in or feel like wasting directly be it milk, coffee, booze, potions, lava, bio fuel cell, mod fluids like slime, oil, biogas, so on and so forth EDIT: don't forget mushroom stew (mooshroom power for all :D )just forget no one likes this. consider this part dead if you have nothing nice to say about it.


    edit: just found out water bottles unlike empty bottles don't stack so replace cell with bucket in the above suggestion or...
    4 glass blocks = 4 beverage bottles that stack and hold water or booze

  • [Suggestion] Map Album

    Quote from CiderCraft

    Not exactly sure how "industrial" this sounds, but ignoring that it's definitely an interesting idea. Keeping an eye on this.

    maps, plans and documents are part of industry to and those who carry them are hated and feared by all.


    I +1 this idea


    but if we really want some high techy way to do this we could bring up satellites again and try to keep it just to spy satellites this time no orbital death rays or solar harvesters please

  • [Suggestion]: Undo food system overkill

    Quote from GregoriusT

    That's a great Idea, this way the Suit not really gets nerfed and it makes canned Food useful. I ever wondered why it can generate Foodpoints out of EU and nothing else. That way the Quantumsuithelmet is a highly sophisticated Canopener.


    Underwaterbreathing with EU is realistic enough, because it makes the Oxygen in the Water to breathable Air, via electrolysis.

    mass fab technology. but I'm for a lower tech non-quantum "nutrients smoothie"/soda drinking hat you know the ones with cans on the sides of your head

  • Suggestion: Carbon fibre/rubber boats (not a lava boat!) - Now an addon!

    Quote from GregoriusT

    Maybe because CiderCraft had thought a bit about that before posting? The only good Ideas came from people who thought about them before posting them. And you take my jokes so seriously that you Post them (referring to Nukelazor) and then every good Idea sinks a bit farther into the Suggestionswamp until it finally hits the Archive.

    1st. nukelazor is still a joke your the serious one now just ignore it it will archive eventually
    2nd. archiving is based on inactivity not what page it is on i'm saying people should practice some more thread necromancy because what is on the first page isn't the only thing to talk about
    3rd. WIRE CONNECTED TELEPORTS well thought out and it got screwed over by a rule change and then ignored cause every one was more interested flaming at the time
    4th. my point is the social norm should be threads people feel positively about should be given attention like this and bad ideas should be completely ignored and not have everyone stopping/bumping it to say its bad if its bad it sinks beneath the waves and is forgotten but right now most of the time its the reverse everyone(including me) shouts don't a poor thread and ignores the salvageable ones


    EDIT: blockradar? who said that?

  • Suggestion: Carbon fibre/rubber boats (not a lava boat!) - Now an addon!

    RawCode no one wants to make the game harder with out adding something good so yes by default we REALLY want to make the game easier. also to para phrase the video charlie the unicorn "SHUN THE NERFER! SHUUUUUNNNNN!" new boats don't things easier they make things less figg'n annoying

    Quote from raa1337

    This is an amazing idea compared to everything else that's been suggested for the last few days.

    wire connected teleporters were that bad? http://forum.industrial-craft.…ted+teleporters#post51624 the like 2 people who posted there said they liked it and then it dropped off the radar during the whole "hayo rule" fiasco the problem isn't a shortage of good ideas its that everyone only reads the front page and focus's on shutting down bad ideas and repeat suggestions this thread is only a rare exception
