wel, i gave this some thought.

conclusion:
combining machines is OP dont do it.

giving them more slots, seems like an good idea to me

adding variable EU ussage's and efficiency's also sounds good.

overall, good idea

while true balance would be impossible the OP-ness of combo machines and tools can corrected by randomly assigning the machine flaws like reduced speed and efficiency or the tendency to explode and thats assuming you get the machine to randomly spit out a combo machine for you in the first place. a perfect combo machine would be very rare indeed

PS: you really thought I say that hoping someone will accept what I suggest ?

i think this part got lost in translation

Quote from GregoriusT

Intressting. What if we need it for inventing all the Basicmachines before we can go Industrial?

possible as far as i know. but personally i didn't want to totally copy thaumcraft i was thinking more along the lines of a way to implement less than perfect suggestions(like dirt batteries) by using randomness as a counter balance

i for one would like to see booze fuel replace biofuel cells

Quote from MatLaPatate

Okay ... then I will be sad for all my life

or you can code your own add on. but crying will get you no where if that's what your trying to do

EDIT: also this http://www.industrial-craft.net/?p=366

i say build multiple cheap reactors instead of 1 big casuc

Quote from mijnboogje

i dont know... sounds like fun. and alot of coding...

in the end "a lot of coding" is up to the devs i wouldn't be surprised if this did make it to the todo list it would be by the skin of its teeth and on the bottom (want base-in-a-box first)

Name: inventing table

Description: the inventing table would let players try (and fail) to invent better machines, tools, and generators
boiled down here is how it works...
[undetermined amount of EU]+[undetermined amount of experience points]+[ingredients for a normal crafting recipe for a machine, tool, or generator]=[a one in something chance of producing a machine, tool, or generator with unique randomize and hopefully beneficial stats] to fail the one in something chance means you lose your ingredients. some possible buffs and nerfs for the players inventions could include
1. improved/reduced efficiency
2. chance of explosion or breaking if operated for to long with out a break
3. extra output or input slots
4. improved/reduced overvoltage protection
5. wild effects like causing mobs to spawn when in use
6. harm zones(like Tesla coils)
7. improved/reduced internal power storage
8. improved/reduced operating speed
9. stuff like getting 4 rubber instead of 3 out of a piece of resin
10. combo machines (generator/ canning machine, compressor/ extractor, mining drill/macerator so on and so forth)
EDIT: chance of success could be manipulated by the number of machines and book cases around it like an enchanting table

Recipe: totally up in the air

- Hayo!

its like watching a german episode of sesame street

Quote from GregoriusT

Railline = pay once use unlimited
Teleport = pay per every use

So after a certain amount of uses the Rail is better even if a bit slower and i don't know if a Teleporter can Teleport you outside the loaded chunks.

And why a ton of Coal? Oh moment you are using Railcraft, but seriously, why Coal if Highspeedrails are not costing Woodties.

with solar, water, wind, burning scrap, scaffolds, charcoal, and the sheer power of uranium how much eu it costs each time isn't that big of an issue

just as the title says a bunch of threads that were on the first page of the suggestion forum when i went to sleep are now in the archives and I'm curious as to why that is

i don't care what steve's face looks like since endermen have surprised me more times than i want to admit i have a constant pumpkin helmet and custom texture pack policy i just have to find/make a good headless houseman skin to go with it

i would only go nerf route if it would correspond with new content being added like machines and generators beyond nukes and mass fabs other wise i prefer buff route

we can go the nerf route or the buff route with this
nerf route: new crafting table needed to make all advanced type items(anything with advanced in its name and all that is derived from them)
buff route: new crafting table is more efficient at crafting items and uses fewer ingredients (so an electronic circuit would need 1 redstone dust instead of 2 or something like that)

so an ic2 branded power sucking "crafting table II" huh? unless its used to make thing that can't be made with a normal crafting table i don't see why people can't just install the crafting table II mod

vs. a ton of bronze, iron, wood, coal, redstone, and gold for a proper rail line? and we can always suggest teleporting be made cheaper

Quote from Punnikin

I understood what you said. I thought my idea would add a bit more of a realistic touch, as the machine wouldn't have the recipes magically stored in it upon creation.

*points at floating dirt block* if you ask me it doesn't need a realistic touch

carts are entities and entities are teleportable right? so why not just cut out the rail and use teleport pads under your storage carts? no need for trains

Quote from Punnikin

Yes Lurker, yes. Having to have already built one and fed it to the machine in order for it to learn the recipe would be like teaching the replicator what it can build.

that isn't what i said at all im say you shouldn't have to teach it any thing the table will just tell you what it can make with the resources on hand

Quote from raa1337

Those are child's play to what I'm suggesting.

I'm talking 10+ Trillion EU bombs.

Essentially.

how about different recipes for different energy capacities of bomb for example



makes a high capacity bomb while



is a low capacity bomb
also how about adding the option of making the blast directional?
