You mean, setting a 8x8x8 cube of TNT or simply the fact it "vanishes" an area of 8x8x8?
im saying despite what I said earlier given it strengths and weaknesses there are more effective griefs than tossing a base in a box. plus it might not pop out centered to where it lands (how much lava can you fit in a 8x8x8 space? 512 how much power can that make? 10240000EU intresting 
)
Azanor went too far then. Can anyone lend me a crowbar?
NOOOOO! that one of the big don't of first person shooters as soon as you pick up tools, weapons, or invent teleportation ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE AND HEAD CRABS START DROPPING FROM THE CEILING! 
thinking about it that is no worse than setting off some explosives
insane definitely insane a good item water fall should be made out out of either red matter or those purple portal blocks. 
it appears that it will compress any 8x8 area not just spit out a cookie cutter inflatable workshop am i right? can it be deployable with dispensors or something for more controlled placment?
i think it is neat,
but now to the mayor isue, what would it take to do so in terms of power? (is my isue:P)
not this again you last i checked no one wanted anything similar to this till alblaka said something I'm not going to let you kill it with being nitpicky over how much power it takes 
it would make a detector able consume some like .05eu/t, it will always emit a signal as long as there is sufficient power available, and the power could be switched on and off with a splitter cable. it basically in a quick and dirty way kills 2 birds(redstone wire insulation, and luminator revamp) with one stone.
EDIT: never mind i just realized you could do this if you put an induction furnace in heat-up mode on the end of the cable to constantly drain the power to trigger the detector cables. like this
.[induction furnace]--[detector cable]--[spliter cable]--[power source]

I always wanted to create something like this (original idea behind the TerraFormer) but never found a good concept.
I think, abusing NBT tags could result in some fun stuff in this regard... how about building a small 8x8x8 area, powering a nearby space compression machine and getting a "Base in a cell" which will recreate the compressed area upon throwing? :3
would the space compressor compress its self with the base or will i have to lug that, a wrench, and a power source along to?

YES!! long have i wanted some form of mobile base and every one just said "shud'up and wait for elloram to make frames" i'm all kinds of happy now 
(also see warp drive)
Description: simple hit a detector cable with a wrench and it will begin to draw energy to emit a redstone signal instead of just working when another machine down the line is drawing energy useful for CF concealed redstone mechanisms and controlling the new 1.2 redstone lamps
there is an identical suggestion on the same page 6 posts down I can have sympathy if your new and didn't run a search before hand but this is ridiculous I'm calling in a naplam airstrike on this one to flame it in to oblivion.
if its just topped up with metal it won't need a crafting table if steve can make nuclear reactors with just a hammer and saw then he could repair bronze tools with his bare hands(or he could be using the very tool he is repairing).
and just to make sure we don't lose track the basic idea was(boiled down even more)
[some bronze tools]+[plus undetermined item]=[a tool that can efficiently fill the role of multiple tools]
either alblaka added some thing or one of us is going to look very stupid trying to place crops on anything but dirt
Display MoreSometimes I feel that this section of the forum is totally useless. This extreme 'sorting' of ideas is redicolous. Sure there are some 'not that great ideas' but some of the arguments to 'put those ideas down' could apply to every suggestion. Every single one.
If someone suggested a crop system before it was introduce I guess it would have gotten the same response.
I think a mobile base to grind up and compress resources from your mining trips would be great. But I would like it more as some kind of tent or something.
or slow inefficient hand held machines or Macgyver'ed machines! http://forum.industrial-craft.…t=macgyver%27ed#post46341
the problem i have with base in a box is it removing blocks that get in it way it seems like a pretty quick way to screw up a reactor with out having to mine through the blast shielding
maybe a mobile tardis-like base?
While this is an interesting sounding idea, what's wrong with making a nether portal and sucking up a lava ocean?
because no one likes the nether? because ghast noises are frigg'n creepy? because i would like to take a nap with out horribly dieing in a fireball of high explosive death?
if you still want to control which side something emits redstone signals take a look at computercraft
Not directly even if its the same principe to get it to work. And the "ZPM" was only an OP-Tool for infinite Energyproduction.
or a rare survival mode tool of massive power storage
edit: if you actually pay attention to star gate the tech is by the laws of physics impossible to stabilize with out being able to cycle through many different universes to minimize damage and make time go backwards to undo explosions
It could require a nether sand/netherrack block beneath the block to work.
thats more reasonable than recreating hell
my idea is just as logical and easy to integrate and isn't OP to boot and repair can be simple (as sebra puts it just add metal) vs. running back to your batbox to charge
which is now possible thanks to nbt tags?
