the advantage to higher altitude is you can build more compact safe wind farms

the is no rain in the desert maybe you should try there next?

the q&a says bone meal doesn't work i was the one who asked

the q&a also says the number of dirt under a crop affects nutrients

flint and steel only makes a small spark so it should be the same with electric lighters its like the steel wool and the 9v batter trick they teach you in boy scouts

cyclistbw: don't take this the wrong way but just out of curiosity are you a technic pack user?

@everyone else: if you read one of my previous posts here the reason he posted a reactor out of the blue was because I asked him to to help him build evidence to prove his point but he neglected to bring the rest of the evidence i told him not to come back without if he hoped to be taken seriously. so yeah i think we can say if he had any thing to be taken seriously its gone now so...

ABANDON THREAD! women and trolls first!

one more thing. WHO THE HECK HAS BEEN VOTING YES?! every one has been turning down this idea yet it has 8 yes votes. has some one been using proxies or something?

if it is mentioned any where predictable it will be on the front page

electric lighter: yes

electric fishing pole: no (think of a good story if you roleplay it well enough you can get away with any idea)

lossless laser: alblaka is already working on more weapons for industrial craft so this is unnecessary

minecraft and insustrial craft are not meant to be realistic (floating dirt block, plants that grow gold, no radiation) so if this is just an tempt to nerf nukes and geos in the name of realism i will have to say no. if this was an attempt to over haul the entire generator system to make widely different power sources from different configurations of interchangeable parts then i would say yes (but its not so i vote no)

while i was sleeping alblaka posted in the comments on the front page that he was going to add combustible lemons

so all you realists with no sence of humor or fun are free now to collectively cry NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

there is an idea on the front page the i think deserves some consideration
Name: combustible lemons

Description: it comes from a portal 2 reference by Cave Johnson(you can't get more HAYO! than Cave Johnson look at what he did with aperture science) the idea is to add a lemon crop with the following uses.

1.mix with ice and sugar to make a glass of lemonade which gives a speed boost in desert biomes
2.mix with gunpowder to make a combustible lemon which when thrown explodes with the force equivalent to a ghast fireball and can set near by blocks on fire

creating the question "if life gives you lemons what will you do?"

Recipe: (to tired use you imaginations maybe i will add something later)

or quote the turrets from portal

but if there is electric musicboxes then they must emit arcs in sync with the music

YES

NOO! you fool! you have brought up graphics cards! now you must read this and be burdened with the knowledge contained with in!

WING COMMANDER SAGA: THE DARKEST DAWN COMES OUT TOMORROW!

well for me it tomorrow its probably the 22nd already else where in the world by now

ok first off using intentionally enlarged text just digs yourself a deeper hole

second show me this mk2 that out puts 28million eu. how much does it cost? and how much would it cost to store all that power?how many solar panel could you make for the same cost? over the 2 hours that a rector would run how much power do those solar panels turn out. if you say any thing before doing all this math and coming back with the result I will assume you are not serious and are just trolling us.

third those fail safes don't work they just delay the inevitable. look at direwolf20's lets play his latest nuclear reactor in his lets play series. it exploded despite being cooled by powerful equivalent exchange items and using an addon made for shutting off the reactor before it got to hot.

and as for doing nothing to get 28million eu have you ever actually built a reactor?

don't force your masochistic ways on all of us if you want things harder for yourself then grab your self a normal generator, a detector cable, some redstone, a stack of tnt, and your imagination.

ok lets get started picking this apart
1. you did not follow the proper suggestion posting format (especially using the word [suggestion] in the title)
2. you offered no features that gives players better or at least different options
3. you don't know what your talking about
lets focus on point 3 shall we. so here is from news for you nuclear is not overpowered(in fact it maybe underpowered) it runs on a powerful but expensive model attempts to get better value out of it leads to increased danger. few people use reactors cause they think reactors are dangerous and instead spam solar panels, exploit bucket fed watermills, or pump nether magma to name a few over powered power sources available all for cheaper and less baby sitting than even a 100% safe nuclear reactor. reactors don't need a nerf they need a buff in the form of official fail-safes(IRL reactors have fai-lsafes to the point take if every one disappeared one day there wouldn't be rampant meltdowns) and cheaper ways to get started in nuclear power.

now lets talk about point 2 namely how to make a good suggestion. in 90% of cases the last thing you should ever do is walk in (especially on your second post in most forums) and say "things are to easy they need to be harder lets make this part harder with out adding anything to the functionality of the game in fact lets make it look like another that i like to play" a better idea would have been "can we add some auto radiation beams for base defense? we can in exchange make nukes harder to use so its not over powered" in this example we add a different way to use nuclear power and we open the plausibility of nerfing the nuclear reactors if people find the idea to overpowered.

now you are entitled to your opinion and your enthusiasm for the mod is applauded. I look forward to seeing what you think should be added to IC2.

if a modder does pick this up I nope they won't need me for any creative input. real life is creeping in and this will be my last post for a while.

just a final thought on the bronze jackhammer if it can be filled with 8 coal and coal is worth 4000 each that means the jackhammer has a internal power storage of 32000. 3 times that of the mining drill. so maybe 3 coal and a jackhammer in a 2x2 crafting grid will be more realistic to charge it(making it hold 12000 eu instead) also since there actually is no battery in the jackhammer I don't think you should be able to actually charge it with an electric source only maintain how much power it already has basically limiting it to batpacks and minerblocks.

good bye and good luck

i hear people go back and forth on copper vs. silver vs. gold allot the reason gold is so good is it doesn't corrode.

they don't speak english so this is their way of saying "alblaka add i lightning rod if i can be struck by lightning so can a lightning rod"

a hollow fruitless gourd? you mean like a pumpkin? i don't see this as helping with endgame power generation so i don't think higher tier melons will float

if alblaka actually adds it he is going to balance it out by making it possible to kill you at high altitude with the illusion of radiation. and remember the uranium cell may only have to be replaced rarely but the coolantcells will probably only give you 2-5 minutes flight time(compared to the normal jetpacks 1.5minutes) so i think it is expensive enough

in think turing into a different species casts the illusion of a reaction strong enough to generate eu going on.
