For machine parts section:
Well sir, it looks like you have just ordered our state-of-the-art machine block! That's right, with this nifty device you cand do some DIY to make one of our lovely machines! You can even add some alloy and carbon plates to mak an advanced machine block! But sir, I bet you are thinking "Well how does this featureless block make so many things possible?" Well sir, the machine block uses some of that nifty Gibbl you keep hearing about to make all theese wonderful things possible!

This is good, however, this is more advert-like, not what should be in the user manual or the encyclopedia. But if I add an advertisment section, this will be there for sure!

Am I doing it right?

Hello valued customer!

If you are reading this, then you have most likely just placed down your very own Mega Macerator 5000TM and by reading this entry you are probably wondering, Almighty User Manual, how am I intended to work this monstrosity of raw grinding power? The answer is a simple 5 step process

1. Insert the block you want to be completely pulverized to dust into the top slot

2. Connect a source of energy into the Mega Macerator 5000TM, alternatively if your technological prowess is, let's face it, lacking insert a battery or other source of energy such as an Industrial Craft Machine Corp BatpackTM, into the designated bottom slot

3. Switch the lever located on the side of the Mega Macerator 5000TM, to tap into the raw destructive force of 12 interlocking gears!

4. Open the side compartment on the side opposite of the lever and, assuming anything is left, retrieve the macerated object from the side

5. Shout HAYO!TM as loudly as possible to the sky for you have just DOUBLED your ore output!

If you have tried it out, you may be wondering, but Almighty User Manual, what happened to the stone attached to the ore? Nobody knows, such is the brute power of the Mega Macerator 5000TM!

Disclaimer: Industrial Craft Machine Corp is not responsible for any injuries caused by the sticking of limbs inside the input slot of the Mega Macerator 5000TM or from any seizures resulting from the sheer HAYOness caused by retrieval of the macerated product

This is almost right, I'll be adding a slightly changed version to the OP. The names for the machines should be the ones from my language pack(because I used official terms as often as I could and offical-sounding terms where I couldn't, not because it's my language pack), but still thank you very much!

Quote from GregoriusT

But it's all the Description from the Creator himself (of course i didnt add all the Machines and Devices), and isnt it a Machineencyclopedia?

Yes, it's the original description, but it's made to tell the player what he has to do in a really funny way. This aims to tell the character, not the player what he has to do. And no, it isn't what I meant by machine encyclopedia, because it says what you throw in and what comes out (let's say, a cookbook) instead of how it works (to stay with the cooking example, a text that explains how the oven is heated and so on). If I offended you in any way I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to.

I extracted the good old Wikiarticles about IC²-Machines, HAYO!

Electric Furnace

Now, we got Iron Furnaces. And we got Redstone dust that for no apparent reason powers circuits indefinitely.
What do you think we would make of this? Cake? No!
We created a completely new Furnace for you, THE ELECTRIC FURNACE.
As everyone knows, burning things to smelt stuff is reaaaaally old-school. It's like using a Commodore 64. And who's using one right now? Noone, right!
An electrical powered device has 3 important advantages.
First of all, without the wasteful burning of random stuff, much less energy is wasted during operation, meaning would could improve the smelting time of our all-beloved Iron Furnace by further 12.5%!
Now, that alone would be a reason to instantly upgrade to Electric Furnaces, wouldn't it?
BUT IT COMES EVEN BETTER!
Instead of causing massive pollution and shamefully wasting ressources, Electric Furnaces are powered by, duh, ELECTRIC ENERGY! This energy is brought to you in form of our
ueber-l33t T500-Rechargeable Energy Storation Unit. Or, for short: RE Battery.
These little thingys can store quite high loads of energy and will power Electric Furnaces for a long, long time.
But what happens if you just want to smelt 5 iron ore, wouldn't such an ueber-powerful battery be a waste?
FRIKKIN NO! Because the 3rd advantage of an Electric Furnace is, it will not waste any energy if it isn't currently smelting something.
You can just charge it up with a battery and then smelt what you want, whenever you want.

Deal? Deal! HAYO!

Macerator

Did you ever feel like life was being unfair to you?
Did you ever feel angered about your neighbour miner finding loads of minerals whereas you didn't?
Now, did you ever take a look at his work station?
Do you want to now why he had giant loads of valuable ingots to craft into more awesome stuff?
HE HAD A MACERATOR!
Stupid people (this does not apply to custumers or everyone reading this, but to everyone you personally dislike) smelt ore.
What a shameful waste. You just smelt some ore out of the rock and then trash the remains? Nah, only idiots do that.
Every Pro Miner knows, that 50% of a rocks mineral deposits are surrounded by massive rock and can't be obtained by smelting.
For this problem, we invented the Maceratron-E-901!
It uses the combined force of smart technology and brute force to break open every even so small part of stone, effectively doubling the efficiency of gaining ore.
It takes some time, but will completely waste-free and 100%-sure turn the entire ore-rock into dust and then automatically filter the useless stone out.
As a result, it will return you high-quality ore-dust of whatever material you dropped in there.

And, you may guess it, this dust can be smolten into ingots! Isn't that great? You can easyly DOUBLE your entire ore production. Don't hesitate, BUY NOW, HAYO!

Extractor

Now, did you remember the puny little treetaps?
Yes, the stupid small ones you need to feed abnormous amounts of wood just to get a small amount of Rubberballs to produce cables?
It sucked, we admit it. And for this sake, we developed this piece of an most awesome machine: The Dejuicer-Device of Doom - D123!
Powered by any energy source, preferably the perfectly-designed T500-Rechargeable Energy Storation Unit, this device can extact amazingly amounts of ressources from stuff.
For example, it improves the ratio of gaining Rubberballs by an ultimate amazing 200%!!!.

But not even that, this device can more! 'What?' do you ask? Now, that's a secret we will tell you later, HAYO!

Compressor

It's amazing how much stuff you can craft with a basic workbench isn't it?
Big machines, boats, extremely nimble circuits, everything can be done just with a few tools.
But though this great circumstance, there ARE a few things you just can't do. And you know that.
However, this device can! Yes, we it can!
Using most advanced technology, the Freakin Compress-O-Matic C77 can create a pressure of over 4000 Gibbl. What is Gibbl you ask?
I don't know either, but it must be something frikkin awesome!
The most ned use of this stunning ability is to create advanced materials, like steel plating and other platingly plating stuff. You know, these stuffs...
...
HAYO!

Canning Machine

Weren't you ever peacefully exploring the vast landscape and got suddenly attacked by hordes of suddenly appearing, highly dangerous monsters?
Sure, with the right equipment, exspecially if you are using our precious technology, you can fend these beast off. But somewhen, you get hungry, and what then?
For long travels, you will need abnormous amounts of food. And as everyone knows, food takes up quite a lot of space in every backpack.
Tin Cans can make your life much easier...
if combined with the Unmobile Food Canning Machine GTA4!
These device is capable of splitting ANY kind of sourve into it's basic components, mixing them up to a healthy, yet tasty mash.
As well, it can fill this mash with an amazing speed into tin cans and seal them up for unlimited expiry dates!

Recycler

Now, you got the tools to harvest tons of everything. But what happens if all the useless stone and dirt piles up?
Just buy yourself a sweet new Recycler.
Recyclers compress, burn, obliterate and filter EVERYTHING you feed them. LITERALLY! It even ate my shiny diamond block... that wasn't really nice... ... HAYO!
Who cares, because with this devices, i can turn piles of dirt into piles of useful stuff, including many NEW diamonds!
And best of all: It's fast and doesn't use much energy, great, isn't it?
Note: Not every recycling process does successfully return a piece of Scrap. Stop throwing in dirt and instead use valuable ingots, may that will change something.
But, how do you even use the strange stuff coming out from the Recycler?
Easy, just bunch some Scrap together, put a box around it and VOILA, it will suddenly turn into something useful! What exactly? Now... i don't know either, HAYO!

Massfabricator

This is it. The most advanced piece of technology avaible IN THE UNIVERSE, HAYO!It can perform basic energy into PURE MATTER. Actually, even into highly-industrial Universal-Useable Matter.
Feed it enormous amounts of energy, and it will compress the energy via e=mc² into UUM. UUM can be transformed into quite any ressource known to humanity,
simply by putting it in a certain pattern onto your workbench. Epicness at it's best.
Due to being under research, currently there is no archive about which pattern could result in what, though.
One of our scientists claims that feeding a certain material into the Matter Generator could cause it to work much faster.
This material would need to be something which can be produced from ANYTHING, to contain the required molecular atom - stuff, ned by the Matter Generator.
I wouldn't believe this statement, though.

HAYO!

Tesla Coil

How do you defend your well-terraformed, high-costly industrial landscape from pesky animals/creepers/weirdos/thieves? Try a TESLA COIL, HAYO!
This is it: THE latest piece of defensive technology avaible for free usage without the need to buy licenses.
A Tesla Coil, already used by the Soviets to defend against the combined Allied army in the second altered-realm WW, is highly effective, well-ranged and absolute deadly.
First of all, however, you need to charge the Tesla Coil with 5000 EU. Once charged, the Tesla Coil is on stand-by. To ACTIVATE it, apply a redstone trigger.
As long as this Trigger is applied the Tesla Coil will start draining 2 EUs constantly to fuel it's extremely efficient targeting system.
This system will target the first alive object (we will consider undead alive in this matter) within a range of ~4 blocks.
Please take note, we do not take any responsibility for yourself zapping any part of your family/friends, including yourself.

Then the Tesla Coil will unleash the power of technology in form of an extremely powerful, wall-penetrating and quite lethal energy bolt. Of course this will deplete the energy reserve of the Tesla Coil, which will thus need to be recharged again.

Thank you very much! However, as you probably have noticed, this neither is a user manual nor a detailed description of how the machines work, so it doesn't have that much use. But still, thank you very much! If we use the example I used somewhere above this post, this is what made Steve order all that stuff!

*Reserved2* Sorry for triple post, but I have to post this because of the character limit! Sorry!

Quote from CrafterOfMines57

I'm not certain I understand the point of this thread, is it going to be a noob's guide to IC2? Also, why are there two sections for this stuff, does one explain how to use it and one explain what it is?

Okay, so my explaination is bad. I'll improve it soon.
Regarding your question: No, if it was, I would have posted it in the Tutorials-section.
Imagine Steve didn't build the machine, but ordered them somewhere and when they appear in a cloud of blue particles, he doesn't know what to do. Then he finds the user manual which explains that eg. he has to press the left button on the Dejuicer-Device of Doom D-123 (Extractor) to get the juice, even though we as players only have to throw it into the GUI. And because he is interested, he orders the encyclopedia where he can read that, for example, the Compress-O-Matic C77 (compressor) can generate? Make? What's the right word? 4000 Gibbl by, let's say, using repelling electromagnets.
Is it clear now? Do you think this can be used in the OP?

In this thread we will (hopefully) create a "Machine Guide" for IndustrialCraft², but not in the sense of "Machine X is crafted using Y and turns Z into A", but like... Err... Did you read the OP of the SeedManager Addon with like "And then you have to pull this lever and push this button"? That's what I mean. And if you know how to describe it better, please reply and tell me.
But not only this User Manual part should be here, but also how the machines work. Did you read this thread about the teleporter or this little "discussion" about the extractor? If yes, you probably know what I mean. If not, read it. And if you still don't understand it, tell me and I'll try to explain it better.
To expand this guide, just post replies with what you want added. Preferably post it in the style the guide should be, but if you don't, I'll "translate" it. Inspiration for that style can be found in some of my suggestions, the OP of the SeedManager Addon, a copy of the old IC Minecraftforum OP if anyone has a copy of it and probably in some other places. If you want to be mentioned here, just ask for it.
The terms that are used here are from my language pack . Sources for my language pack are in the language pack's thread.
Well, I'll stop with spamming links now and start with the guide! Well, not with the guide itself, but you'll see in a few lines.

"Unrelated Term" is a term, not anote that you should insert an unrelated term.

I tried my best to make the terms as random as possible. This is going to be very interesting.

Ok, now things are getting slightly more complex. But I'm positive I will be able to mix it up, somewhow...

Is it a new world or an old one?

Quote from Lexmechanic

Edit: Speaking of trees, I have a question. (I haven't downloaded your addon yet, but I probably will later tonight, so forgive me if this is obvious.) Do your treeplants have the potential to make all breeds of vanilla planks and wood, or just Oak? Sometimes I like to mix things up aesthetically, therefore, I'd like to have this option. Not a big deal though.

There are crops for birch and oak logs.

Not THAT related, but in the old IC description The Allmighty Dragonlord Modderator Alblaka said something like (If you want me to tell you the exact words, give me a copy of the old Minecraftforum IC1 OP! The thread for this is in the IC-section) "If you don't get scrap, throw in some valuable stuff instead of your dirt". As I said, these are not the exact words, but he made me recycle my diamonds : ). So, he had this idea before anyone else but didn't implement it.

In IC, glass fibre cables didn't exist. Wrong section.

Herobrine is in your World! Thats because a Noob was attempting to load Chunk Norris.

Who is Chunk Norris?
@OP: Something simliar happened to me in my very first world (Beta 1.2).
I made a Nether portal on top of a hill, went through it and when I came back, I was on the shore about 100-200 blocks away!

EU/s were used in IC. In IC², it's EU/t. Also, something like this was suggested already. Please use the search function.

Black listed items/mods:

IndustrialCraft 2 nukes and chuck loaders

Why are IC² nukes blacklisted? They didn't exist in IC, in IC only IC nukes existed, not IC² nukes, and you posted this in the IC section, so it doesn't have IC², but IC, right? By the way, since when does IC² have chunkloaders? Oh wait, you said chuck loaders. Since when can something in IC² load Chuck Norris?

Quote from Turnrliar

Hey, I am Turnrliar, and I would like to give a suggestion of adding a fully customizable Fusion Reactor that you actually have to build (not craft), like add the magnetic-core and the tubing, ETC..... So can you add them and then add Particle accelerators that you also have to build and use energy to make them work. Also add a way of making Lithium. So if you could add them in a new IC I would be extremly happy along with prob. a million other people who want that "build it" mechanic. Also that would make building powerplants much more worth it! (Also add the Hydrogen Bomb!) Power: NukeX5.

If you want to contact me about it and what you think a reasonable power output/input would be, i would be glad to help a Mod Maker like the all powerful you!

THIS IS MY JOB!! I was the first one to EVER suggest a nuclear fusion generator, even before the nuclear fission reactor was added. It was denied, even though Alblaka

Quote from Alblaka

loved that post for you imitating the presentation style i used in my mod descrition

It was the 8th suggestion ever to be made for IndustrialCraft and I was the 5th one to suggest something for IndustrialCraft.

Unless your server is running IC1 and a Tekkit version from a year or two ago

I don't know if there was tekkit for 1.7.3, but stonebricks didn't exist then. So this thread is in the wrong section!
