i think this is a good idea. NOT the pipes and stuff, just the gas generator. you could fill up cells with natural gas. or you could burn fuel more efficiently than in a generator.

Anyways, so back to practical, easy suggestions for making biofuel "worth it" (where it uses only renewable resources and takes lots of effort for a better return than the other "green energies" [solar, wind, etc.]). Remember, I don't care if this makes it into IC2 or is an addon/added to another addon. I just think bio-fuel shouldn't use non-renewable tin, because that makes it a non-renewable energy source AND make bio-fuel UP.
1. Tin cells are returned to a chest from canning operations when canning fuel from bio-fuel cells (and even coal-fuel cells if that makes you happy)
pros- easy to implement, doesn't really imbalance anything
cons- ...saves too much tin? Honestly, I can't think of anything bad about this one
2.
A. You can simply extract compressed plant clumps to get bio-fuel without needing to use cells at all (again, coal-fuel can be included in this if it makes you happy).
pros- (not as) easy to implement, still balanced
cons- requires 1(/2) new items and is contrary to the whole point of having cells/illogical
B. If you extract bio-cells in an extractor that is adjacent to a canning machine with an empty fuel can in it, the canning machine will fill the fuel can and empty cells will be produced in the extractor instead of bio-fuel cells.
pros- (I'm not actually sure if this one actually is) easy to implement, still balanced
cons- complicated, weird, can lead to scenario where extractor stops working due to empty cells filling output, etc.3. ...And that's all I can think of at the current moment, other than overcomplicated/overlarge changes just to fix bio-fuel as an energy source.
If any one else has some criticisms of these^^^or their own *easy to implement* suggestions, please post.
those are all pretty good ideas.

cant you just say the suggestion is denied in a nicer way?

not everyone has redpower installed.

good idea.

well the energy tap could take only a percentage of the energy flowing through it. it would be perfect for smp. houses closer to a power plant would be more expensive because they would get more energy.
PS. have you ever seen one of those youtube videos where a wooden power pole burns because of electricity? that is what would happen to the charging bench. it's wood! -
Some few question:
1. The energy tap accept up to how much EU/t? ULV? LV? or MV?
2. What about Nano, Quantum, tools, batpack and lappack?
3. Why the treetap in the recipie???
1. tier 1 energy tap can accept ULV and LV, tier 2, MV,tier 3,HV.
2. nano and quantum armour could be charged in tier 2 or 3, the batpack, lappack, and EU powered tools could be charged in any tier energy tap
3. because the treetap is a tap. (could be replaced by cable if the ic developers actually put the energy tap in minecraft) -
the energy tap can be used for a power collection point or a battery charging point for a cable. the energy tap is placed between two cables. ( like this:
) when a battery is placed in the energy tap and a power source is connected to the cable, the energy tap will re-direct all energy flowing through the cable into the battery. the energy tap doesn't store energy, it just acts as an energy collection point for a solar flower or something. finally, there could also be upgraded energy taps that could charge a energy crystal.crafting:
(where
= empty space)
hope this is a good idea! -
ok, i'll make a new thread about the energy tap. (i dont know how to rename a thread)
-
why denied?
-
guys the point is the energy tap.is there anything to criticise there?
-
OK, forget about the tin wire change.it doesn't really matter. the main point is energy tap and ULV storage unit.
-
meh, i said that so tin cables would fit in with a pattern. and what do you think about the energy tap?
-
i think that there should be a energy storage device that can emit micro voltage. there should also be a micro voltage power converter. but to make these, you would need tin plates. tin plates could be made by placing a tin ingot in the crafting table. this would make 2 tin plates.then you could craft a micro storage unit. it would hold around 500-1000 EU. you could also craft a energy tap. the energy tap would act like a cable, but you could place a RE battery in it and it would charge it. it does not store energy, it would just act as a energy collection point for solar farms so you could charge a battery. then you could make a tier 2 energy tap that can charge a energy crystal.

just use a torch.

"
NO.That is all.
Long Answer: You create a new machine to remove a feature from another? No just no."
remember this?
you said this to me. and now your doing exactly the same!
-
i guess that the only way not to make a lightning rod overpowered is to make an expensive block attached to the lightning rod made to cope with the sudden extreme voltage.though the rarity of a lightning strike is high so you may aswell burn stuff in a genarator for power.
i understand now. -
ok ive calmed down a bit, but how is it stupid? and what do you mean "press x to win"?
-
just why? why do people talk about that stupid quote?!
-
ok, i just made idea up when i saw how many steps there where to re enrich a uranium cell. besides, im like 11 and i only installed ic2 2 weeks ago and i don't really know much about the structure if ic2. ( like some stuff is meant to be very hard to get) sorry its not a very good idea.
