    I was going to put this in a theoretical addon suggestions sub forum but there wasn't so I decided to make it myself.
    so I guess that ruins any chance of me making an addon. I know nothing about java programming :/

    Personally, I only know Java basics myself from a class I am taking, but you could ask someone like F4113nb34st, or GregoriusT if it is theoretically possible. To me it doesn't sound like it is, but having never created a mod, I can't be 100% certain of what Forge can do for you.

    1. the lag generated by the multi tyle setup would be large becouse of the various machine blocks must work together in an long chain, which results in an long sequence of command lines, which in turn leads to an icreased lag production for the same function. (and some extra's)

    Have you seen the GregTech addon? It has a lag-free theoretically infinite(I don't know if it's infinite, but in testing, I stacked like 100 blocks on with no noticeable lag increase) multi-block machine

    well we can make it more difficult to make a stable reactor and if its unstable it will melt to an unusable and Unmovable block. and i understand we can't make it 100 percent realistic because after all this isn't real its a game but it can at least make a little sense or just rename it to the magic reactor.


    Given your recent job, I understand your interest in this, however IC2 and realism have not been known to mix, hell, Minecraft and realism have not been known to mix. Welcome to Minecraft where everything is made up and the physics don't matter, that's right the physics don't matter! You are proposing we add realism to a game where you start by punching down a tree, making wooden planks with your hands, so that you can make a pickaxe out of wood, which means that you can break floating stone blocks in a matter of seconds with a vastly inferior material, so that you can eventually reach diamond, and break obsidian, making it so you can create a portal to Hell itself, should I continue, or are you catching my drift here? On top of this, we just had an extremely major update to Nuclear Reactors, I don't think people want to see another major update anytime soon.

    First, this assumes you have enough Java knowledge to actually pull this off

    Refer to this thread on how to decompile IC2 to begin coding your addon, however if I get what you are thinking about making (an addon where redstone needs electricity to run) I'm not certain of Forge's full capabilities, but my guess is that that may require anywhere from minor to major base file modification (assuming you know what that is)

    EDIT: No there are no addons that do this, you have not broken any rules by asking (why would you?)

    Not true, all seals affected crops including the faster growth and the collection one.

    Oh, the thought literally never occurred to me to try that out, I was pretty certain that because the EE Harvest Goddess Band didn't harvest them (or at least I don't think it does), that they didn't technically count as "plants". Brb, adding azanor to the list of people that never cease to amaze me

    Assuming you mean crop stick crops, I don't even think Thaumcraft can harvest them, and I severely doubt that there will ever be a way to auto harvest them. The way I see it, crops can be a great asset, but overall they were meant to be a side task, and an inconvenient one at that. Taking away the inconvenience of the crops would make them something that everyone spams just like Solars, people would get their crops to very high levels, and then just afk while their crops mass produce iron, gold, nether wart etc. and it would be even worse if you have an addon like IDN crops installed, which would allow access to copper, tin, blaze rods, enderpearls, and much more, it's for this rationale that I think autoharvesting of IC2 crops is not currently planned and probably never will be implemented.
    On the subject of Redpower deployers and assemblers, are you certain you understand the concept of them? They were meant for one way interaction with the world through placing blocks, shooting lasers, using tools like hoes etc., they function off what is inside the GUI, therefore if there is nothing inside the GUI, logically nothing will happen.

    Also, I'll agree with Monoxide here Tekkit/Technic are very flame-happy topics here, if you can avoid mentioning them (except in a bug report where it is necessary), it's probably for the best

    I believe similar things have been suggested in the past, and they were denied under the thought that it would take a huge amount of coding to do them, they wouldn't really add anything to the game as nuclear power is already complex enough on its own, and the game is made for fun, not hardcore engineering to make an endgame power source that, if done incorrectly, melts down.

    Ok, so I'm not new to MC, but new to all of these IC2 mods. I have tried multiple ways to install this mod to no success. All I have installed is the latest IC2, and the MC Forge you need for it, plus NEI. If someone could let me know how to install this that would be great. I've tried just dropping the zip into the mods folder by the way.


    When you say "to no success" what do you mean? In most cases we will need error logs to determine the problem. In any case, here are step by step instructions, starting at the beginning, on how to install IC2 and Compact Solars.

    1. Go to desktop
    2. Click Start button and type into search bar %appdata%, press enter
    3. Open .minecraft
    4. Open bin
    5. Open minecraft.jar in WinRar
    6. Drop in Forge version 4.1.2.263 or higher into the .jar
    7. Delete META-INF folder
    8. Run Minecraft
    9. Put IC2 version 1.106 (1.107 compatibility can't be guaranteed) and the latest Compact Solars download into the mods folder
    10. Run Minecraft
    11. Enjoy

    By the time this message reaches you in deep space, I will probably be long dead. "Go defend The Company!" they said, "Massive pay increase!" they said. Those bastards at Crafter's Mining Co. sent me here to Planet Epsilon-Gamma-7 alone to set up a mining base of operations with only several RE-batteries, a nanosuit, and a mining laser. Of course this was all before the spam-bots found my radio transmissions. It started out small, but now I'm facing a full scale invasion of spam-bots with just a mining laser, some tesla coils, and my own wits.

    ATTENTION TO BASE, TESLA COIL MAIN HULL BREACHED!

    Well I guess that last statement is only partially true now. I still have some time left I think, I set up some electrical traps outside this room in anticipation of them breaching the main hull, they should hold out for quite some tim-

    ATTENTION TO BASE, GENERATOR ROOM BREACHED!

    Damnit! They've gotten smarter! My time is short I've got to-
