at second turbine you need condenser so you don't lose water.

how to make proper release https://github.com/blog/1547-release-your-software

don't add build to repository.

EDIT: just tested one fuel rod and heat vent. it produce 2 millions EU.

I was already planning to make this open source, but I was hoping to get some feedback and develop it a bit further first. Also, I was thinking SourceForge, mainly because I hadn't really noticed GitHub. One thing that concerns me is that Wikipedia lists "Commerical" for the "Self-hosting" feature for GitHub. Could somebody please explain what that means? Thanks.

Don't use source-forge. They are let you download adware which install itself and then install original program that you intended to install. Self-hosting mean if you can run github on your own server.

Here is my attempt to make turbine block.
Botton row are two liquid heat exchangers. Between them is steam generator which send steam to two kinetic steam turbines. Each turbine have attached one generator. The fluid regulator is pointed downward. When you put ejector update to condenser, turbine and heat exchanger you can easily attach it to side of the reactor. Also it works only with distilled water as water condensed inside the turbines are returned directly to steam generator. If you put water to steam generator it becomes blocked.

Only problem with this setup is at start it blows some steam outside so sometimes you must refill your water.

does anyone have idea how is the advanced miner is working?

Ore washing plang is ejecting purified ore to the thermal centrifuge. But the other small pile of metal and stone dust stay there. so it get clogged with it.

Maybe they should reintroduce passive reactor cooling? For each 1000 of reactor hull heat it will increase cooling by one point. So reactor heated to 65000 will cool down by 65 heat each tick. This way we can project automatic heating reactors which are auto regulate them self. Or some other way to make reactors auto regulate.

when we are at rant about next version. what the hell did you with nuclear reactor? if I tested it correctly it seems like now it have 5 times lower output than before.

Do ore washing machine works? When I tried it last time I couldn't figure how it work.

can you add some sort of mega miner? original one is quite slow and have little radius. something that will mine area about 16*16 in one go and twice fast mine ratio as original miner.

cooleant cell needs to store three times more heat than now. six cooleant cell pack can store 6heat per second. that is too low to be interesting as it is cooling capacity of basic heat vent.

did you placed 18 and 64 heating cell inside of the reactor? also you must wait for the reactor to heat up.

when reactor begin to melt it can melt one of chamber too. that can lead into explosion as it can remove plating which lower max temp and reactor goes ka boom.

nuclear reactor was drasticaly changed in 1.106. you must wait until wiki update or download some recipe book mod.

and when we are on it why not add end portal block also?

Only way to achive 4+ effciency is with CASUS. But they are too much error prone. There i propose create new item called neutron reflector. If this item is added next to uranium cell it will act like another uranium cell but it will not produce another heat or power. For example if we place one uranium cell and one neutron reflector next to each other it will produce 20EU/t and 20 heat/s. If you place one uranium cell and surround it with four reflectors it will have 50EU/t and 50 heat/s.

A neutron reflector is any material that reflects neutrons. The material may be graphite, beryllium, steel , and tungsten carbide, or other materials.

So I propose recipe for neutron reflector will be from carbon plate, refined iron and/or advanced alloy.

How are they becoming troublesome? Too many holes in landscape/buildings/sheep?

yes too many holes.

We first need to evaluate whether porting to 1.3 will have direct benefits for IC2 and how much work it would be to pull off the port.
I personally wouldn't mind sticking to 1.2.5 until the API is released, but as soon as the other Tek-Mods update we'll be forced to do so as well.

I don't think that 1.4 with mod API will be anytime soon.

I am server admin and have some issue with mining laser. Can we get a configuration option for laser modes. To be able turn off scatter and explosive modes as they become quite troublesome on my server.

AFAIK fermetation occurs only in placed barrel. and it should ferment regardless of quantity.
