Would spreading them out help?
If players force all these chunks to be loaded at all times spreading them will actually make it worse.

Yes, refined iron is gone.

IRL its been theorized that energy could be transmitted without loss by first converting it to light.
Energy, yes, but not electricity

But why the Hell should Stargates require Antimatter?
So you happen to have a detailed working knowledge of the innards of starates?
They are a thing where you can throw any random amount of stuff at and it would sort of make sense.If you create if out of pure energy, then yes. But guess what, the LHC sometimes turns hadrons into others particles, such as Antimatter ... I think theoretically you can get Antimatter for less energy than what it could give you, assuming youwould collect it entirely.
Actually LHC is wasting far greater amount of power than you can get back from the matter-antimatter annihilation due to having to keep a few tens of kilometers of supercooled magnets not exploding.
Really any other way to make cells would help, but aluminum makes sense i think, and its a higher 'tier' metal than tin so it wouldnt upset any sort of balance, would it?
Agreed. Not like Tin is a rare ressource though, but I don't see any point not to use Al for that sake.[/quote]To not have a conflict from de-crafting the aluminum ones could have a bigger capacity. Either just 2 buckets or have a chest-like recipe and contain 10 buckets. I certainly wouldn't mind it

What about good 'ol glassfiber cables? they can be made with rp2 silver.
Except that RP2 is as good as dead.
Also transmitting power via glass fibre cable has never made sense. If anything it could be used for transmitting redstone signal.

the only thing that will make the elec industry do a complete overhaul voluntarily is a cheap, easy to use/install, all/room temp superconductor wire.
That'll only mean they replace the main cables and won't do a thing about voltages.

Do you happen to use gregtech too? If so the wrench is always in lossless mode.

How about adding a particle accelerator? It would be a machine even better (and of course more expensiv) than the Fusionreactor. You can gain with it antimatter which has to be stored into special and expensiv storages. And then you can put it into a Matter/Antimatter Generator, where you also have to put, besides the antimatter, some normal matter.
Creating antimatter to "burn" with normal matter for power is always energy negative process.Using antimatter for things like stargates or whatever else Greg planned to add is a different story, though.

While I do agree that the power infrastructure needs improvements, unfort too many people won't take the expense until a crisis happens and they'll be the same ones that bemoan why nothing happened to fix the problem beforehand.
Hasn't there already been blackouts covering relatively big parts of US? -
or they realize that it would be impossibly expensive due to the size of the infrastructure to update. Every and I mean EVERY transformer and substation would have to be updated, not to mention every appliance would have to be replaced (or a power converter purchased). then you'd have a ton of garbage from all the chargers, appliances, and main line transformers that would have to be thrown away.
Plus many line transformers aren't mass produced and take months to make, some at least a year.
It is just too late to update the US power grid to 240V.
Sounds like a great way to get out of economy crisis. For great depression US had people do all sorts of relatively useless thins for money, redoing electric grid would be useful and allso save a whole lot of money in the long run. -
Whatever the end values will be, make sure it'll be possible to configure each one separately from conf file (and to turn them off)
Stuff needing pattern means you can't just make blaze rods if you haven't fed any to some of the new machines, right? Sort of like old EE2 system. If so then it's greatAs for prices, I'd say it HIGHLY depends on how easy it will be to get EU in the new IC2. I'd say figure out how much energy on average one can produce per chunk of materials with half-decent nuke setup (and other fuel sources if applicable) and go from there.
In general I'd say price in UU should depend more on actual usage of the material than on rarity. Yeah, easy to say, hard to implement
Perhaps get a few people to analyze their maps and count the amount of materials they've spent? Or better, build in a logging mechanism into IC2 that would do it automatically. Turned off by default, when turned on it generates a log file as one plays and perhaps even submits it to somewhere. Yes, I understand that most people that use IC2 also use other mods so the amount of materials will vary wildly, not to mention differences between server vs SSP but given enough time it should give pretty good idea. Of course that would mean the UU prices will be changing later down the line but I don't think that would be too big of an issue. -
Also, i cannot commit to github anymore
I had to change a directory (create a new one) and GitHubForWindows doesn't support directorieschanging yet.
Get gitbash, get to the directory you created, do #git add files_from_that_directory_you_want_in_git followed by #git commit and you should get it working.Really, using git from command line is trivial. Havin some GUI app not support such a basic feature shouldn't be a reason to not commit stuff.

His last commit was a week ago, no reason to panic.

So you call a large amount of items+fuel and little return balance?
Exactly how much larger is it than it used to be?

No, if you are part of the circuit, you are fucking dead. No joke, I know many cases where electricians were working on wires, and didn't realize the cables were still live. Once they accidentally grabbed the live ends of the wire, they were cooked in mere seconds...
This is on 120V American, mind you...
Remind me again why does US use the incredibly efficient and far more dangerous 120V instead of 250V of the rest of the world, again?
I've been shocked by 240V MANY times before and once by 380V. The 380V thingy literally threw me across the room against a wall but I got off with a bit of a scare, nothing else. My younger brother in all his wisdom once decided to check if power is on by sticking two wires in a wall socket holding one in each hand. He is still here and also nothing bad happened to him
Not saying electricity is completely harmless, just you need to be extremely unlucky to die to it or go touching the far more dangerous 120V lines.

Whoever knows how to pipe out liquids using GT pipes, please post here
You need to put a pump cover to the pipe ending that touches the container with liquid and set it to import mode with a screwdriver.Note that you can/must set the pipe+cover up somewhere else, wrench it up and put it to it's final position as you generally have the container down before piping.

Who knows in the next years i get to learn some C (then java) in the university...
If you REALLY want to be a decent coder you should start much sooner and on your own. I'm almost certain in the few years you spend in uni you won't really learn much about programming unless you do a metric ton of it in addition to school tasks. At least that was so about 10 years ago when I "studied" it. Apparently even just the 5 years of toying around and not getting past a simple tile-based renderer/x-com remake wannabe I was capable of much more than what was taught in post-grad courses.

Why not offer your help to official IC2 devs to beat the experimental branch reactors into working order? Perhaps even integrate some of your own mod features into it.

From the config itself:
"Comma separated, format is id-metadata:value"So for iridium you'd have 4060-2:5
