  • Scanner - default recipes

    the reason you can't have a 'default' scanner cost is because i could take an item from another mod (i'll use the BC quarry as an example) and scan it, then have the replicator kick them out.

  • Fair ideas for IC2

    While we are on the topic of ideas, i'd like to make a few suggestions. most of these are targeted at ic2e:


    Reinforced stone mold: currently the best way i have found for making reinforced stone is to set up a 3x3 iron scaffolding block and hit the center with the gun, which gives varied results. an alternative method that might be a bit more precise would be appreciated.


    biofuel cells to coal: in the same manner that IC2 produces an industrial diamond, a piece of coal could probably be produced. Biofuel cells currently don't have a use in experimental, so this would give them a use again. i don't know if front-loading the chain like this would break the game in any way.

    So, in a moment of panic, i managed to land myself writing a 15+ slide instructional powerpoint on how to build and operate IC2 nuclear reactors for a grade in class(University, not college or highschool). I'll post it here when it is done in case anyone wants to use it, add it to the wiki or whatever.


    Getting a grade for playing a game... Win or fail?

    Quote from hoho

    I re-started my carrieer with the ARM pack in Kerbal and just made my first strong-enough rocket to have a close fly-by of Minmus. All was going fine and I was doing research in my 3-stack of Science jr's when I noticed my height being just about 4.5 km and travelling at almost 1km/s. I was almost certain all is gone as I saw a huge mountain coming up behind the curve of the moon. Sure enough, I crashed right into it but to my surprise not all was lost. Through some weird magic my crew capsule survived the impact. Apparently my craft was positioned at just the right height that all the other parts touched the surface but the capsule itself was high enough to barely get over all of it. Had I had just half a meter lower orbit it would have crashed as well. In addition that crash slowed me down enough that I was put to re-entry trajectory with Kerbin. While I lost all the science in the science jr's and goo capsules I did manage to get a whole lot from crew manifests and EVA reports so all in all it was a successful mission. At least for the Kerbins :)


    That is Kerbal Tactics right there.

    [Rant]While i support developers receiving monies for their works, i'm not sure how i like the 'pledge milestone for features' method. Long story short, i don't want minecraft mods to become paywalled ugliness [see also: android app market]. Bit.ly and ad.fly are fine. Donation links and contributions, fine. Charging for people to include your mod in a modpack, sketchy but they could all download it normally(I hope). Tiered donation driven features....sketchy from the get-go.
    If you want a feature in your mod, put it in. Don't dangle things in front of the users with a 'maybe i will, maybe i won't' attitude.


    We've all probably played money-grub games [See also: Free to play, Pay to Win], and there is nothing that puts me off about a game faster than such models.[/Rant]

    most wifi radios put out at most 4 milliwatts of energy. that is .04W for those playing along at home. a lightbulb puts out more, but you don't see me running like a cockroach every time someone flicks on the lights...
