Quote from Sebra

So it looks like special block: Reactor (chemical). It shows a slot to insert materials, slot for output and some scales.
1. Pressure (up to some limit)
2. Temperature (up/down to some limit based on biome)
3. Volume of each material inserted (up so some total limit)
4. pH
5. ...
Pressure can be manipulated by opening hole to release steam.
Heater/cooler can be EU based (battery slot + EU scale + thermostat controls) or item based (slot for ice/water/lava). Also some HEAT exchange possible between nearby Reactors (including Nuclears).
Volume increased by adding something and decreased by removing something. Also pH.

You can add anything into reactor and release any material in six directions.
If released into air, gas disappears, liquid flows away, solid dropped as items.
If released into nearby Reactor, added to other Reactor.

Recipes would be hardest. You need to describe how each material reacts with each in each condition. For example Iron with Coal in right temperature and proportions produce Steel with some rate. You need quite skilled Chemist to describe it all with a slightest sign of realism.

Good luck!

That sounds like a endgame time eater +1

And change steel with iron dust.

What? Yeah that's what is supposed to happen, when hv current is sent to an lv accepting machine, it goes boom, is this a troll bug?

The explosion is not centred on the macerator.

edit: silly me I got 1.97, but that bug must still be there~~

+1

And +1 for the future yeast tanks, that with additives can make "microfood" (all vanilla foods). Asimov style.

Theres no need for that.

Another friend wants to join us (mawhahaha, more ppl working at my base)

I have tried to install BC/RP, but I think I'm to stupid to use this yet. Do you know any good tutorial (good if he starts with installing it, because there are so much packages), perhaps?

About RedPower

This guy have some usefull stuff, and if you ask Greg in this thread, I'm sure he will willing to help you with some RP stuff. In fact almost everyone on this forum can help you with RP stuff.

And about BuildCraft

This guy have usefull stuff 'bout BC too. But in my opinion, you just need to know how the pump and waterproof pipes works, and some power-converter(IC/BC) add-on that catch your fancy.

And about installing the 734463464535 packages, just make sure to download the right version compatible with forge of BC and RP, and put all those 734463464535 packages on your mods folder.

"And if you have RP or BC installed, then you dont even need Tincells to fill geothermal Generators."

I usually want to use tins for the pump because the pump sometimes pumps up to +64 tin cells and I don't want to "waste" it (because I need some batteries). Is there a mod which allows you to use anything other for the pump to fill in?

If you, someday, have to run 8 geogen working 24/7, then you could cry 'bout, but for +64 cells? really?

Tinpitchers...

Dafuq did I just read?

Quote from T10a

Only way that much resistance would last long is if you use the EE2 Talisman of Repair with a shitload of Covalence Dust in your inventory.

70%-90% of us don't use EE cuz we think it breaks the balance of any other mod.

So... Faraday armor?

I think the "super goal" of IC are the agruiculture engineer.

Quote from LordOfCuteOnes

Teleporters use a lot of energy when you have stuff on. So really, this idea is an option towards people who don't want to build arrays of MFSUs and wouldn't waste more space in the Industrial Compartment. If you hate endgame stuff, then don't bother.

Teleporters are endgame device that require a proper infrastructure backing up, it isn't something that you could made with two blocks, because it is a endgame device.

So if you hate endgame things, then don't bother.

And your suggestion, like everything related with EE is OP, and I don't want it please.

This does what you want

Quote from SpwnX

Instead of an EMP that disabled jetpacks, I would like some kind of automated turret (with white-list) that fires either bullets (if provided gunpowder + iron/bronze) or laser (if provided energy through cables).

Flak turrets are a active defens system that could atract a lot of unwanted atention, and for sure that thing will need some kind of ammo and power to maintain the target acquisition system.

I don't say that its a bad idea, but if you want something more discret that don't yell "HERES MAH BASE, HERE ARE MAH BALLS AND THIS IS MAH LAZER! COME AND GET ME NIGGA!!!", some EU-expensive kindoffieldgeneratordevice would be great.

Quote from 3Davideo

and there may be cases for whatever reason that one would want to have a "stealthy" base (or reduced environmental impact base, as I am planning with mine).

+1

I never thought that you could find bases with the sound of machinery.

Quote from CrafterOfMines57

I wholeheartedly approve, back in the war... server I used the night vision goggles from SDK's guns mod practically all the time, and I would love if IC2 could get a similar item, although how would it function? SDK's kind of gave the screen a greenish tint that somehow enabled the ability to make out things in the dark, would it be like that or would it be as if the light level of torches is around you at all times?

The green effect could be added(or a blue one with honey bee pattern for a more sci-fi touch)

Quote from fearsomegenie

What is the effect of the hv, mv, lv transformers on packets? Are they combined/split? Does that effect how much energy total can be transfered per tick?

Quote from Zjarek

In IC2 electricity is only a buzz word for small magical dwarfs carrying nanobatteries. From every energy source or storage there is one dwarf released every tick. Size of a dwarf is determined by amount of energy they are carrying. Cables are in reality just a tunnels where they run. If a cable or machine don't provide enough space for a dwarf it will get angry and blow up.

However many dwarfs are happy to run alongside each other and will in cooperation carry any amount of energy through a cable. Big dwarf will still prefer to blow up, then to split, but he can split into smaller dwarfs in transformer. Every smaller dwarf which is produced by transformer can go to the same output tunnel.

These useful little creatures are also sometimes nicknamed packets.

I love how this guy explain it.

"I" don't understand what is the meaning of this suggestion, other than make Alb watch 52:53 film.

So I'm gonna ask you, "what is the point of making Alb watching this"?

Btw I'm gonna watch this cuz I'm bored and I already read all my mangas at Mangafox/batoto
Edit: english with german subs and a random part in catalan/valencianomedaigualestodolomismo? lulz
Edit 2: ok ok, later they said that this dude is from Barcerlona, that explain why he doesnt want to buy another printer, now all makes sense :O
Edit 3: btw is fun reading the titles of the related videos "Must See.. UFO Documentary 'Secret Access' FULL ", "Japan 8.9 earthquake caused by the U.S. Government with H.A.A.R.P.!!!!", " Lost Secrets of the Illuminati - HD Feature"

You will be using just one uranium cell and two depleted(I hope), so the explosion(if theres is any) is prety weak.
Just be quick puting in and out the unarium cell.

And the water always on is cuz you are playing in a server, and lag can come and say "hi" followed by a "boom".

Range? how could a goggles need range?

But how long the nightvision with only one recharge? I think a night is good.

I mean, they would be cheap and tier 1-2.
