Step 0) Watch me? I don't get it.
Step 1) Douche bag.
Step 2) Go to Step 1.

I really want you to implement some stuff I thought would be useful and you're plainly being a douche bag and it's starting to get moderately annoying.
So I will ask you nicely to stop.

EDIT: I got too much aluminum now, what do I do?

1. it's his mod and he doesn't have to add anything if he doesn't want to. You can request and beg all you want and it's very unlikely to change the mod makers mind. It's also entirely up to the mod maker to decide if he wants to add the ideas or implement them to the mod. In this case he's refused so stop trying to beat that dead body with a stick.

Aluminum lol... well it's a very common metal in the world so... it has so many applications many of which noskk covered. Really if you got crap tons of aluminum make use of it instead of wasting all that refined iron to craft stuff :p at most you should only be using it to construct certain blocks now. Also if you got so many... well... smelt it and then turn it into storage blocks especially if it's taking up too much space.

Not indestructible, it just can take a doublesized Nuke-Explosion without a scratch.

So basically it's a block that negates the use of a double walled area of reinforced stone for a nuclear reactor?

Dumb question time

Just noticed in NEI when looking for reinforced stone recipe I noticed Iridium Reinforced stone... am I to assume that Iridium reinforced stone is basically 2 reinforced stone block protection casing for reactors in one block? Also seeing how Iridium Neutron Reflectors are indestructible that iridium reinforced stone is also indestructible?

Quote from RichardG

You are limited by chambers yes, but snice it tries to output as much steam as it can in one pipe, the pipe capacity is the limit.

Depends of course, if your using the golden waterproof pipes it's what limited to 40 steam? I can't recall... though using the valve pipe addon you get the use of pipes that are more advanced and allow for more movement of steam.

Was gonna say something about a inter-dimensional pipe but then I realize that's what the quantum tank is for... hmmm... well the ID pipe would still be useful for item transportation.

I noticed something with NEI with some cells, some of the cells you can use as fuel... there is heat number next to them like hydrogen cells they give 12k heat. What is this suppose to mean? that I can use them in a regular furnace to make titanium or aluminum?

All these new additions... lol wiki can't keep up major lack of info now on there with up to date versions heh

Quote from noskk

NEI included in the mod is the plugin, what Greg's talking about was the NEI core 1.4.2.8 from chicken bone thread..

1.4.2.10 was released just within a few hours from my last post lol... 1.4.2.8 was the bugged version which if you wanted it to work you needed mistaqur patch fix, new version doesn't require it but it was a good thing mistaqur was around to provide a fix so some people could use it

NEI was updated again, go grab the chicken core, NEI and addon files I can confirm they work now.

That is caused because they are noramly not stackable at all. But when they come out of the centrifuge, they have to be stacked so they fit in the centrifuge. When trying to out 2 of those "stacks" together, they bug out and stack together, except for leaving one behind. This glitch is also found with uranium cells.

Never seen it happen with Uranium cells, I've seen those stack to 64 without any problems.

mmmm guess I need to go nether mining... or go to a mystcraft age with hell biome.

Industrial Grinder and Sphalerite ore for a tiny pile

Ah thank you... though I figured it out by looking at the recipes in the industrial grinder lol.

Also Greg... I'm trying to stack all my Thorium cells but they aren't behaving. I take them out of the centrifuge and it stacks to 7 but leaves 1 behind, now that left over cell that is excluded from the stack is unable to stack with any other cells. So basically the Thorium cell stacking I believe is bugged.

Hmm... how do you obtain yellow garnet?

Quote from kevindude

I have some questions about nuclear reactor fuels. I know that uranium normal does 5eu/t and 1 heat/t (when by it self, not next to other cells) Does GT modify normal uran cells? and how much heat+eu/t do thorium and plutonium output? thx

Thorium gives the same amount of energy as uranium but has like 5 times the life of a normal, dual and quad cell at 1/5th the heat. Basically it has less heat and lasts much, MUCH longer. So Uranium cells last 2 hours 45 mins, a thorium cell would last I think if my math is correct... and I might be off... 12 hours and 25 mins. Plutonium lasts twice as long as uranium, gives off twice the energy and twice the heat. Good for those Cooling cell reactors... even better with using Helium Cooling cells.

I would assume with that much energy... the loss is small in comparison to how much energy your making.

Quote from hoho

Is it intended that one can't turn off (some?) of this mod machines with redstone signal? Tried with industrial grinder and electrolyzer with a lever, didn't seem to have any effect.

What's the problem? are they draining your energy all the time? There's a config option in the config to set that to true and false. True being they constantly drain EU and false being they don't drain when not in use.

Quote from Uu matter 37

No, it says on his "possible Features list" that the dimensions will be opened by some form of a "stargate". Suggestion: Particle accelerator would create antimatter, only a small chance of doing so though. Antimatter would be put in a antimatter generator. You would have to put antimatter on one side and uu matter on the other. This would create enough energy to open a portal to a new dimension. A more realistic solution would be that it creates a wormhole and would need to be opened with negative energy.

Suggestion: being able to give your IDSU's IDs because I have 2 main power grids and I want them to be seperate. (I have this because the industrial grinder and industrial blast furnace require energy at all times)

Suggestion: SSU, singularity storage unit, can accept 100 billion eu and outputs what ever super conductors have with a redstoned supercondansator.

Suggestion: New quantum armor abilitys like to pass trough 1 block thick walls.

Suggestion: An energy orb that can store infinite eu.

Suggestion: New cable types, like something that is less expensive than super conductors.

When did gregtech become OPtech? I like that there is stuff in the mod that is semi-OP but isn't completely there needs to be a limit to how OP this mod should be. Also Condansators don't have a use atm in the mod.

I do not want this mod to become OPtech and have stuff become semi-easy to obtain. I got this mod because of the challenge it brings back to the game and keeps me interested in playing it.

Quote from Phrost

Greg, I am so glad you liked and implemented my suggestions!! so im gonna press my luck some more and suggest a few more things.

1. Sodium is highly combustible, make it burnable in a boiler for a very high yield (4x of lava simple due to how difficult it is to get sodium) will make heating up boilers easier
2. Beryllium Copper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium_copper) a good alloy that has many uses in electronics. I was thinking 3 copper ore + beryllium (it is very rare after all) to yield 20 beryllium copper bars which can be used as a replacement for copper in copper cables and for alternate (cheaper) recipe for copper plating!
3. Palladium - countless industrial uses, can alloy with silver to make electrodes (to be used in forestry as alternate recipe for diamond electron tubes, can be made into special cells that absorb hydrogen (4 palladium + 5 hydrogen) to make extremely potent fuel source that can burn in generators and boilers. Most importantly palladium is not consumed in the process due to its ability to absorb hydrogen and release it.
4. titanium to make advanced machines. 5 titanium (1 in each corner, 1 in middle) and 2 carbon plates 2 advanced alloys as replacement for machine block recipe
5. Liquid nitrogen - already exists in the game already through other mods (not sure which mod adds it) but would be nice to see some integration with your nitrogen cells and ability to pipe liquid nitrogen directly into nuclear reactor as a 1 time outside coolant. Combined with nuclear control you can have an interesting mechanic if reactor overheats pump liquid nitrogen in to super cool it! Of course make it expensive to balance.

Next suggestions involve tungsten (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolframium#Alloys)
6. Here is a bit of a weird / cool idea I have. Tungsten + nickel to make kinetic penetrator. Its a round that you fire from some sort of projectile launcher (leave that part up to you). Its a 1 time use projectile that will move forward 30 blocks, penetrating and destroying everything in its path except for bedrock. It would be an excellent tool for hollowing out room or making mine shafts, considering destruction catalyst is gone and tungsten isnt easy to come by.
7. Tungsten + sulfur + manganese to make powerful fluorescent lighting. It will require EU to operate (constant 1eu/t) but will produce very bright light that lights up a wide area + it can have cool graphics. If not too op you can also make it deadly to creepers, preventing them from approaching it!
8. Silicon in advanced circuit recipe. ! silicon plate + 4 redstone to make 2 advanced circuits

And last, but not least I absolutely love chemistry and physics and the fact that gregtech adds so much of it!!! What do you think about a particle collider? Can open up possibilities for synthesizing californium, einsteinium, nobelium, etc. considering we already have fusion reactors it would mix together extremely well. Would need 8k EU/t and you can insert various cells in there to create / break elements!

Thank you very much for consideration, absolutely love the mod and would love some feedback:)

Beryllium is also something that alone can be used in neutron reflectors

Quote from FuFu1337

so your new Dimension will be a mix between the overworld and the nether in one dimension sounds interresting.
Little question can you make the Sapphire and Ruby generation configureable like the iridium? and/or the possibility to turn off the "generate only in desert or oceans/beach" ? Would be nice for server side generation.

BAAAH FEANTURY fix that crash bug... -.-

Eh I don't know I sort of like that rubies and Sapphires aren't configurable and being stuck in beach/ocean and desert type biomes. Either one of course is negated really if you take Mystcraft into account.

Quote from francogp

I found 8 in the vicinity of my home base. Not easy, but they exist.

Yeah I just noticed lol just getting down really low in level is where to find them. Finally getting some rubies from the quarry now. Thing had to go down pretty far to find them but ah well least I'm getting some.

Also I've been getting the fatal error thing when posting posts here on the forums. Only started recently and I'm using Nightly which is the 64-bit version of firefox.

Heh all this talk about rocks and minerals... realized this is one of the reasons why I like this mod
