If a Thread is dead, and the last post was from ages ago, dont necro post it, especially saying "I think this is dead"...

You could always polish the Quartz into a refined flat surface...
Which would be less eficient and more expensive and harder to do than glass.
-
quartz would be VERY bad for solar panels, for it reflects and absorbs most of the radiation that incides on it (the common quartz, some types are more crystaline, like watch quartz). Glass is used because it transmits almost all of the radiation, and even so, solars have a 14-16% efficiency.

sounds cool. i support local chats, atleast in a basic form, servers can suck due to that, when there is so much people speaking you can't even read a message before it goes away.

There is now Quartz in Minecraft. Try to press the Update-Button...Quote Fail. Easy on the quote button
.Also, my minecraft play is based on ftb, and i haven't played that in a while aswell (goddam metro the last light, y u so addictive?)
-
Just add quartz to the old solar panel recipe instead of glass or one of the coal dust
Isn't quartz from Applied Energistics? You can't make a mod rely on other mod items, at least without alternative recipes.

Display MoreSorry Laamapalmu for posting ideas in your topic, but I think its better to keep everything In one place.
And you can't just keep complaining without actually giving something back, right?So here is my idea to upgrade what we already have. I remember someone posting a similar GUI some time ago.
Display Spoiler
Explanations of what we see:
Nuclear reactors would become a multiblock structure. There would be only one shape of
reactor but there would be many variations of structure blocks.Reactor structure:
“Reactor Hull” block is standard radiation blocking element, made of copper or lead. It doesn't provide any special functions.
“Out Ring” blocks. Those provide “Out Slots” and come in 3 variations:
“Standard”, cheapest with no effects.
“Upgraded”, increases efficiency of cooling modules.
“Advanced”, greater increase of efficiency for cooling modules and reduces module failure chance.“Mid Ring” blocks. Those provide “Mid Slots” and come in 3 variations:
“Standard”, cheapest with no effects.
“Cooling”, increases efficiency of cooling modules.
“Neutron”, provides reaction point for fuel cells like neutron reflection modules does.“In Ring” blocks. This one provides “In Slots” and come in 3 variations:
“Standard”, cheapest with no effects.
“Neutron”, provides reaction point for fuel cells.
“Advanced Neutron”, provides 2 reaction points for fuel cells and reduces module failure chance.Any ring has to be built with one type of block for reactor to work.
GUI”
“Out Slots”. Those can only be filled with cooling modules.
“Mid Slots”. Those can be filled with both cooling modules and fuel cells.
“In Slots”. Those can only be filled with fuel cells.
Mechanics:
Now to make things more fun. I propose to change heat generated by cells from constant to fluctuation. So a single cell would produce not a constant 10 heat/tick but a random number from 5 to 15. So 50% - 150% /tick. Overall the heat generation would be the same, but this gives a chance for spontaneous heat surges to appear. But it’s just a proposition.
Another fun aspect. Now heat is boring. It does not take any role in normal reactor cycles. You either have a cold reactor or near explosion one with no benefits, only dangers. So I propose to make heat useful. Normal reactor runs at 100% capacity. Let’s increase that by heating it up, for a cost of course.
First of all. You can turn off reactor and remove modules and cells only when reactor is cold. You can’t just take items out from it when whole world is burning around you, right?
Activation of cells and cooling items is performed by right clicking on them in GUI.
When reactor heats up its fuel efficiency also rises. But a chance of module failure appears. But, what happens when module fails? For cooling item like vent it means, it just stops working. A vent failure means that your already hot reactor is getting hotter with every tick. Failure for fuel cells means that you cannot turn it off. So now you have a double problem. Your vent does not cool reactor down and your stuck cell just keeps heating it up. You still have a final solution. An “Emergency cooling cells”. They take a cooling slot but does not take part in normal reactor cycle and are one time use only. This cell will take a lot off heat out of reactor but will disappear when used. And since they take a cooling slot, they can also fail/get stuck and be unusable.
If you let too many modules to fail function, you are doomed with a sure meltdown.
So, you can run this reactor cold at 100% capacity and have it pretty much safe, so you can leave it alone till cycle ends. Or you can heat it up getting more power/steam but also risk module failures, so you have to keep an eye on it.
Sorry, I still think that water should be used only to generate steam when steam reactors are turned on.
If anyone thinks that this idea is worth actual debate, you can ask moderator to move it in to its own topic.
Sounds very cool. I love multiblocks bacause + realism + cost. Tough i wouldn't expect this to show up anywhere other than greg-tech, you should go suggest there. -
That is neat! Is it a recent quote or a older one? Greg-tech is probably (who am i trying to fool, it IS) my favourite addon for IC2. Just love the (relative) realism, and a new reactor, greg style would be awesome.
-
Thanks. Well i hope someone will do this...
Quotergeddon?
The idea is nice, but like sworddude just pointed out, Nuclear reactors have just been redone, the devs must tired of them. Still, i would love this as an addon, i already use reactor steam mode, given its more realistic.
-
But its for Science!And why? BECAUSE SCIENCE!
it actually sound funnier to me, when mythbusters do a stupid experiment, and I think of that.

Steam doesnt burn you. It cooks you. But it is hot so you will get damage.
Steam can be ejected of machines at very high temperatures, of course, water steam formed by water at 100 degrees only cooks, but ejected from a machine at 300, 500 or 800 degrees (whatever temperature you feel like, it only needs to be high), and it will burn you.
-
1. Dont necro post
and 2. I didnt mean the Steam irradiated you, it burns you.
You know.
Cause its steam.Steam just burns you. Tough it is very useful.
The only thing that is dangerous and irradiates you is Origin, stay away from it!
-
About the tread... Yea, i guess a blog post once a week or so would be nice, but if the lack of that brings us a better IC2, then I'm happy.
-
@bove No, its actually Sim City 4 Deluxe.
Dude. Fistbump. Love that game.
I was expecting simcity 2013 to be similar but... E.A GAMES! Greed in everything! (the sound when you started a EA game back in the day, PS2 or similar)
-
Seems a nice idea if its a tool.
As a block... could have its uses, but I prefer the tool form.

"Ok!"*Brings Creeper to Snakes DirtHut21*
MY DIRTHUT! also, its viper, not snake swordude
I will avenge... wait for it...
Bomber sound roaring dropping nuclear creepers and nukes on swordude main base. MHUHAUHAH

Spider + Skeleton = Jockey
My greatest fear is that mobs evolve to creeper + enderman = DEATH.
NO, SERIOUSLY,THINK ABOUT IT!... PZEUMM:.. PTSHHHH BOum

(Like a little kid smashing a fork and a spoon in a table waiting for food)
RA-DI-O-AC-TI-VITY! RA-DI-O-AC-TI-VITY! RA-DI-O-AC-TI-VITY!
I want this so bad, to have a nuclear reactor, a armorstand with a HAZMAT suit and a sign: All employees must wear HAZMAT suits prior to entering reactor room.
And before SirusKing rushes in complaining about the lack of radioactivity in a real reactor: Realism?! THIS! IS! MINECRAFT!!! (kicks physics and realism off the hedge) We demand HAYO and radioactivity is HAYO! -
8k for charcoal, 32k for coal and 128k for coal coke?
depends on the machine cost... 128k for coal coke seems to much, a normal generator get 16k if i remember well...

In about 100 Years it should be.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fusion_experimentsActually... there are plans for Fusion reactors to be operational by 2015-2019... The main problem with them is how to handle the massive ammount of energy and of course, how to start the reaction.
