Why are you assuming that overclockers use an inverted-parabola (-x^2) model? All we know is the overclocker increases energy usage at a faster pace than time usage.
Good question. I suppose we could look at the code, or determine the energy costs and rates via experiments, and then plug them into an equation solver.
Thats why they should only accept ~5 eus of storage from wires, and up to the standard 10k from batteries. That way, cut the wire, they die in one second, but a battery will keep em running for a while.
How about we get an addon to do this?
Oh, and get convinent movement mod, I think its called, which includes auto-sneak, in addition to other things, I certainly never lose sneak state (even with inventory open)
add a cobble chest with 1,5 times space would be nice
Also impossible, since you cannot have 40 and a half slots.

Is it possible for this to not have industrialcraft as a requirement? because it would make a very nice stand-alone mod on its own, as is.
Display More(Yeah im cool suggesting things for stuff that have just been recently released)
Anyway, i just had the idea of adding these 2 simple upgrades for our machines:
Battery Input: Will allow to increase the Battery Tier our machine can handle, from Rechargeable Batterys > Energy Crystals > Lapotron. These upgrades are non stackable (Only 1 per slot), so if you want to go from Battery to Lapotron you need to use 2 spaces for it.
Storage Space (Input/Output): As the name implies, this upgrade will "Increase" or more like "Add" more storage for their respectives slots, Each Upgrade can be stacked to a maximum of 4 and will give 2 extra slots per upgrade. There also could be a mix upgrade that increase the slots from both input and output by 1 each per upgrade, maximum stack 4. (Maximum Storage per machine: 8 for input and 8 for output, extra upgrades will do nothing)
I may have more upgrades in mind, but im still waiting for Scumbag EE to update because i cant live without those alchemical bags QQ so i cant exactly play around with the new system.
You know, I expected the transformer upgrade to already allow the higher tier batteries. So I partly support that.
I support storage space upgrade, although it will likely be somewhat difficult to add.
Ive done about 5 or so.
One particularly amusing event however, was on my old IC1 server, where me and a friend decided that this particular floating island was annoying. So we went, and set up a nuke.
Now, when he went in and punched it, he said, Via voice chat, Wait a second, where did it go? About 3 seconds later, I realized that the multiplayer bug with industrial-tnt was true for nukes as well (where the object does not appear once broken, but it still works). So, I was like RUN AWAY!
I then started digging straight down through the island, and unfortunately failed to get away before it exploded. Quite an amusing little event.
Yes, pumpkin overlay is included as static hook in the basefile. Doesn't change much about the issue we cannot use the same hook, because it's an eclusive (if pumpkin then display overlay) thingy. With some creativity i could probably create an helmet inheriting the pumpkin class and messing and blahr and get something displaying the pumpkin overlay as well. Still not a nightvision, though.
Can you somehow change the brightness option to maximum when you put a Q-helmet on, and reduce it to a stored value when removed? Also, If you could save the old value in the file, then it would also be able to have correct brightness automatically on game load.
Would be useful for semi-public servers, as opposed to the totally private friend servers (where you generally would use iron chests, which are much larger, just not protected)
Anyhow, DO WANT
Great additions indeed! Just a few notes, not sure if all are bugs so:
-If you hit and "destroy" a camouflaged FF block, it returns to it original form until you turn off and on the projector again.
Ive seen the same with zapper, but because I was using a mod that adds mobs able to destroy blocks, it may have been a result of a bad removal method.
-If you walk on a FF bridge that connects to a building with an entrance 2 blocks high, you can't unless you jump a bit first.
Does it act like soulsand? Because that sounds like how soulsand works, except that I do not recall ever sinking slightly into forcefields from this mod.
-It would be nice if the zapper upgrade would have its own switch, so if I connect it to a projector it stays in the default state (no damage) and starts glowing red when an additional redstone pulse is applied, in that way I wouldn't have to remove the upgrade anytime I want to turn the zapper off, but not the field. Other way to approach it is like the directional extender does, adding an scale from 0 to 3, so if you set it to 0 it turns the damage off, 1 is low, 2 medium and 3 is high damage.
Possibly one could simply take a redstone signal to the upgrade block, but the UI for multiple levels of zappiness.
It always outputs to one cable. He is also using a casuc reactor, meaning he is using redpower to rapidly fill it with water buckets/ice for cooling, with the rest filled with tons of uranium cells.
As well, the official wiki IS near-exclusively community-based. But people are too lazy to actually contribute.
Many ones don't know a "Wiki" is actually a colletion of knowledge gathered and combined by as many persons as possible and instead assume it's some sort of developer driven support side.
I did contribute a while back, on a few things that were easy to determine through experimenting, or from forum posts, like reactor breeding tick requirements, new teleportation equation, as well as a number of UUM recipies (which were obviously removed).
The issue is that most of the information the wiki is missing either requires someone to do significant careful experimentation (which tend to be impossible for multiplayer testing due to dysyncs), Require someone to decompile and figure out the code(I had fun last time with base minecraft, with simple non-descriptive variables names and so on), or require a developer to actually enter it(The easiest, except ofc that it IS a wiki, like you said). There is likely a small amount that is obvious, and a small amount that is simply forbidden.(UUM, Nuke, Synthetic gunpowder, glowstone (I think))
So its not just laziness.
Also it'll automatically create stacks of identical blocks in close columns. It requires some abusive behavior to cause performance issues with that.
Makes me think of that bukkit addon that automatically made blocks automatically merge into stacks if they were within ~3 blocks of each other, which I seriously want for singleplayer.
SAWDUST BOMBS!! I'd forgotten about those! A bucket of sawdust, a flare and a blast of compressed air is all you need. Seems like a fun way of getting explosives, and it would allow those who play on peaceful to get TNT and dynamite.
Are you sure you cant just combine redstone and coal dust to get gunpowder?
i want to shield a really large object but alot of the shields are limited to a very tiny radius like the tube could do with the ability to modify both its dimensions so i can have a really long tube that is more easily shaped to fit my goals and long enough for the more advanced ideas 20 for a tube seems short in all respects
I agree. Perhaps make more upgrades to add this flexibility (as in longer maximum values)
Also, The ability to manually, via 3 more values, offset the starting point, would also help significantly, so I could, say, be evil, and make a sphere, powered externally, to trap anyone who rudely gets too close to my house, and then somehow kill them.. Hmmm...
Also, tube projector, offset so that the potential door in your field can actually be projected by a HIDDEN projector, as opposed to it having to be on the edge of the field, easily visible, unless you make the tube massive in radius...
With forestry you can (slowly) make dirt from cobble. Set up multiple peat farms. One stack of bog earth uses half a stack of dirt and half a stack of sand (=cobble), but turns into a full stack of dirt. It is slow, but you get some nice fuel while doing this. I had 4 peat farms running and had too much peat, even a setup of ~25 peat engines sending it into a EU-converter couldn't burn everything. Ended up feeding it into a recycler^^
Sounds like you need...
200 peat engines, to power your mass fabritor!
One issue Is that aside from the easy to do information that is disallowed (UUM), It requires either a developer, A person who decompiled the code and can figure it out, or someone who sets up a significant experiment, many of which are impossible to do in single player, to be able to determine how stuff works.
Before I get a quantum suit, I use bronze armor. I also use a bronze hoe. Aside from that, the Sword/Axe is covered by the chainsaw, and the pick and shovel is covered by the drill. So bronze IS useful, but not THAT useful.
Ofc, With my using redpower 2, I tend to use a gem hoe instead, but w.e.
Now, If bronze was available earlier, like before you got a macerator or something, I would say it is reasonably useful. Oh, and I use it all the time, Making advanced alloy.
SSP or SMP...Version ??
Are you sure it isn't just a result of the forcefield chopping it off when it activates?
not to mention reinforced glass. creeper proof solar bunker anyone?
Recharge nodes scattered on the map anyone? Just drive your quantum-suit up, drop it in, 10 seconds later, good to go, and it recharges constantly :p
So instead you'll have random chest hovering over areas where something/one decided to nuke your entire base?
That's... very funny. I'd like to see the hilarious stories that occur with this change.
Heh, yea.
Alternatively, Disallow opening of personal chests that have something atop of them, like normal chests, so as to require a lot of gaps. Actually, that wont work, just requires some offsets, so yea, ignore super durabile materials.
