Thumbs up, WAY up! And perhaps steel scaffolding?
Please don't make me use my precious iron. Oh Gods please no.

Iridium Reinforced Stone suggestion. Basically everything-proof stone. That takes a REALLY LONG TIME to mine. And can be pushed by pistons so you can have a reservoir of it to have a chamber self-rebuild.
Exactly that. Something almost as hard as bedrock, but movable with pistons as to make piston doors and such.
Key points:
-Takes a REALLY long time to mine no matter the tool. Think Iron pickaxe on Obsidian long (unless I'm thinking wrong and that's impossible >.>).
-Moveable by pistons
-Blast resistant (to the point of being actually capable of withstanding a nuclear blast at the cost of itself, with no other damage to outside)Hell, you could increase the cost too, or just create the "Obsidiamond plating" I stated initially. Just lookin' for a stronger material!

Ok, So it's 2 chests. One is the "base chest" you have back at home. The other is a "Wormhole Backpack" you carry around with you, and is "keyed" like a teleporter is, to that base chest. When you want to get the items in the base chest, you simply set down your Wormhole backpack like a normal chest, and access the inventory that is at home. When you're done, you smash the chest (nothing falls out because it's technically sitting in the base chest) and continue on your way.
The recipe for the base chest would be something like Personal Safe + Advanced Circuit + (Advanced Machine or a Teleporter),
the wormhole backpack would be Personal Safe + Advanced Circuit + FreqTrans or something. -
My issue with reinforced stone is: It doesn't feel reinforced.
It comes apart like paper when you use a drill on it, and it doesn't do much to stop a nuclear explosion unless you have more than 3 layers of it (which is a lot; ~(9x9x9 - 3x3x3) = ~700 reinforced stone to cover a reactor with 3 layers. More if you want to surround it by water.)Ok, how about this then: Increase the mining time (and possibly blast resistance) of reinforced stone. For the resources that go into it, I'd rather just mine Obsidium with a Diamond Drill then use up precious iron to create blocks of re. stone.
OR
Decrease the blast strength of Nuclear explosions so that Obsidium/Re.Stone can actually bear the brunt of an explosion, and I don't end up losing all my nearby machines/life/cool building.
(These are of course suggestions, not demands :P)

How about doors (made out of, say, Reinforced stone) that only open with the player that placed them there opens it. Also, completely indestructible; comparable to a door version of a personal chest.
And while we're on the subject of indestructable things, perhaps near industructable blocks (like reinforced stone, but with the blast resistance of Obsidian (or bedrock) and can't be removed except by a the player who placed it using a wrench. Maybe crafted from a Diamond surrounded by 8 Obsidian = 8 Obsidiamond plating (prononced "Ob-sid-I'M-ond"). (I copyright that word btw. For use by Alblaka and his team only. :P)
What I'm getting at here is: advanced plating from which to create invincible (or highly secure) factories for SMP, and to seal nuclear reactors from the rest of your build. (Not that any of you will tempt fate with supercharging those bombs-to-be).

"Reinforced concrete / glass can protect the surrounding from a nuclear explosion with the cost of itself. But only obsidian can fully absorb a nuclear explosion without damage."
-IC^2 Wiki (http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php/Secret:Nuke)My tests have shown that both the bomb, and the over-cooked reactor will destroy up to 2 layers of both reinfored concrete/glass and also obsidian. However, the wiki states that it should be contained. Is this a bug? Or are the blasts WAI?
