I managed to get an advanced machine from my induction furnace with the electricwrench.. pretty sure that's a bug though.
Truthfully early game movement of machines is very vital to players, it'd be totally painful if the basic wrench sucked anymore than it already did, as it stands you waste a significant portion of resources on failures as is in a vital time of player development.
I swear I posted it, I absolutely swear. Wtf the link is gone.
Grr.. I'm at work again, I'll look into it when I get home..
Shadowclaimer if your system lags your pc to death its the system fault. It should have a overflow system. Just dump the excess items in lava or something. I did that to my cactus farm too (10 cactus per sec can freeze minecraft pretty fast).
It never reaches that point, or at least it shouldn't. As I said with three chests pumping 4 orange engines pushing items out of 3 full double checks there were no issues except a little lag.
I doubt I'll ever bother with something that could lag my system lol
I'm going to ask, can you do a compatibility add-on for the Advanced Machines and Advanced Solar Panels add-ons? I really want the advanced machines to look nice with this pack.
I can try to make some tiles for them later, I was contemplating doing a buildcraft/redpower set but I realized they don't pull texturepacks like IC does, so I'll have to wait for those.
But yea I'll make some for those possibly, no promises, but it'll give me something else to work on 
Can i has map now shadow?
Grr.. I keep forgetting.. I'm at work right now and won't be home probably till tomorrow (leaving work to go hang with a friend)
I'll try to remember, I'll drill myself to remember, I'll send myself an email lol
I would just like a legit powered lift. Would be nice to have an elevator.
With RedPower2's block breaker, you can easily make a cobble gen that could overwhelm this
Although I can't get over the feeling that that would be "cheating" or something
Impossible to overwhelm it'll just cycle the cobblestone around the middle until your client crashes from too many items being on screen!
My machine is unbreakable, however your PC is not xD
Display MoreFirst time poster, long time reader.
First a massive thank you for creating the mod, has really brought my SMP server alive for my small group of friends.
Suggestion:
A backpack which can hold more carbon foam (preferably in pellet form) for reloading the CF sprayer.
Reason: I've fallen in love with the CF sprayer as a way of coating tunnels and caves for that evil genius lair look - works really well once you start splashing a bit of paint about the place in your underground nuclear facility. We've also taken to spraying the walls of old quarrys to make huge fluid reservoirs (oil, water, lava, whatever) - yeah, sometimes I've resorted to mcedit to get more oil once we've burned our supply rather than having to expand the world through exlporation in order to find more. Obviously we prefer legit, so the materials required in Cf coating the quarry walls first are the price we paid.
Needless to say, it takes a LOT of reloads to do a job that large!
Would possibly require a new machine to allow backpack charging - charging from an batbox/MFE/MFSU makes no sense. Either that or perhaps make the pack single use.
Thank you for taking the time to read this - anyone else on board with it?
A backpack that stores CF Pellets for large scale spraying operations would be highly welcome to me. I burn through that stuff constantly.
A new kind of storage box that ouputs redstone when full (instead of being switched on/off by redstone) could be interesting, I could see some uses in that.
Also making it a whole new storage system instead of a feature of the batbox makes it easier to implement.
If you have the Advanced Wooden Pipes from the Buildcraft Additional Pipes mod, you can actually put the extraction pipe anywhere, set it to Matter, and it'll pull ti regardless of side.
I use it for pulling scrap from the bottom of recyclers and such.
Display MoreJust to drop the note, i've decided to continue working on CPUs and actually coded quite a good bit of the control kernels.
Currently working on command parsers, then gonna add library support and then need to write the GUI.
I hope to finish the first beta version of CPUs for this weekend, so betatesters can start debugging it.
A public release should, depending on the time uni starts eating from me, be scheduled in ~1-5 weeks.
Btw, i decided to call the system "Albos" :3 Sounds professional, imho.
AlbOS?
lol that's awesome =D
The ability to configure the power usage for about any machine would be nice.
Quarries, Cactus Farms, Minefactory Fishers
I output to a dispenser and fire scrap boxes into an obsidian pipe then sort the results, stuff I want gets shipped back to my base, stuff I don't want gets re-recycled.
You know the concept of a metal sign that updates based on the power level of a machine wouldn't be bad, you could place it on the wall above a machine and it'd show how much power the machine has/is using or whatever.
awesome texture. i'm glad they're adding on/off for storage and such. it's nice that each block will get their own special sides. honestly on the copper cable, they look horrid. but that's mostly cause of how IC cable works. i wish IC's cable were more like eloraam's cable. i know they don't work the same way, but hers are just so awesome. well at least we don't have giant full size block cables, those were just ridiculous.
Yea you can manually remove the cable texture if you want, just go into the texture's .zip, sprites, I think its cable_0
Its still in its infant stages, I included it as a bonus preview for what's to come. The big issue with cables right now is that their north face (and only their north face it seems) is screwy.
If you guys could post screenshots of some of your machine setups with this tileset on I'd be appreciative
IIRC, uu-mater recipes are shape dependent (not shapeless), so that gives you 2^9 possibilities (512 combinations); not even considering using uu-mater to alter existing matter.
*edit, uu-mater
Then I better get started.
Afaik the only rare natural dye2 you cannot create with UUM yet are black dye and cocoa beans.
Will add those 2 with a cheap UUm recipe (no reason to make them extraordinary expensive). Exspecially since painting a load of CF-Blocks black to create stylish and functional streets would take loooooooooads of hunting squids.
*runs off to test recipes for Bonemeal*
actual electronics-grade silicon is waaaay more of processing the sand than getting it, just the water purification required for the process cost more than base material
ore looks more of a nonsense to me
just my 2c
A silicate mineral of a high base purity could effectively be used to create electronics grade silicon if processed properly. Realistically, no, its never going to happen because such high purity materials don't exist, and the machines necessary to purify them to a useable point would be ridiculous.
But we're talking about a game where you stab a stick into a stone and it outputs a miracle power source. I think we can skip on the purity levels of silicon for the sake of gameplay here
