    As I've read somewhere that electric minecarts will be implemented sooner or later.
    I've got an interesting addon for that.
    Is it possible to code minecrats in a way that they can connect to each other by combining an electric minecart with a slimeball or sticky raisin to make it "stick" to another cart.


    by doing this you could have an elelctric minecart in front, you sitting behind it and refueling with batteries, and up to 6 chestcarts behind yourself filled with mined goodies.

    Interesting Idea of industrial farming.
    But I'd like to break it down a notch ;)
    My idea for this topic would be an electric hoist with a net, you could then farm fish in a larger scale, cause fishing rods are a pain.


    recipe for Net would look something like this:


    String-Empty-String
    Empty-String-Empty
    String-Empty-String


    now we need to combine the net with something like a hoist:


    Copper-Copper-Copper
    refined Iron-Machine-refined Iron
    Copper-Electronic Circuit-Copper


    Might want to put this into new suggestion,or make it a topic inside suggestions, for many more ideas to be put together!!

    I love the idea, especially beecause you can traverse oceans faster than having to wait for iridium for legins.
    Or you could have several tier boats, like a steam boat bevor you can have a electric boat.

    I don't realy want to do that cause the idea is to build a tower of watermills producing energy and the recording is done at the bottom layers.
    So if I add another two layers to it the tin cables will burn.
    I'll use fibre glass cables for the next layers and tin for the top layers to prevent excessive energy loss.


    The dot are continues fibre glass cables didn't want to put them all in .

    Today i build a water tower similar to the suggested here : http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Water_Mill


    But cause there aren't any switchcables, I left them out.
    I've build 2 layers so far with copper cable, linked to an redstone powered (RP) LV transformer-> MV-Transformer(RP)->HV Transformer(RP)-> and back to LV again.
    It all runs into a Batbox.
    So by math of IC-Wiki its should produce 1,6 EU/t or less due to loss but measuring at the copper cables linking the water mills to the LV following happens:



    As far as I can tell it does not affect the batbox, so theres no energy loss, but its a real pain in the *** for wiring.
    It does produce energy.
    Oh and before someone gets all smart about measurment of HV, its not an HV cable I measured on.
