To make it harder, duh. I would also like such a nerf Also, perhaps from greg a nerf that stops you from picking lava up with an iron bucket. At least a steel bucket would be needed (of course he could just make regular buckets require steel instead and add some kind of Bronze bucket for water.

Well, actually, it's to make cobblestone more valuable. I know you can still acquire massive amounts of it from mining and quarrying, but I didn't say I wanted it to be just getting diamonds or anything. Just to make it an abundant but non-renewable resource, as it should be.

EDIT: SegFaulter: That sounds rather familiar...

Just noticed something else: Project Red marble and basalt don't have macerator recipes into their respective dusts.

Greg adds his own cobblegenerator... (Rock Crusher)

I don't Want infinite cobble generators, I want to disable them all. I know how to disable the machines, but without removing vanilla cobble generators it's rather moot...

Hey Greg, could you update your infinite water nerf?

Also, could you please make a mod that disables infinite cobble generators? I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to just make glass instead of stone/cobble when flow blocks hit.

Probably.

Also, there's always diesel and thermal generators. Thermal generators especially are a hugely powerful power source.

Also also, could we have a limestone dust with an automatic oredict recipe turning anything registered as limestone into it? And obviously a centrifuge recipe as well.

... I really wish this forum had the like button now, just because of that post, lol...

That would be a rather expensive prank to pull on someone... And a rather minor one at that, considering how easy experience is to amass.

Also, I was thinking of it just pulling from, like, one block away. So they would have to be confined right up next to the block for that to work...

Oh, and an addendum to the idea I just thought of: Also allow this mode to suck up experience orbs in the same range.

An idea for the magic energy absorber: A mode which absorbs experience from adjacent players or players that are on top of it, converting it into fuel directly rather then requiring another mod to convert it to liquid first.

He isn't, or if he is, he still has a point.

Seriously, even steel armor isn't as good as bronze, and is supposed to be a tier above it. Why not just nerf bronze to be an iron-equivalent 60% but with more durability? Instead of messing with the diamond armor, which as stated will mess with other mod's balance.

Not to mention that even with iron-level armor, overworld enemies are a joke...

Do you have any plans to change the recipes to use the new uranium from experimental? The only way to get an ingot now is to cook the ore in a furnace, which is horribly inefficient...

Quote from Epic Lulz

If you mean the Bronze Blast Furnace, it is already supported. However, if you mean the Industrial Blast Furnace, I don't think we can use coke yet.

Second one. That's what I'm asking for.

It would also be nice if we could use Coal Coke instead of just coal in a blast furnace... When will Coal Coke Dust be added?

It would be nice to have red/black granite dust centrifuge recipes, for those who don't want to build with the stuff...

According to Wikipedia, granite is composed primarily of Feldspar, Quartz, and Mica, making it primarily silicon and oxygen but still with a good bit of aluminum, with lesser amounts of potassium, sodium calcium, iron, and even trace amounts of titanium and manganese. (There's a very nice little graph of average composition if you scroll down in the first link) Obviously balance should trump realism in this, but that should give you some inspiration for what a centrifuge recipe could yield.

Is it too late to ask if you could add Railcraft? Perhaps with the rolling machine disabled? I'd love to join this server, though I hate the vanilla minecart system...

Just a little thing I've been wanting for awhile: Greg, could you add a recipe for compressing 1 sandstone into 1 cobblestone, as well as a crafting recipe for 1 silicon cell + 1 compressed air cell = 16 sand? This can be useful for those who choose not to use cobble generators, or just have way too much silicon and don't want ten thousand solar panels or advanced circuits.

EDIT: Also, it would be nice if you changed your sandstone compressor nerf to require 3 sand instead of 4...

Yeah, it's working now.

The tab just says "Connecting..." forever, and never actually loads the page. Is anyone else getting this? Is there another place I can go to to get the latest IC2 experimental version?

Quote from CrazyCrafter

Greg, how about adding solar panel arrays that consist of normal blocks(not tile entity) in a rectangle with a "control" block(tile entity) somewhere inside which outputs the EU generated by the array while having a gui, say, 3 numerical displays, each one showing one of the following: EU/t, length along x-axis, length along z-axis. The tile entity would be used to scan for a valid array and output the EU while the fact that the majority of the array was "normal blocks" would reduce the amount of resources required to process the whole thing. It could be slightly more efficient than normal solar panels, while costing the same amount of resources

This has been suggested so many times, and Greg himself has stated that he'll probably make one of these.

But four charcoal can already be used in a bronze blast furnace to make steel, why not keep the same logic in the industrial one? The cost is transfered from time to EU, so it's not really that big a deal balance wise.

Also, Greg please add a file + stone = chiseled stone recipe.

According to the recipe, anyway.

6 lapotrons at 10mil each + a MFE at 4mil = 64 million EU.
