Minus solars. They don't make IC2 more "healthy"

IC2 is dead not because ore processors are bad. It's dead because it doesn't add anything. It's old. People who wanted to play with terraformers, did that even in IC1. No new generators, no new machines. Saying that "there's nothing to improve" is just wrong since we have tons of examples -...

Umm. If RP and F just had their good concepts produce more commonly used power like RC/AE/MFR does, that would be better. imagine that we need to build a separate network for - IC2 - BC - RC - RP2 - Factorization - MFR - AE - etc. That would be a disaster. Power converters solve the problem...

That's a bit stupid. TE doesn't seem to rely on its engines. Nowadays, mod doesn't have to be huge and completely self-sufficient to be good. Some mods produce power, some give machines, some add transport and so on. For example I don't see any need for Factorization or RedPower power networks...

Combustible lemons that'll burn your house down!

Not yet. Poppy, take some explosives in my chest and help us to kill it. If you want efficiency - use RC engines. But yeah, BC power is different.

I don't make a flamewar, too. I'm just saying that it's not IC2 replaces TE, it's TE processors replaces or not IC2 ones because they are a valuable option and not TE nor IC2 ones are clearly better than other one. And also, advanced machines are a different story. It's an addon to IC2, not IC2...

I make the machine when I need it :3 You switch macerators -> GT grinder, I switch pulverizer -> GT grinder (If I don't have Mekanism). Not a big difference. And actually TE machines are faster than IC2 ones without upgrades. I don't feel like making tons of overclockers, since they are a pain...

Um. Actually, if you started talking like that, it means something. A long ago IC2 was the only mod people started with. It was like Furnace -> Generator + Macerator + E-Furnace and so on every single game. Now it have changed. Most people start with RC engines + pulverizer/PFurnace. It is IC2...

IC2 is dead. IC2 power network, API and such stuff are not.

Wery slightly :3 Doesn't help actually for fusion. But that's issue bothers fusion much more than fission. 6 cells for 20-30 minutes is much better than 1 cell for 8 seconds.

OK, thank you for the explanation. And that's not for energy, that's for resources :3

How long do they live on one rod? Maybe... I don't know how to get them :D Oh. Does that mean that... AS Fission -> lazor -> uranium -> compressor -> fissile fuel rods -> AS Fission... The only problem is the... freakin' tin cells. I guess it gives tin, too so that's not that bad...

Nice, ED, I guess I want a lazor, too. Don't have enough powah to run it at the moment, though

I guess the main thing that made solid gens so good - is a possibility to make good fuel farms. Actually, currently there's no reason to build non-renewable power sources except maybe for IC2 reactors since they have a good lifetime and you can dig a lot of uranium and use that for a pretty good...

Agreed. Each solar costs a generator and other materials to run (circuits, for example) Each generator produce 10 Eu/t. If you automate them, you will save 10x iron + tons of wire and so on with same power output. And for me it's more interesting to do so than to spam solars.

Yep, I meant Adv/Compact Solars. I just didn't want to bring another power holywar in the thread. Considering that most of the people on this forum use Ultimate/DW20, they have Adv/Compact Solars installed. I'm glad that you didn't add them to RR pack, since that would be just... bad. Oh, if...

It's both, actually. Reactors by design have a disadvantage - they have a running cost. Solars did have other disadvantage - big footprint, but, you know. It's an old story, I don't think we should talk of it here. Back to topic, maybe it is better to make a tower of single-cell reactors to...

It is... sad that we need to build such complicated systems with a running cost to only get close to solar arrays. Do you see what solars did to IC2? But your design is impressive, no doubts.

Yes they are. But I don't care. *flies away using his powersuit*
