Try right-clicking ;) To be honest, I'll concede the vajra isn't the best tool for general mining. Its best uses IMO are for damage (better than any other melee weapon AFAIK), and clearing big areas that aren't quite big enough to be worth using a filler. I do like MPS, but it just feels a...

Actually quantum armour does have 1 big advantage over MPS: it can effectively supply energy for IC2 tools (specifically the vajra, which is a multitool unto itself). While MPS armour can also supply energy to IC2 tools, it only does so from energy in the chest piece, limiting storage capacity...

You can't.

If you have an industrial grinder, then you still get loads of bonus stuff even without mercury/sodium persulphate cells. I also don't think its worth building an ore processing system when it only works for 5 ores.

Doesn't it take like 20 minutes to process an ore with factorisation? I could find an extra ore from mining in that time.

It takes about 4.67 coolers per reactor (though with multiple reactors you have to round it up to 5 for 5*8=40, I just used an extra 2 to be safe). Also, with GT copper isn't really an issue (lava centrifuge ftw). By the way, I don't know if you were aware, but in 1.5 thorium & plutonium have...

I think he meant that iron is more useful than gold. When you think about it, gold isn't used that much at all in IC2. Its used in other mods, but people don't design their mods around other mods (unless its an addon to said mod). EDIT: Damn ninjas, its not my fault I type so slow :mad:

Okay, here's my nuclear setup. The first picture shows the reactors themselves, which are controlled by RP logic gates (because i'm completely inept with anything to do with computers, including CC). The reactors are set up like this. The second pictures shows some of the reactors that act as...

I second this. I think it would be a worthy addition to any pack with IC2 since it helps make (arguably) UP reactors more powerful.

So do I. I know GT, gravisuite etc do a fine job of keeping IC2 relevant, but it would be nice to see the mod itself get updated (if only to stop kids from hating on it for no good reason).

I totally agree Mash. I once tried out the magic pack to try to wean myself off of IC2, but I didn't really like it.

Meh, TE is overrated IMHO. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. Sure, you can get machines to input to other machines, but now with AE you can do that with ANY machine, and not wait about 10 years for it to process. Also I prefer eu for how you don't have to switch your generators off...

Just wondered because I noticed the MPS doesn't share energy with IC2 tools, which I would like to make use of. That, and I think I would still be invincible if I swapped out the quantum legs + boots with the MPS version.

Its not that, they retain their hear and everything, its just the heatup time is impractical for a big boiler when it isn't running 24/7.

I don't get why so many people are boiler addicts: the only time I ever used one I just powered it with a wither skeleton spawner (though i'm limited to SSP, that's part of the reason I guess). Are they really that good? Unfortunately my epic nuclear setup is on my laptop world, I can't post a...

I saw Dw20's mod spotlight on tinker's construct, and it looks pretty good (though having an electrically powered pick seems a bit weird, but I like all the customisation you get). Also: who else will be building a sorting system with just vanilla hoppers and comparators, even though there's...

About 10 minutes into my first mining expedition, a creeper (that I never even saw) blew up the floor, which was only 1 block thick and was right above a giant lava lake. Fun!

It works, thanks.

I will be redstone signals to control things in my latest build, which will be transmitted by red alloy wire. However, the redstone pulses also need to pulse redstone tubes. How can I connect the tubes to the red alloy wire?

Yes, it was changed. Now its more realistic (if there is such a thing in MC); it has potential for even more eu/t, but its also bigger and more complicated.
