A pack idea I'm thinking about

I attempted making a pack like this a while ago. It was really fun to play, but horribly unbalanced. Still a blast though.

Oh it'll be there. But the question to be answered by this thread is "how many different ways can we power the ferret?"

I'd create a new power type... use something like transparent item ducts with coils at each end that generate power from passing magnets. Kind of a capacitance based system, except instead of being measured in farads, it's measured in ferrets, who run around inside the tubes with magnetic collars on.

This is amazing.
SOMEONE GET ON THIS! XD

Question: do the ferrets require food? How do you get them to move? Electric prods? This system isn't *entirely* unrealistic, depending on how you motivate the ferrets.

a more humane and probably more fun way would be having 2 or more points in the tube to drop small amounts of food

Another option... There's a mod (I can't remember the name) that just added a power generation method using machines that toss Enderpearls from one to the next, with some pretty tight timing.

In a similar vein, build a multi-block structure with those new bounce pads from Vanilla (1.8) as a floor, glass panes for walls and fill it with Ferrets who proceed to do the "Weasel War Dance"

It's called RFTools, and the mod author (@McJty) is making another mod specifically about generating RF. It's pretty neat; there's going to be a great big refinement system and some kind of pollution.

DOWN WITH RF, FERADS FOR UNIVERSAL POWER!!

I keep imagining something like ReC's tokamak reactor, but with a plasma ferret running between the toroid magnets.

Nonono, ferrets.

"Oh no, the ferret is overheating!"
"Quick, deploy the control rods fish!"
*douses ferret in fish, prompting ferret to cool down as it is totally distracted by eating fish*

Ferret induction motor

Ferret induction motor

Obviously a candidate for the "Duct Tube Induction" generator. All we have to do is use this system MineMarten pranked Direwolf and Soaryn with last week, to make the squeaky toy sound move around...
