Any good Red power alloy wire replacements?

[Celldweller]

Pretty much as the title says. Looking for a good replacement to Red Power's red alloy wire. I just love how this stuff looked and functioned. Is something in the works that replaces this, or is there something out there already? I love how you could place it on a wall or whatever and you wouldn't knock your head on it or trip on it seeing how it didn't take up much of a block at all. Anyways love the packs keep up the great work!

Redlogic

This is a mod that adds timers and red alloy wiring like rp2 used to have. Its made by Immbis who also makes a type of microblocks you can use. He actually has quite a few mods as well as a version of advanced machines for Ic2.

Doesn't either MFR or Minefactory have a pretty decent red alloy wire?

 

[Celldweller]

Awesome I'll have to check out red logic. Thanks Grydian2

I've just noticed something probably overlooked in Redlogic.

Why are the dyes over the iron ingots when the metal bit is the driver itself?
Also 2 ingots for a screw driver...? C'mon.

 

[Grydian2]

The other timers are super cheap as well as 16 red alloy wire for 1 iron ingot and 6 redstone...

That'll probably change once the whiners proclaim it too OP.

MFR has Rednet Cable, which functions pretty much like Bundled Cable which can output any color on any face.

Granted, Rednet Cable runs more like Jacketed Wire rather than the insulated wire, but same basic concepts apply.

The Programmable Rednet Controller can handle a lot of different things simultaneously, but is kind of an expensive block.

 

[Succubism]

MFR doesn't have that in anything prior to 1.5 though, right?

Couple of reasons I bring this up is the first reason up top but even Direwolf20 kinda made a comment about it in Season 5 episode 8 I think it was he was setting up bio gas on the forge craft server and it looked terrible the way he had to do it. It seriously looked bad compared what it could look like with red alloy wiring. For something to be put in the official packs to replace this lol. I just wonder how other people are getting around this with the mods that are included.

Honestly considering Immibis has been arguing with greg for months about adding back in the tin buckets so I kinda doubt it. Immibis does not perscribe to the make it cost more and take longer crowd.

Minefactory Reloaded is in the official 1.5x packs. It isn't the same as red alloy wire but try it and I think you will like it. I don't know if you have watched the later episodes of Direwolf's Season 5 Server Play but...

Spoiler

...he uses the rednet cable alot once MFR got added to ForgeCraft (I think after episode 19) so there are examples there.

Project Red
Has logic, microblocks, red alloy wire and a few other bits and pieces. Haven't used the logic yet but the wire is a direct replacement of red alloy wire down to the recipe and the microblocks are flawless fewer versions but who did use the anti-covers anyway?? but they are not in the 1.6.2 release as Forge Multipart does it instead.

 

[casilleroatr]

I have used anticovers

 

[Grydian2]

Immibis's microblock work just like rp2's and strips block redstone signals like in rp2.

It's Minecraft, it doesn't have to make sense. And it's an unlimited-uses screwdriver, unlike RedPower's.

Rednet cable from MFR is great. It's in the Unleashed pack and let's you place free-floating redstone paths

Edit: after re-reading the OP I don't know if rednet is what you want. It's not a surface-trail wiring. It's free-floating. Much like the insulated blutricity cabling from redpower. it does take space. But it also has some advantages - you don't need to place blocks to train it on. you can send it through the air or under what you are wiring and you can place a switch right on the end of the wire, not requiring a block for that either.

 

[SatanicSanta]

Redstone dust always works.

Edit: Just re read the OP. Wireless Redstone would probably be your best bet, that or Rednet.

It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be realistic to the point it's not overpowered.
While still making sense.

This is why we girls have issues with ftb.

Not entirely sure what being female has to do with wanting a system with continuity.

The only one I've had interaction with is rednet cabling, which doesn't quite work like red allow wire, more like jacketed wire. Except that you can't hide it.

I was being satirical, I didn't mean it literally, but if you want to be pedantic it's in their early programming.
Blame the parents.
