I would love to use cc in my survival world, however I dont because I believe it is overpowered. Not because it can replace every single other mod, no I believe they are just too cheap, I believe instead of requiring Redstone it should require a computer core. A Computer core should require at least three diamonds. I also believe it should be encased in iron, and the advanced computers should require an advanced core. Also turtles should need a movement core, requiring enderpearls. Does anyone else share these opinions?
It make rp2 computers utterly redundant

This is not the ComputerCraft forums. If you want to suggest your own changes to ComputerCraft, I suggest you go to their forums. You can find them here: http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/

Specifically, the suggestion forum is here: http://www.computercraft.info/forums2/index.php?/forum/20-suggestions/

And the first thread you should read before making any posts on that topic is here: http://www.computercraft.info/forum...0425-suggestions-not-to-make-read-this-first/

Good luck!

Thanks for telling me where to find it, I was going to look for it in abit, I wanted to see what people in general thought first

IMO, for actual balance, Turtles would require a few Nether Stars.

And that's only to make one-fiftieth of the turtle, which you then craft together with grey goo and some coconuts to produce a working turtle core, which you then combined with iridium to make your turtle construct, which you then need to power with 50,000,000,000eu, right? Yay for balance, yay!

No worries, mate. You're going to find a lot of people that agree that it is not balanced, and others that will disagree and say that it is balanced. And, as a small spoiler, ComputerCraft's forums will not give you any useful information as the author has no interest at all in making the recipes more expensive. Your best bet would be to convince a programmer to assist you with making an addon for ComputerCraft that make the recipes more expensive. Perhaps Greg of GregTech would be receptive, eh? Heh heh heh.
 
Not overpowered at all imo.

E: That is to say the current recipes are perfectly fine in my eyes.

When's the next Gregtech update?

I don't think they're overpowered, I think it's good to have something that fills up the early-midgame tier. Gets kind of annoying when every mod starts at around late gold tier and early diamond-tier. Then you just have to play vanilla until you get to the mods..

I do however think that they should use fuel not only when moving, but also like when melee turtles are attacking. Or even a bit of coal to do certain things like programming and getting things from pastebin. I think they should take a little more work, but not be endgame things. Really though, making things require Nether Stars when they don't involve mobs all (except for melee turtle, that should require one for 3 melee turtles or something) doesn't make things more balanced or difficult. It just makes it a huge pain for tech-oriented and Peaceful players. I mean, it's fine if the Charged Gravity Gun requires it, because it's really good. It's fine if a sword or really good armor requires it, because it directly relates to mob hunting. But for instance, a forestry tree farm, which just grows trees, isn't. It'd make sense to nerf it and make it require double the amount of ingots or raw materials, but not something in the combat endgame.

That would just be ridiculous, however your sarcasm about balance is misplaced as I can guarantee you would hate Amy game which lacked all balance

Even without that at the end of the day it isnt hard to make a program, doesnt matter how messy it is

for YOU or for me or for someone with a basic grasp of LUA yeah it's not that hard to make a program. But to make a program that is actually useful to the point where the materials that go into the thing is far below what that computer does... well it takes a bit of skill

I personally spent hours coding my own programs for my computers and turtles, so I don't find them to be that powerful.

I can understand finding them too powerful if the only thing you do with them is find them a program on the internet, because that requires nearly no skill from yourself.

That being said, I still don't want to be forced to code the same stuff on each world, because the interface is just way better with a standard notepad, at least for a frensh keyboard where most special character require the ALT key, that also serves to open the "menu" in the edition mode.

I'm not sure what game Amy has, but I cannot hate it without more data.

Silliness aside, by your own claim, ComputerCraft lacks balance, and I do not hate it. You guarantee is, as such, void. Please do not attempt to guarantee things that you cannot possibly guarantee, as it is fairly illogical.

As a more general note, ALL games have some level of balance issues, especially when you start adding modifications to the game's rules. As I've already given you the data on the correct way to attempt to address that, I'll give you the other part of the data: You can remove ComputerCraft if you find it unbalanced, which will limit the damage it does to you. Good luck!
