What's that module that generates energy from heat? Wouldn't that work great with the kinetic generator?
Thermal Generator, and yes it would. However, I cannot recommend going anywhere far from a water source without a cooling core(?), especially in a hot biome or a cave. Otherwise, you tend to die fairly quickly.

I don't think a nuclear reactor would be a good idea, unless there was an extremely high chance that you could explode at any moment, especially while taking damage while wearing solid plating.

I wouldn't mind seeing a very expensive reactor that auto-ate uranium cells or the like. Would encourage me to make an auto-mining system, reactors, and ender pouch cell delivery system.

One small sleepless night for me, one giant leap for glowy bits in Minecraft!

This'll require people to upgrade their LWJGLs so they can have pixel shaders but according to the polls over 95% of users have cards which support them so :)

I imagine this'll throw a wrench in most technic launcher distributions though, no? I've had bad experiences trying to overwrite the platform-specific binaries with technic in the distribution zips.

If so, I will have some harsh words with someone in charge of such things.

The guidelines I got were that you should only override the minecraft.jar with your forge minecraft. But that was informally back before the TL folks had written documentation.

Btw MM, can you send swift kicks of hastening justice over to your friends on MPSA? We're stuck on a build that crashes when we touch the glow panel for any suit of armor and can't upgrade because it breaks MPSA. I refuse to give up "the pressure cooker" as I've affectionately named my armor in the desert, but I also want glowz.

MPSA made a hacky fix today but he's in crunch time for school. The latest versions should work together (take 500 if you prefer not to upgrade lwjgl)

There are a lot of plans being made to update to a modern LWJGL in various camps so I think this will be a lot easier soon.

Cool. We're still struggling with just balancing on the knife edge between 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 for now.

Oh, and "UE quality".

Just some funny feedback, some of us have actually been using our powersuits as generators. We basically run around damp biomes and charge our systems to max, then dump them into existing batteries and repeat. I do not think this is bad or unbalanced in any way since player time is the most valuable resource of all (see also Quartz Grindstone of AE and Clockwork Engine of Forestry), but I thought you would enjoy the idea.

I actually have a snowy biome with a lava bath as of last night. It's my Power Spa. :D See the Biomes vs EBXL picture I posted for the locale.

Not really, it just means my graphics card is better than yours and I need to work out what the minimum requirements are, as well as put safety checks. This is why they are experimental!
