Are you guys doing this through github with everyone coding things or what? To be honest this really seems like it could be a 1 coder job, and through personal experience it is much easier (for me at least) to work alone rather than waste the time needed to set something like github up.

I am the main coder and then I have two people helping me (not really coding for me just reviewing it and making it better).

urgh more multiblock. big. inevitably cookie cutter and blase'. looks like a forestry multiblock farm turned upside down layout wise.

won't work on a frame vehicle.

multiblock is for people with a survival difficulty fetish.(one third of the game modes mind you).

gimme a quantum generator with a solar panel top that has custom outputs for fulldaylight/weather and night, along with a copy of cobblestone with a solar texture so i can bury one doing the work block in a pile of pure aesthetics and performance friendliness!)

that microrant aside, it's a nice concept and here's to wishing you success.

Based on how easy this mod is, and my social/school life water/wind may come and even possibly lunar as someone in the thread earlier suggested.

Then this would be my suggestion. Since minecraft logic is not real world logic...

Instead of a solar tower multiblock item go with a more genartic "green power system" block build same 3x3xwhater you were goignto go with for the tower in the frist palce but then just have plug in modules for what sort of power sysetm it is.

Plug in solar modual and slap the cells on top and the mirrors around BAM solar tower.
Plug in wave modual and connect it to a wave motion unit sitting over deep water in an ocean biome BAM wave genterator
Plug in wind modual and eiterh slap a pole and blade on top or cnnect to other wind turbines stuff. BAM windfarm.

that sort of thing.

Though it'd be terribly ugly, I still like it.

And what about one that doesn't use up lava, just the heat it generates in the ground? Only in the overworld, below level 15, and the bigger the better! Yea people are going to use fillers to make max efficiency lava pools, but who cares?

The idea was that you could just use one core system and add new moduals to make it work fro what ever. Did not want to list all the ideas.

But Yeah

Geomothermal
Gravity based
Unicorn farts

Whatever you wanted to add would basicly be 1 Modual + what ever the extra mutliblock struction would be.

Maybe even allow for more then one modual to have mixed power systems.

Yep, java's not all that easy. Maybe "Obsidian Tools (ex: an overused and cliche mod that everyone makes fun of when they don't like mods--and if they do like mods, they'll still make fun of it because they're terrible mods)", but not anything cool.

Not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but I do have an idea regarding high-tier solars: make them require metamaterials like the ones we've been able to develop in the real world. Could call it something like a "Photon Distortion Plate." The way the experimental ones work is that they create something very similar to a black hole effect, forcing incoming light to bend into an area from which it can't escape, allowing the solar generator to operate much more efficiently and, consequently, producing more power.

As for what they'd require...not exactly sure, on that front. But, perhaps looking over this will give ya some ideas.
