Idea for Gregtech/Advanced Machines Addon (An all new addon)

[whizzball1]

Before you read this post: I have absolutely no programming knowledge at all whatsoever. This is an idea, if anyone wants to take it up, feel free!

Fission Powder, the strongest power source possible!​

Fission powder (not real) is an extract from redstone, tin, and iron that produces Fission Voltage, 32768 eu/t.​

Now before you say: "Whizz, that is op!" read this entire post. This will be more expensive and time consuming to make then a gravisuite. 32768 eu/t is very strong, and it cannot come with a low price. That is why my time spent thinking about this has paid off, and so I now present you with the most expensive recipe in Minecraft!​

​

The first machine you will need is the Fission Extractor, which takes a stack of redstone, iron, and tin and compresses it into "Very Impure Fission Powder." Before you say: "Whizz, that is still too cheap!" listen to the recipe: One Advanced Machines Extractor in the middle, 4 Highly Reinforced Stone Blocks in the corners, 2 Highly Advanced Electronic Circuits in the left and right middle, and 2 Highly Advanced Machine Blocks in the top and bottom middle.​

​

"How do you make Highly Advanced Electronic Circuits?" you ask. 6 Chrome in the top and bottom, 2 Advanced Electronic Circuits in the left and right middle, and one Tungstensteel Ingot in the middle. 'What about Highly Re--" I know what you want to hear next: for one and only one of these amazing blocks, able to withstand a nuke set to the highest power in config, you need 6 Reinforced Stone, 2 Chrome Blocks, and one Tungstensteel ingot.​

​

You might still say: "Whizz, that is still pretty cheap!" I don't know what is wrong with you, that was expensive enough. Fine, the processing needs 100,000 EU to run and-- "Still not satisfied." Let me finish: One hour to complete. "Ok, satisfied now."​

​

Now, if you remember, I said that the result was Very Impure Fission Powder. What does that mean? It means that it still has many traces of Iron, Tin, and Redstone. To convert it to Pure Fission Powder, you need to run it through a Fission Purifier 4 times. "What is a--" Don't even finish that sentence. I know what you want to ask.​

​

A Fission Purifier is another extremely expensive item added by this mod. It requires one Purified Water Tungstensteel Bucket in the middle, one Industrial Centrifuge in the top, one Advanced Machines Extractor on the bottom, 4 Highly Reinforced Stone in the corners, One Highly Advanced Circuit in the left middle, and one Highly Advanced Machine Block in the right middle. How do you make Purified Water, you say? Run a Water Cell through the Industrial Centrifuge with one Tungstensteel bucket (Same recipe as bucket, just replace iron with tungstensteel) in the container slot. You get one empty cell and one Tungstensteel Bucket of Water. 36,000 time units, or 1800 seconds, or 30 minutes and 180,000 EU.​

​

"What about power?" 50,000 EU per cycle, 30 minutes per cycle. Begins Very Impure, after first cycle it is Somewhat Impure, second cycle gives Slightly Impure, third cycle gives Somewhat Pure, and final cycle gives Very Pure Fission Powder.​

​

"What do I do with--" Stop asking so many questions! This Very Pure Fission Powder is only suitable as an explosive. By the way, this is another use for the Highly Reinforced Stone Blocks, as a protector against these blasts. I will tell you about the explosive later. You need to make this powder suitable for power generation. For that, you need a Fission Enrichment Chamber. Yes, it is a multiblock structure. You need Advanced Machine Casings for this.​

​

The Fission Enrichment Chamber is crafted like so: Fusion Reactor on the top middle, Industrial Electrolyzer on the bottom middle, 4 Highly Reinforced Stone Blocks in the corners, one Highly Advanced Machine Block in the middle, and 2 Highly Advanced Circuits in the left and right middle. With 26 Highly Advanced Machine Casings, create a structure just like a Coke Oven, 3*3*3 with a block missing in the middle. Place the F.E.C on the top of the structure, in the middle.​

​

The F.E.C. GUI is structured like a Furnace. Put 16 electrolyzed water Cells in the bottom, your Very Pure Fission Powder in the top, supply it with 100,000 EU, and wait one hour. The 100,000 EU can be provided during the entire one hour cycle, as with the rest of the machines. If 100,000 EU is not provided within the time limit, the work is wasted. You keep the powder, lose the water cells. The cycle comes out with Enriched Fission Powder.​

​

"How do you make power with this?" you ask. Got that covered also. You need a Fission Generator. Yes, another extremely expensive machine. The Fission Generator requires one Implosion Compressor in the middle, one Geothermal Generator in the top middle, one regular generator in the bottom middle, 4 Highly Reinforced Stone Blocks in the corners, one Highly Advanced Electronic Circuit in the left middle, and one Highly Advanced Machine Block in the right middle. Now that you have you generator, you need something to hold this Fission Voltage. I'm sure you all remember the Superconductor Wires from Gregtech, right?​

​

"Whizz, my machines won't hold--" I know, I know. Next, you need an FV-Transformer, which transforms Fission Voltage (32768 EU/t) into Ultimate Voltage (8192 EU/t). This is crafted with One Ultimate Voltage Transformer in the middle, two Superconductor Wires in the left and right middle, and two LESUs in the top and bottom middle.​

​

"How do you make the UV--" Got that covered too. The UV-Transformer, which transforms UV into HV, is crafted like so: HV-Transformer in the middle, Superconductor in the left middle, HV-Cable in the right middle, and two AESUs in the top and bottom middle.​

​

There you have it! Everything you need to-- "Wait! You forgot to tell us how long the Fission Powder lasts!" Oh yeah! The one thing I forgot! What would I do without you? After it's entire cycle is done (50 seconds) it will have produced 32768000 EU. You would need at least 4 MFSUs to capture all this electricity in 50 seconds. If you don't have the resources after this costly experience for 4 MFSUs, the Fission Generator does have an internal buffer that holds all this electricity. It only holds it for 30 minutes, though, so you have to empty it fast.​

​

How do you guys like this idea for an addon? I have absolutely no programming skills, remember, so if anyone wants to take up the project, feel free! Just make sure Greg and AtomicStryker approve of it. Thanks for considering,​

Whizz​

How do you guys like this idea for an addon?

Why wouldn't you just make a fusion reactor, to obtain the same EU/t for as long as you can supply it with hydrogen two and hydrogen three (easiest way to keep it going, just requires water and some industrial electrolysis machinery)?

Also, you should be posting this suggestion over on the IC2 forums, mate.

Gregtech and IC2 in general is, for the most part, based on stuff relatable to the real world. I'm sorry but what you're saying makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Fission means splitting, ie nuclear fission of uranium, which is already in IC2, so if you just jumped in with something made up from a word you don't understand you'd just make a fool of yourself. In fact just the words "Fission Voltage" is pretty cringeworthy.

Greg himself seems very keen on keeping all his content nice and consistent with science, so if you want your idea to fit in with his stuff then just make sure it has some logic behind it

 

[whizzball1]

I know exactly what it means. In fact, I came straight from the term. The fission of redstone, iron, and dust to make the ultimate power source.

 

[Lambert2191]

I totally made a thread for shit like this... thanks for ignoring it http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/mod-item-stuff-ideas.14163
Damn Christians, always hurting the feelings :'( (another joke)

 

[whizzball1]

Well how was I supposed to know you had that?

That's not what Fission is. You can't just take random elements and expect Fission. If you wanted to split an atom of Iron or Tin, you would actually lose energy, not gain it.

Even if you fused iron and tin (which could be physically impossible) which would (in theory) be energy efficient, you would just waste all that energy to split it again for fission. The rough point where it becomes more energy efficient to split an atom is when your atom has an atomic number of 82, or Lead. But even if you just went over, it still wouldn't be efficient. That's why Uranium is used. U235 is generally quite stable, but add a neutron (which isn't hard) and you make U236, which is unstable, it splits and releases more neutrons which keeps the reaction going, this is also the principle behind IC2 Nuclear reactors. You would not get the same effect from Iron or Tin (or even when both Nuclei are combined into Osmium).

On the other side of the scale, nuclear fusion, combining 2 atoms to make a new element. Again, it is actually better to combine Deuterium (Hydrogen-2) and Tritium (Hydrogen-3) to make Helium, which is how the GT nuclear fission reactor works best (I think, I haven't looking too much into it). It also gives off much MUCH more energy than a nuclear fission reactor would and would even be self sustaining (in theory, the research is still being done) and it is the most (or almost) energetic nuclear reaction there is.

Overall, it makes no physical sense.

I will say, I'm sorry if the above paragraphs don't flow nicely or whatever, it's 1 AM here and I'm very tired

 

[whizzball1]

It is MC. You can't expect everything to make sense. But I guess this whole thing was silly. Anyway, I have no idea how to program, so this idea would never even work out.

 

[Endgamer013]

Well, IndustrialCraft probably started as a silly idea that no one accepted, but look where it is right now. I'm not taking any sides, but these silly ideas we all have are what drives modding and life in general.

 

[Guswut]

But I guess this whole thing was silly.

You should make a fusion reactor. It's a cheaper (cost/EU produced) way to make power than what you've suggested.

Or set up a massive array of thermal generators with magma crucibles, or wood cutting turtles and sawmills and generators. Loads of easy power that way.

 

[jumpfight5]

Well you could just set up a massive array of solar panels, loads of "easy" power that way too But the idea is there, needs to be refined, but it's good.
