Is there a way to make...

[Furious1964]

I wanted to have a retractable bridge that would last as long as I needed to cross it. I remember an item from another mod (can't remember it's name) way back in the day that would place blocks according to how you wanted them. When it was turned off, the structure would be put back into storage.[DOUBLEPOST=1372009938][/DOUBLEPOST]

I'm surprised noone mentioned turtles

Don't know anything about Turtles and looks too complicated for me.

I'm surprised no one mentioned frame motors.

Basically, you can program the thing to move massive amounts of blocks, all in a uniform direction. You can use this concept to make a retractible bride, or an elevator. Very useful for this kind of thing.

You could use arcane levitators

I'm surprised no one mentioned frame motors..

Almost every other post mentioned frames.

Elevator? Now I'm interested. My base in SSP is a drained Volcano. Want to build my house on top of it and have all the rooms I need do to stuff inside the Volcano.[DOUBLEPOST=1372010780][/DOUBLEPOST]

actually I did thought the motors were implied

Is there any way to power those batteries with IC2/BC/Factorization Power?

 

[fergcraft]

unfortunatly no you have to go with redpower energy but its realively cheap to make solars and blue electric wires or you could go with thermopiles.

Lol, that'd actually be pretty cool.

Which wires do I need?

Blue alloy

Blue alloy

Have those, but not taking power from the fully charged batteries.

Did you put them in the right slot of the batbox? It should be the bottom one.

 

[Furious1964]

Have a battery box connected with blue alloy wire to a frame motor and it's not lit up to indicate it's powered.

I'm surprised no one mentioned nukes. make a bridge out of nukes, walk over it, light it up and it'll even take care of the mobs in the quicksand.

the blue electric box or a basic IC2 batbox

Nope, neither work.

did you apply a redstone signal

 

[Furious1964]

Button or lever on the motor itself and still nothing.

Are you sure it's facing the right way?
