mass fabricator: increase base energy cost to 10M EU

This is done by Player not Greg before everyone says this is what happens when Greg Helps. Also you will find once the new IC is out and released as a none experimental it will ADD tons of new things like plates and such. This is also done by Player in fact before even Greg was on the team. So don't go blaming poor Greg

it`s possible that idea came from Greg...

i wonder if there is going to be any fixes new features to power generation?

The power Generation being rewritten from the ground up as far as I know. Sort back to where it was like in 1.0 of IC. So I don't think were going through the insane packet spam anymore. But not 100% on this.

I think it's good for the mod, think of how powerful UUM is.

On the server Godcraft Frontiers I got to the point where I could start producing solars pretty much from UUM. That's a bit too powerful.

Question is is this 10M energy with or without amplifier?

rewritten in what way?

 

[Malexion]

Hopefully in a method, more intelligent and tested than universal cables.

Without. Since the 10M is the "base energy cost"

Looking at it, this is misleading. It's upping the cost by 10x, period. This includes with scrap.

As if I needed another reason to abandon IC2.

 

[PeggleFrank]

IC2 is inactive. I don't exactly care what happens to it, it just matters to me that something is happening to it, good or bad.

It doesn't seem like IC2 is inactive anymore... but I do agree, even "bad" changes are better than stagnating into obsolescence.

How is this misleading? It says "base energy cost" which implies without scrap, and it can be assumed that scrap will reduce the new base energy cost by the same factor as before.
nvm, I guess I can see why you would think that.

What do people use uu-matter for besides iridium?

Resources. Resources generated from power = better than an MFR laser drill in some cases.

As I mentioned I used to make solars from UUM. More exactly increasing my supply of copper so that it would enable me to make some extra solars and speed up the process.

For the unaware, IC2 has been in a sort-of feature freeze for this long because the original author went missing a long time ago without leaving any permission to do more than maintain what's already there.

Looks like either the team managed to contact Alblaka and get permission to add new features, or finally decided to say "screw it we're going ahead with this". Either way, it seems like there's a big bunch of features in the pipeline all of a sudden. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

I wonder what he'll do with reactors. This might be interesting.

Create copper and tin for nuclear reactors.

 

[cynric]

It will be interesting to see how this will end up compared to power output, assuming there are changes coming to that. Otherwise a change like this could be pretty crippling to SSP, where you don't have 24/7 operation and thus already way lower output.

i have no problem at all with this change but i hope we will see some new or advanced eu generation possibilities in the future

RAITE Gen does not sound very promising. Only hope is impl. fusion reactos :S
