Recipe Costs

[jumpfight5]

Oh, that's fine, no rush, if you can't do it, I'll just do the math. It's not a big deal and I will not have the materials for something like that for a long time.

Also, do you have vanilla items working in it? Not like anything in it is very hard to craft, also, is this an in-game mod like the Gregtech ComputerCube, some type of add on to NEI, or an online thing like the Nuclear Reactor Planner?

 

[MrCervelo]

Long Term, I'd like to make it a mod so that it can be used in-game, but even if I get that far, I'd still like to make it an online thing. The reason why, is that if it's outside of the game, then you can use it to make a shopping list of items to see their cost, this would be useful so you can see the cost of building up a HP Steam Boiler of a certain size that is powered by biofuel. My current goal is to get it online, that is still a bit away as I need to get an offline version working with all of the mods, and then get it working as an applet. (Yeah, I'm writing it in Java).

 

[jumpfight5]

Well there is one person (Omicron, I think) who has a chart in progress on steam boiler fuel cost and efficiency and stuff, maybe you guys could work together or something?
Online would probably be the best solution. I can see myself being too lazy to create an item, no matter how cheap, when I could just pop open a tab. Maybe the in-game version could have some added....benefits?

The online version says you need x buckets of biofuel to fuel a 36 HP boiler. The in-game version says you need x.x buttons of biofuel, used over y minutes, and how much steam, BC energy, and IC energy you can get with each bucket of biofuel through the boiler.

Well, it's not cheap

I think that the easiest thing in that list is the diamonds...

 

[Abdiel]

Really? Aside from diamonds and ghast tears (which are just an ass to harvest), everything else is either easily farmable or cheap (stack of iron cmon).

Can I get the cost of a Manager? (yes I know it's not such a complex build, but you have the program and I'm lazy )

 

[jumpfight5]

Hahah, I have the ghast tears, thanks for this! 1 stack of diamonds down, two stacks to go! ....wow, I don't have nearly enough obsidian either!

 

[Abdiel]

Aqueous Accumulator + Igneous Extruder + some kind of a lava pump will get you that in a matter of minutes.

 

[jumpfight5]

Yeah, I'll just set up a magma crucible or something, but surprisingly, all these items are renewable except iron and glow stone. Bees and Ic2 crops don't count

Hmm, what materials are not infinite? That includes UU, extra bees, and crops...the egg? That might be all o.o

 

[Abdiel]

Plentiful as they are, I do not think there is any closed loop method to create netherrack, soul sand, or end stone (and consequently their products, such as netherbrick). Nikolite is also limited, unless there is a bee I don't know about.

 

[jumpfight5]

No soul sand? Wow, there should be a recipe for that...sand and ghast tears, possibly? Or remove souls from a soul shard and smelt it with sand in a soul forge...no reversal process, that'd be cheap.

 

[MilConDoin]

Giving 4/8/16/32/64 souldsand depending on the tier of the soul shard? man, that would be expensive, even if you get the empty sould shard back.

 

[jumpfight5]

I was thinking 1 soul per sand, so 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024. Even if it is expensive, soul sand is now renewable!

 

[MilConDoin]

how do you want to handle giving more than one stack out, since there is only one input slot?

 

[Abdiel]

Spit it out everywhere in a massive brown explosion.

 

[MilConDoin]

Gratulation, your soul furnace just heard a brown note.^^

 

[jumpfight5]

Well...you know, when there's 1 stack of ores in a Macerator, and you end up with 2 stacks of dust, the maceration just stops when there's only one stack.

But I feel bad for hijacking Mr.Cevelo's thread, I'll make a new one

You do know that zombies (and iron golems if you make villages to spawn them) drop iron and witches drop glowstone and you can trade with villagers for it, too, so they are renewable in vanilla already?

There's another thread on the non-renewable stuff: http://forum.feed-the-beast.com/threads/non-renewable-items.11484/

I somehow ignore the names of people that have the default avatar. I can't be the only one with this, can I?

*gasp*

I've been much too lazy to change my avatar...I have a picture too, I'm just too lazy!! D:
And I have no time right now, the 3 minute operation has no time, even though this post has taken me 3 minutes...
