crazed_psyco Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 iv'e just been thinking and i have came up with a decent idea! plastic! how to craft: oil bucket into a furnace, makes 16. what it is used for: insulating wires and making pipes waterproof. replys are greatly appreciated, thanks.
Leestons Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 I think it would be too expensive, just stick to rubber. Rubber - Find Rubber Tree > make rubber tap using a small amount of wood > harvest rubber > cook > Insulate wires. Plastic - Find oil deposit > make pump, waterproof pipes, power supply, tanks, buckets > collect oil and pump into tanks > transfer from tanks into buckets > cook > insulate wires. Now, which one would you rather do? Something quick that requires 5 wooden planks, or something that requires plenty of materials and time.
miniboxer Posted September 29, 2012 Posted September 29, 2012 did you even consider the fact that you should only do this late game? and it would be super efficient, and very useful.
Michael101 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Even when plasticraft was in technic I never bothered with any of the plastic stuff.
Lethosos Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Ever stop and think what the main ingredient is in construction foam?
Leestons Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Ever stop and think what the main ingredient is in construction foam? Clay dust, coal dust, redstone and water, how is oil, or any of this suggestion related to CF?
Lethosos Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Clay dust, coal dust, redstone and water, how is oil, or any of this suggestion related to CF? ...I see you missed the point of polystyrene in actual construction foam.
Leestons Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 ...I see you missed the point of polystyrene in actual construction foam. I apologise, I wasn't aware you were talking about actual construction foam, instead I thought you were talking about it in Minecraft.
Lothos Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I apologise, I wasn't aware you were talking about actual construction foam, instead I thought you were talking about it in Minecraft. but, construction foam IS in minecraft seriously, its not needed for the 2 points of use you listed. And frankly, neither purpose makes sense to me. You insulate wire with rubber not plastic, especially HV and EV. And you use something malleable to waterproof piping, hence the cactus greens to waterproof putty not plastic. what would be neat is maybe synthetic rope and rigging stuff that you could then use for like zip lines etc...
Pulse95 Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Wow! Shoving a bucket of oil in a furnace makes plastic? I guess you can make a Lego-on-the-floor security system, every time you step on a Lego you take one heart of damage.
The Merchant of Menace Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Actually, plastic would be pretty sweet, and a nice use for all the fuckloads of oil you never use. Plastic can be used to insulate wires, and would be perfectly adequte for pipe waterproofing. You could also use it as a glass substitute, and there's probably a bunch of other applications you could use plastic for.
The_DarthMoogle Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I remember PlasticCraft being in Technic. That was pretty darn cool. Plexiglass boats, NVGs, Kevlar... Some cool stuff right there.
cmwatford Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Anyone remember why plasticraft was removed? Didn't use it much but it was pretty cool.
The Merchant of Menace Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 T'was never updated for 1.2.5
cmwatford Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 T'was never updated for 1.2.5 Thanks. I wonder why though.
racingpro Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 My guess is he lost interest in updating it (or something along those lines), and (from what I've heard) he didn't allow anyone to continue updating it, so it died at 1.1
The Merchant of Menace Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 TehKrush isn't the sort of guy who would disallow people from updating his mods :P
racingpro Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 Actually, in this case, he did. Go to cell 235 to see for yourself.
crazed_psyco Posted November 12, 2012 Author Posted November 12, 2012 ok then it could be used for much more stuff like, plastic blocks or a plastic chair
