Viktor_Berg Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Nope. Pulverising provides higher tier byproducts for common ores (iron - ferrous, copper - gold). Rare ore produce each other: silver - lead. Ferrous produce shiny metal. The only ore producing nothing else if pulverised is gold, but sacrificing other ores for that (mind copper - gold pulverising) isn't worth it. And it makes distribution system more complex. Both the pulverizer and the induction smelter have a low chance of producing secondary output, ranging between 5-10%. In the case of the pulverizer, you only get the secondary that is relevant to the input (such as lead byproduct for silver). This is fine and all, but in the case of the induction smelter, you actually get the secondary that can be used on ANY other ore. Instead of pulverizing gold ore and getting 10% copper, you can induction smelt gold ore, get 10% rich slag, and then use that rich slag on other gold ore to get 10% more gold instead of copper. tl;dr it's more flexible. The only exception is pulverizing ferrous ore, since I don't think there are any other ways to get shiny dust/ingots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwwojcik Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I just stick with the pulverizer. Its the only way to get platinum in the overworld, and its so..... shiny..... =o The induction smelter is really only useful to me for hardened glass and making electrum and invar more easily.

Neowulf Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 The induction will smelt 2 dust and 1 sand into 2 ingots and a chance of normal slag for a fraction of the power required to smelt a single dust into a single ingot in the normal powered furnace.

whiteknightz28 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have been running ic2 on my server for several months now. I have a actually almost entirely recreated the original tekkit pack with a few modifications. No redpower yet. EE3. TreeCapitator, and Dimensional Doors. Message me if you want the modpack and/or my server IP. The server has only one plugin, creeperheal. If more ppl want to join, I may add towny or something to regulate it. If anyone knows about a dev version of redpower, let me know. 1.5.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teraku Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah, RP2 was basically a good staple mod, but it's outclassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethosos Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 RedLogic, RedstoneInMotion(WIP), Immiblis's Microblocks... yeah, those are the mods you're looking for. No word on the "itemduct" that Lemming mentioned a month back yet, though, but that's not a problem IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are also much faster, which works nicely in an ME Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al3xthegre4t Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 RedLogic, RedstoneInMotion(WIP), Immiblis's Microblocks... yeah, those are the mods you're looking for. yes these are a great replacement for redpower and the majority of the mods are now updated to 1.6.2 so no downgrading and loss of horses.

Vivacity Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Is there a Jenkins or equivalent for Thermal Expansion? Or Build craft. I wanna get my hands on some experimental 1.6 builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melfice Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I don't fully understand how it works, but basically it's an online repository where developers can upload software. Any version is uploaded there including, for a lack of a better explanation, "alpha" and "beta" builds (the experimentals Vivacity mentioned) of the next version of the software.

dwwojcik Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Like build.technicpack.com Any. I see you can still download the original launcher from there. Maybe if somebody wants to play some retro technic pack (the actual pack) they could dl that? Also it's .net not .com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFGames Cj Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Hey dude if you want ic2 goto ic2.api.player.to:8080/job/ic2_If/ it's the Jenkins website for all ic2 builds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFGames Cj Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 First off, Forestry is not in Tekkit by any stretch of imagination. And also, what Sengir did was retarded, not "awesome". Second, IC2 was a very fine pioneer mod. It was the first mod I ever played with, back in like 2009 or 2010, I forget. Yeah, I've played it since early beta versions of IC1. And yet - yet it was outgrown. It paved the way for the modding community, but is now lagging behind, both feature-wise and release-wise. Alblaka hasn't released an official update in over half a year. Most of the mod's features have been replaced and/or outclassed by other mods. The mod's power system is clunky and unwieldy. The items and tools are fine but, again, outclassed by other mods nowadays. The only part really unique to IC2 right now is nuclear power. And yet there is a Big Reactors mod in the works, planning on adding multiblock generators of all kinds, including fission and fusion. KingLemming, the author of Thermal Expansion, is working on a BALANCED version of solar power, as well as machine upgrades. IC2 farming wasn't very useful at all, and unlike Forestry's bee breeding, you couldn't industrialize it to the point where it would be a viable method of getting any reasonable number of resources. And pardon me, but Quantum Suits were incredibly unbalanced. Pretty easy to get, and provide complete invulnerability to the user as long as the chestplate is equipped. Let it go.[/quoteIx dude ic2 is still alive and kicking if its still getting Jenkins builds then its still ok Richardg is posting open betas for 1.5 and on Jenkins it's already on 1.6.2 so how should I say this *cough cough... Ic2 hater ... cough cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieChop Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 lol. tbh everywhere i read its the same thing. IC2 is being kept alive by people trying to keep it up to date. thats the same as beating a dead horse to me. besides, even if it comes back its going to have a hard time since most of, if not everything, that it had has been replaced by newer constantly updated mods. i dont want to wait 6 months for a mod to semi update.

TokiWartooth Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 By all means if you want IC2 get it, use it, make sweet seductive love too it, I DON'T CARE, but please for the love of god stop bringing it up here, it is a dead mod, it is no more, it is pushing up daises, it is an ex mod, it will not be coming back to tekkit, if you don't like it add it yourself, thats always been an option, but the bitching about it just has to stop. Also that's a sweet double post into failing to escape your own quote so it appears as though the person you are quoting said the things you ment to say makes you sounds oh so much more intelligent.

zordan777 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 even if i fully understand that it's pretty useless by now, can i still manually add IC2 to the standard tekkit mods folder without causing major conflicts? before discovering tekkit i've made a base full of materials with 2 fully working reactors (1.5.1)...don't wanna lose all those pretty shiny things...after that i'll move everything i mined in a new base in some freshly spawned chunks with new ores etc. etc. and will try all the new features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieChop Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 well, if no one answers you can always backup your saves, and try yourself xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zordan777 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 i already tried when i wrote the post, but since i still don't know "WELL" all the tekkit mods, i wouldn't be able to recognize conflicts or, worse, it would be possible that i experience problems later on, ruining everything i made combining ic with the new things. anyway i'm pretty sure that after 1-2 hours of wikiing around i'd leave ic2 into the past (with a tear D': D':) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
