Haxotic Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Hello, soon I am starting a new building and I am wondering which blocks are most resistant to things such as TNT, creepers, rocket crashes, nuclear meltdowns, etc.. I was thinking of using my abundance of obsidian but I remember it being nerfed to be replaced with IC2 reinforced material. Now that IC2 is gone, is there a new better material?

jakalth Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Obsidian. simple as that. Nothing else can compare to its blast resistance. There might be one or two things that can resist a blast, somewhat, but nothing like obsidian to protect vital locations. The nerf to obsidian was an IC2 override. Without IC2 in the pack, obsidian retains its vanilla resistance to explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TokiWartooth Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My newest wolrd is going to have an office building that is 61x61 bocks and too the sky limit or near too it, with an obsidian sheath that is raised using tinkers construct drawbdriges.

Curunir Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 To make things a little more decorative, you can opt to use Obsidian Glass as well. It is not entirely blast-proof, but will withstand some damage. And, being glass, it is transparent. For blast-resistent storage, use TE Strongboxes. Iirc, even the basic ones are more or less indestructible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturlie Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 You could also use the obsidian chests from Iron Chests for blastproof storage. Though I don't know how economincal that is compared to TE Strongboxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montego_Cardoso Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Obsidian Brick also seems to have a high blast resistance, but it can still be mined like stone bricks. Good if you make a few mistakes in manual placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturlie Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I don't knwo for certain or a lot about it, but I think there are some galacticcraft blocks which can be crafted using obsidian which have some blast resistance to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemiPr0 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Basalt from Project Red is a very blast resistant material. Its my favorite anti-creeper buidling material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatHunter Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 the most resistant block I know of is a force-field block from mffs you could build your home out of any material, make a blueprint and use the camo-module... but this would be a bit energy-inefficient I guess ^^ (could also be a problem if mffs cannot display the blocks correctly, e.g. doubled half-stones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
