Your Pack Version

2.2.0.0

Your Proposal

Add Germanium semiconductors to the game because germainium is actually better than silicon

Your Goal

To create a new alternative to the average silicon line, and it would make alot of room for new machinery for advanced germanium semiconductors manufactoring, along with that, making germanium chips will be much more resource efficient(ie more chips) than silicon, this will make germanium a path of progression that is worth it

Your Vision

It will add some more realism, because germanium is already being used a a material in high speed circuits in real life, and recently, Silcon-Germanium is recplacing Gallium Arsenide in wireless communication devices. It will also add new opportunities for the devs to make new multiblocks of advanced chip manufacturing, adding diversity to the multiblocks

germainium is actually better than silicon

Yeah in like two metrics. For the most part silicon is more feasible

Silcon-Germanium is recplacing Gallium Arsenide in wireless communication devices

Only in very specific applications, this is far from widespread

Either way we have no good source of germanium in this pack so it'd be hard enough to implement

[Dream-Master]

We can check how germanium will be processed. And we have a lot of useless ore mixes so we can exchange some stuff. I dont mean add germanium as material more like a material that have germanium.

[PowahGTNH]

GT++ already add Germanium in 2.2.0.0 but it is currently useless

[PowahGTNH]

Germanium can be obtained by processing sphalerite(zinc), and it is commercially produced in real life by recovering from silver, lead, and copper ores

[PowahGTNH]

i had a plan to add a new Germanium processing line (based on real life and Wikipedia research), and it might be coming soon, i just need some recorrrections

[Impos913]

Germanium processing is supposedly easier than silicon processing so idk what can you really make "germanium processing line"

[PowahGTNH]

make it IV, since its the time when you need alot more circuits
