Alchemical Urn #932

Open jkenyonc opened 9 years ago

jkenyonc commented 9 years ago

There is currently no automated emc storage, but seeing as the aludel is already automatable you should add an alchemical urn which can store ash, minium/ verdant dust etc. As well as possibly oredictionary dust. It could be piped into with itemducts, or an "alchemical funnel". If placed next to a transmutation tablet, the dusts' emc should be usable in the tablet, but extracting from the tablet would still have to be manual.

Another idea: the unnel could dispense duat into the WIP conveyor

pahimar commented 9 years ago

What conveyor?

jkenyonc commented 9 years ago

Oops.

AartBluestoke commented 9 years ago

Counterpoint for balance; emc in the tablet should decay, part of the current op-ness is that you just load the tablet with a few stacks of emc from you favourite high energy source, then you can forget about ever collecting moderate emc cost items ever again. Eg direwolf20 latest video where pulling 4 stacks of netherstars out of the tablet isn't something to be concerned about.

It's the freedom to turn A into B in unlimited quantities, with no consequences, that breaks things.

Perhaps a sliding efficiency scale according to his much emc has passed through the tablet. Up to the cost of 1 diamond per second is free, past that it costs emc (xlog(x+y)) where y is the energy recently transmuted, which decays per tick y=0.98.

That might make people think twice before paving their floor with transmuted nether star blocks, but won't stop people covering resource shortfalls, or spoil endgame resource availability, it just imposes some inefficiency in the system.

@AartBluestoke Perfectionists will hate you so much for this idea =P

pahimar commented 9 years ago

I'm debating this still, but I'm kind of liking it so far

PrincessRTFM commented 8 years ago

I know that I (and probably a lot of others) would be happiest if that could be disabled in the config somewhere...

As for the alchemical urn idea, I really like that. I was just poking around in the API, because I had a similar(ish) idea of making an item that could be charged with RF to increase its EMC value, for use in a table.

border999 commented 8 years ago

The idea of a device that increased in EMC value based on the amount of RF it has stored inside it would be an interesting feature. Could be interesting to have an RF to EMC converter and vice-versa. Imagine being able to turn a stack of octuple compressed cobblestone into enough RF to fill a top-tier battery from Draconic Evolution. This would make the balancing method typed a few posts above quite a bit more bearable for people that use tech mods.
