The release of RedPower 2 after each Minecraft update is always highly anticipated and never ceases to amaze us, with new, useful features we didn't know we needed before. Update 21/12/12: PR6 has been released for MC1.4.6. A 1.4.5 version may be released if mods fail to be updated for 1.4.6. Here are some things that are confirmed: The Sortron (computer-controlled sorting machine) - NEW Machine MineOS XP 1.2 - NOT a replacement for old OS (requires additional RAM - main use is for Sortrons) Blulectric Engine (BC power - capable of up to 32mj/t automatically adjusting depending on requirements) - NEW Machine (hints at API, since it is partly a separate mod) Kinetic Engine/Generator (can install WindMills Vertical/Horizontal to generate kinetic energy for blulectric power) - Bluletric Generator Charging Bench (hints at new tools) Project Table now includes a way to encode crafting recipes to 'plans' and when placed in project table will create ghost items for crafting. Canvas Bags (portable chest item). Seed Bags (picks up seeds like Forestry bags) that can plant a 5x5 area at once. Manager - Regulator cross Sorting Machine cross retriever/filter. (can auto-extract items from inventory with no laggy timers) Sickle(s) now work on leaves! High/Medium Voltage Bluletric Cables and Transformers Frubes - Tubes in Frames! Hollow Covers work on Frames Inverted Lamps - (input for lamps is reverse for these new lamps) New Lamps - Cage Lamp, Fixture Lamp (Normal/Inverted) New Sorting Machine Modes (able to pull more than one item at a time if used directly connected to a chest, automatic pulsing, etc) Forge Liquid API Liquids can travel through liquid tubes Basalt Pavers/Chiselled Basalt Crafting recipe to unbrick marble/basalt Emeralds renamed to Green Sapphires Frames now faster Bug fix - Backplane on Frames checks for cover/panel on opposite (wrong) side to be placeable. Bug fix - Regulators now work with more than one stack of same item. Here are some things that are already planned and (highly) likely, but not confirmed for this update (but will come eventually): Hybrid Cable - Both jacketed and non-jacketed versions of a cable that combines both blue alloy and red alloy wire in the same cable/block Blulectric Transformers (for IC2/etc. power) API Implementation of Plastics/Silicon Chips for RP2 Computers (use for Tungsten?) Block breaker Nerf - More expensive to build (requiring Tungsten) or possibly require power CNC (Automatic Crafting Machine) Here are some other features which are planned but unlikely for this update (from memory): Tesla Mob (small, passive, creeper-like creature) Tesla Cannon Volcanic Wasteland Biome Freakin' Laser Beams & Co. Here are some features which will NEVER be implemented (tongue-in-cheek): A use for Tungsten Feel free to post speculation and juicy rumours!
I've heard wayyy too much of rumors and what-not from different ircs but i'm not feeling like typing today.
Personally, I think that the best way to get true info, is to ask them to the author yourself, or to "ask" the code itself, that did work like 10 times for league of legends, I knew character's name and few ability cause there were pre-updates hidden in files!
Chae, there is 2 things you should know about the mc modding community. 1. Never ask the mod devs either about new versions of mods because you will get a bad response. 2. MC mod devs nearly never "hide" anything new in the code, so it would be a fruitless effort.
Shadow, you'll probably laugh at me but, I AM an MC dev (made mod for servers, so you won't find them on the minecraft forums, and then it is a french server, I don't think you can find them, anyway I always let pending things for the creative mod, even if that does not work, and I tell everyone what's new on the server when they ask )
Let us know when you do! Sadly, this doesn't hold true for Eloraam (and other tech-mod authors). 90% of the reason I created this was to hear rumours from others (*hints at Shadow*). I am looking forward to the release!
Lately, I've been laid back as far as being on the scene goes so I'm solely relying on this thread for information like this
hmm... computer+frame+T2blulectric thingy+blockbreakers+other stuff=mobile quarry. is this a bit OP? oh and retreiver to use the bluelectric to sort stuff between cobble and stuff cobble goes into a diamond chest... or burnt ores go into a log pipe system and get smelted idk about sand/gravel, but sand prob smelt and gravel cumped with cobble. this hopefully wouldnt count as a BC quarry... ok, but something I would LIKE (not a bit of proof at all but would be nice to have) would be a sort of 'crucible' that will burn up stuff and make either IC2 energy (so it would be from IC2) or bluetricity. then the cobble will DIE.
Here goes my attempt at deciphering. This already exists. It's called a Frame Quarry. You can already do this, and it isn't OP. It's useful, balanced and fits in with the Tech-mod theme. Logistics Pipes is a whole different mod, and besides, you can already sort with RP2 and do this. So off-topic I'm not even going to go there. This seems highly unlikely for RedPower 2, and I believe a system like this has already been invented (Thaumcraft 2). I will however commend you, as this is moderately on-topic. Overall, I award you the title of "The Off-topic King of the Month"
Thank you red...I am laughing so hard right now at "cumped with cobble" and "then the cobble will DIE". It reminded me of something. I'm sorry, I just had to do this: I'm going to kill myself from laughte
OT-Bugs will be fixed :O OT-Fun fact: When I looked at the name of this thread, I thought it said RedPower 2 PR5c Humours/Ripe
I've updated it a bit, after catching up on a bit of Direwolf20 that I missed while on holiday. Still need to get up-to-date though.
If you really wana keep this up-to-date, watch other's streams (like Soaryn). I popped in for a few minutes and dw was recording episode 10.
