Can I download IndustrialCraft and get it working with another mod at thee same time? I want to defend my factory with guns and shit against the toughest mo******ckers possible.

Yeah. You can include IndustrialCraft's config into your .minecraft folder and use it to edit Item and Block IDs. I recommend AutoID, though it doesn't work on item IDs.
Also, 1.4_01 is out, removing the Steve co. chests.

EDIT: Ninja'd

K, got it up and running. What's a good seed for finding tin and copper?

[ein]

They're all good.
Tin and copper are ridiculously common.
I find more of them than coal.
I say grab a good one for iron and roll with it.

[GamerKnight]

I can't find any copper or tin. I found one block of uranium, but thats it.

[ein]

Dig deeper mayhaps?
I'm drowning in it.
Was, I suppose.
Haven't actually played since new version...

I managed to build a really space-efficient Solar Array.

Apparently, the latest update doesn't allow switch cables and MFE transmitters to both receive power from the top and release it thru the bottom, so I based the whole design in only using the 4 sides for inputs. I'm uploading a video right now, but here are some screenshots of what it looks like (this is an array of four "sections", a section has 16 solar panels and can be tiled indefinitely, I guess)

I'll post a link to the buildage video when it's finished uploading 


UPDATE: And here it is:

I even added a little free background tune. Very modern!

UPDOOOT! Mostly just a fix to the bed spawner thing I think.

So I just started playing around with mods this weekend. I don't have WinRAR or 7z installed but I happened to know that you can just rename minecraft.jar to minecraft.jar.zip. So you cnan use the Windows GUI to delete the META-INF folder and copy all the mod's data into the right place. I wrote toggle.cmd which lets me toggle the minecraft.jar with a single click. I figured I'd post it here for anyone who wants to try it out:

Spoiler: "toggle.cmd" (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

@echo off

if exist minecraft.jar goto there

rename minecraft.jar.zip minecraft.jar
goto exit


:there
rename minecraft.jar minecraft.jar.zip

:exit
REM pause

I created a folder in ".minecraft" called "mods" and another folder in there called "beta 1.4" with the mod zip files. I've got the IndustrialCraft mod along with a couple of mods from the mod loader guy: ModLoader, Floodgate and LightSensor. I also tried to get the Pistons mod but it kept black screening and the  Floodgate mod looked more promising so I just skipped it.

IndustrialCraft really does add a whole new level to the game. Energy use in Minecraft was using sticks, planks and coal in furnaces and this mod seems to be about making and using energy sources. I'm really excited with all the possibilities!

I think the EC Manipulator is almost required to really understand what is going on but its advertised components carry an insane price which includes redstone, glowstone and lapus lazuli! I stumbled a really really cheap version of the EC Manipulator:

While I think the mod is good on the whole, I wanted to offer a suggestion that I think would make it even better: the entire nuclear industry isn't even remotely believable. I understand that realism isn't going happen in Minecraft or its mods but I think even kids are expecting you to use nuclear fuel in a nuclear reactor which will give you power. The recent accident in Japan has also served to futher educate the masses (myself included) on how nuclear power works. I'll skip the technical details and just make a suggestion: use uran ore in the Maceratron to get uran powder, use the powder in the compressor to get a fuel rod, and finally put fuel rods in the Chernobyl Two Nuclear Reactor (tm). I'd like to see the rods last forever. I also feel like I have to say that uran shouldn't be that color.

Ugh, modloader has been updated for 1.4_01 and I can't find the "old" ModLoader Beta 1.4v2 that was for Beta 1.4.

Anyone have a copy for that? I'm not sure the newer one will work without updating.

EDIT: Never mind, apparently all mods that worked should work with 1.4_01, especially if they use ModLoader I guess, I just need to re-un-vanilla my jar.

EDIT2: Apparently not...

Can I download IndustrialCraft and get it working with another mod at thee same time? I want to defend my factory with guns and shit against the toughest mo******ckers possible.

Note that IndustrialCraft doesn't work with the SDK Guns mod.  Both add too much stuff, and some limit or other gets overflowed.  So try to find a smaller gun mod, or see if there is a cut-down version of SDK Guns.

(IndustrialCraft is a hog.  It allocates two entire blocks for most machines, as far as I can see it could get away with 0.25 blocks per machine, or even 0.0625 if there's no facing info kept at all.  Wasteful.  At least the dev has acknowledged the issue.)

[Leonon]

It doesn't run out of block IDs it runs out of sprites.

[Sergius]

Are you right clicking with the wrench?

AFAIK the wrench is supposed to guarantee recovery of all IndustrialCraft mechanisms.

Wrench guarantees only 100% recovery of mines and terraformers, since they're supposed to be mobile.

Other machines have a good chance of recovery, but in case of failure you get a simple machine box that you can turn into a different machine.

Is there any way to stop slimes from spawning? it is annoying to kill them every time I mine in my deep tunnels.

[SniHjen]

More light, and do you have water down there? think that has something to do with slimespawns.

If not, then no.

[breadbocks]

Move your mine half a dozen squares oven on the x axis, I think. It might be the y, but I'm pretty sure it's x.
