Tell us something we don't know! ;/

Who actually suggested that? Sherlock is ready and waiting to bare knuckel box them to oblivion.

But yeah, everyone here (I think) knows about these taboo subjects and that they aren't happening.

Anyone else who dare to joke and/or irritate a user and I will recieve sever consequences, AM I UNDERSTOOD?

Yep, it's a meme. Last one, I promise, ok guys?

(If you start a meme thread here, Sherlock will kill you in your sleep. Because he is an assassin on the side now due to the fact that immortal detectives are not in demand at the moment.)

EDIT: Woo! 800 posts!

Man I'm in a good mood today. I'll tell you something but I need to make something clear:

THIS IS NOT A CONFIRMED FEATURE, MERELY AN IDEA I AM APPROACHING BIOXX ABOUT IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD TAKE THIS TASK ON MYSELF.

I would like to talk to Bioxx about an alternative to redstone, but that would fit with the theme of TFC and be late game. It would have to be able to transfer energy into mechanical power over distances and be late game and here is what I have come up with: steam power. We are already planning on implementing lead pipes to transport liquids, and this idea builds on that with adding brass boilers, valves and gauges to implement a full steam power mechanism. Boilers create steam which travel through lead pipes. Valves act as toggle-able switches to stop the flow of steam power when the system is active. Guages allow you to check the steam pressure inside a pipe and certain combinations will allow pipes which are toggled off until the steam is at full pressure, allowing for repeating mechanisms. Steam pressure would allow you to activate pistons for moving blocks (and possibly pumping bellows) or activate steam turbines to turn axels which could turn a quern, hoist rope or maybe even activate a turn crank on a lift-rail system to haul minecarts of ore up inclines. What I want to accomplish with this is threefold: replace redstone with a more logical alternative; implement a late-game feature that allows you to build more and expand after you get the late-game metals and create more uses for currently useless metals such as lead and brass.

Has the positive like quota been lifted or something?

[dunkleosteus 2,425]

it gets increased the more posts you have

[Kimbblesrath 503]

it gets increased the more posts you have

Oh, ok lol. 209 notifications.......I think I've set a new record.

[achartran 465]

-awesomeness-

While that sounds amazing Dunk, what prompted you to tell us this? I must be missing something that happened, but I have read the whole thread an can't find a mention of any sort on the topic you just talked about. I'm just a bit confused is all.

Oh, ok lol. 209 notifications.......I think I've set a new record.

Yeeup, that's a new record, by a shit ton. That breaks the record previously set when I goaded like 3 people to keep giving me likes for no reason at all, Dunk's post deserves that title though.

[renadi 258]

We asked him to share he shared, don't question it!

[achartran 465]

Always question things, if you don't you might end up with a doorknob through your face. Don't ask me how, but it could have been prevented if you questioned something.

[Just_Another_Guy_:) 1,066]

NOt in home, so i can't like you too much, Dunk... but take those... 6 i think? likes i gave you as a warning >:3 liking spree is coming...

EDIT: around an hour later... IT'S TIME.

EDIT of the EDIT: around 9 minutes later. It better be worth it.

I can already give off couple of ideas how to not only make it work, but also make it quite convenient to use.

Makes my 209 look rather small....

EDIT: JAG, how do you ever reach positive like quota? Are you telling me you do this like 3 times a day? o_O

[transcengopher 349]

JAG, how do you ever reach positive like quota? Are you telling me you do this like 3 times a day? o_O

I don't think you can reach it during like spamming. Thing is - when you like a post and then unlike, quota should remain the same. So, all notification you sent to dunk is actually a single like.

[Just_Another_Guy_:) 1,066]

liking and disliking continuosly one post won't count for the quota,every time you dislike something it discounts one like. It's just that i usually like everything that makes me laugh...

Want some more? o3o

EDIT: Next time, it will be >9000!!!!! likes :3

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ok, thanks.

[GreenLeaf 198]

Poor dunk. he only wanted to be nice.

Steam power is a great idea for redstone replacement though. i hope you'll succeed with it!

I'm watching you.

And the idea of steam power as a logical replacement for redstone seems promising. However, I have a question about the current explosives, Mister Dunkleosteus: Will they be tweaked to give them a more believable feel? Or are you going to throw out the suggestion of explosives for ever? And the long-famed construction update, is it finally going to be implemented alongside with some significant terrain update and the implementation of steam power?

EDIT: before raging, this is my imagination going haywire, instead of killing me just say why not

speaking of steampower dunk, should that be added, would that prolong the era of MC to the Victorian era? because it'd actually allow to open the opportunity for stuff like trains, boats and steampowered boats, (i fear for everything i say here) guns, cannons, any development made up to the 1700's including RUM (y is the rum gone?) and allow for MANY types of different steam-powered new developments

If you ruin the chances of thing becoming real because of your "comment" the above WILL happen. As well DUNK SPOKE ALREADY LAY THE FUCK OFF!

[Gorni 73]

Dunk, best announcement ever. Let's hope bioxx accepts the idea, the community sure does.
