[Idea] New Items and ship maybe

Power Cell - A very EXPENSIVE object.

new Furnace (unknown name) - has the same amount of squares as a workbench in the same order but is only used to create a power cell right now.

How to create the furnace:

Iron bars replacing the cobble going around.


How to create the Power Cell:

In the new furnace, put 6 diamonds along the 3 squares on the left and right. On the middle 3 squares put 3 lava buckets. In order to continue further, get 1 stack of coal and put it in the fuel part. It will take 2 minecraft days (about 30 - 1h).

Tractor Beam: Used as mining. To use it, you need a Power Cell to fuel it. It can be turned on/off. There is also a double chest inside it so it can store whatever it tractors. You basically aim it at 1 square below you at the earth and it will slowly begin to tractor blocks up. When it reaches the spaceship or whatever, it will be sucked into the tractor beam and stored in the chest inside it. This tractor beam can mine all the way down to bedrock. Also, when using a power cell to fuel this, you can make a total of 10 holes going down to bedrock 10x10 big (You will get 5500 blocks or more from a 10x10 hole going down to bedrock). If you decide to stop mining this 1 hole half way or a quarter of the way, and move locations, your power cell's duration will be at the same from which you stopped the tractor beam.

How to make the tractor beam on a workbench:

One diamond block on the middle left block
2 chests on the top middle and top right blocks
The bottom 3 blocks iron blocks
The middle block 1 redstone
Middle right block a Sticky Piston

If you right click on the tractor beam finished:

There will be a slot for the power cell.

There will be on the right the space of a doublechest.

Above the Power Cell slot is the on/off button.

Total amount of materials needed to make a fully operational tractor beam:

1 stack of coal
35 iron
15 diamonds
2 chests
3 lava buckets
Sticky piston
1 redstone

Total Materials you can get out of this baby:

55,000 blocks from 10 10x10 holes.

Should it be halved to 27,500 blocks meaning 5 holes max then the power cell is used up?

Should there be a mining ship that this should be mounted on?

Is this overpowered?

problem is that you get more than 6 diamond and 3 lava doing this. so you just can keep doing it intil the whole planet is destroyed.

summary is . this could be a very powerfull greifer tool

Well it could easily be downgraded.

10x10 blocks down to bedrock gives you 5,500.

You will at most get 8 diamonds unless your lucky however your right so I suppose should only be at 1 10x10 square. Simply cause you can do A LOT with 5500 blocks.

5500 blocks is a good deal more than will fit in a double chest.

EDIT: Never mind, I calculated wrong.

EDIT 2: No, I didn't. A large chest will hold 3456 blocks.

My opinion now, This tractor beam should only be allowed to tractor 3 holes MAX. More like 2 or 1.

Fyi, this is futurecraft so there is advanced tech lol.

yes but they are not going to put "world destroying nukes" in the mod either. this mod might have some advanced tech but they are going to keep it balanced. IF this was added i (and i think many others) would use this as a weapon/underground base locator rather than mining robot

EDIT: with this you could actually destroy a whole planet doing nothing. build many frigates. equip them all with this and set some robots to steer them all. 1 or 2 days later you get lots of diamonds and you destroyed a world. (if nobody destroys the ships)

nice to see new people actually posting


also I think the devs said they weren't going to add tractor beams

Too bad could be fun to throw people or even shipd around and crash them .

I think lukas has a point, so mabye if the tractor could not pick up liquids or if it missed 30% of the stone/ore, that way no one can make a semi-automatic world destroyer

Interesting. I thought tractor beams were being added.

One sec, let me check....


Yep:

Quote :

Tractor beam: no vehicle damage, continuous fire, 100 EUs per second of use, can be controlled via wireless, no ammo required, 1x1x1 (must be placed in the hanger of the ship (i.e. a section of the ship that has a force-field or large door between in and space.)) It will draw ships into the hanger of a larger ship (of course it won’t if the ship it is trying to pull in is larger than the entrance to the hanger). 10 turret points.

Ah, I thought someone had said we weren't


well then they are being added.

Funny. The only people supporting Mr. Spartans ideas are new people.

Who?
