I think that any and all electronic devices should require electricity to operate. This would then force people to design their wires into their home and create one of the electricity generators (posted above: solar panels?), and the devices would only work as long as they're plugged in. For example, if you have a microwave running and are cooking some pork, disconnecting the microwave halfway through will halt/completely stop the cooking of your pork. Microwaves would also act like furnaces, having two states: on and off. The only difference would be that microwaves could use the same block ID, but with different metadata values (thus conserving block IDs).
First, I just want to say that in this case, electricity is power. But like your solar panel idea.

hey pplz! im back!
bk 2 bznss!
1st, wondering if you look at the page i made on the 1st page that i post all my new ideas on. the very 1st page is kinda outdated.
second, well, i am on demand for new ideas. if you have an idea, post it and i will make it a better idea!
yeaz!
Alcat, can you work onthe solar panel than? Many thanks.
yes, i belive i have already posted the solar panel idea in the earlier post i was talking about. i will check right now to make sure i did, and if i havent, i will edit it in.

Sticks and stones may break your bones but a diamond sword cuts your head off!
Umm... 45% is too much. How about 30%? I put that in the update.
And also, HAMS should not target you. Do you know ScottyDoesKnow's sentry? It should work like that.

well, through the nature of electricity, it will target a thing with a high conductivity (metal or water)
so, if there is no other conductor, it should target the player.
(possible thing could be having a lighning rod nearby that will absorb electricity that should target the player)

Forgive me. I made this within 2 minutes with Picnik. I didn't expect this to be good either. It's just a temporary sign until someone makes the banner. I like your's, prowne. Can you do it?

Oh no, I wasn't complaining about it, simply asking about your choice of colors. Anyways, I'll give it a go :smile.gif:

While I may be inactive, you can check up on what I'm doing on my website Gamer's Den.
ok, i am going right now to try to make things all easier...
but also more complicated.
First, we need our power.
will represent power
machines need
elecrtonics need
but how do we get ?
we produce using redstone! ( )
what you do, is you make this thingy:
[]
this is the POWER TRANSMISSION CONVERTER! or the PTC for short.
[size=xx-large]power is needed to operate this machine. do not use wood, coal, redstone, or lava to power this machine.[/size]
what you do is you put redstone here
[] [] []
[] [] >
[] [] []
redstone is turned into !
this, of course, is a very easy way to get power. But, of course, you need to power it.
So before you make the PTC, you must make a different way.
Simply take 4 and craft them into a coal clump. Then put the coal clump in the furnace to smelt some .
The extreme heat of the coal clump will turn that 1 redstone into 1 .
then you just put that in the PIKT (redstone and lava do not work anymore) to power stuff,
like the PTC!
tired of producing power only to have a third wasted on generating it? want a more eco friendly way of producing power? i present to you the RAINIAL TRANSMISSION ROTARY DEVICE or the RTRD:
=PIKT
[size=xx-large]This product has nothing to do with retards or the retarded. Nor is itself retarded.[/size]
The RTRD uses the power of moving water to power the Power Source. Having a waterfall fall right beside the RTRD will power a significant source of power. It requires no other materials, and can be hooked up to the PIKT to supply it with power.
[size=xx-large]The somewhat inneficiency of running water makes the RTRD have a 40% decreased efficiency to regular power.[/size]
Also new is the GEOTHERMAL MULTITUTIONAL PRODUCER or GMP:
[]
the GMP takes the power of a block of lava directly below it, and transforms the energy into power. This can then be cabled up to a PIKT to produce energy.
[size=xx-large]The slight inneficiency of lava makes the GMP have a 25% decreased efficiency to regular power.[/size]
Do you not have any buckets on hand. Too lazy to find lava. I present the new SOLAR COLLECTION UNIT! or SCU
the SCU takes the power of everyday sunlight, and turns it into power. Its very simple design allows it to be placed, hooked up, and powered in a couple of minutes!
[size=xx-large]The inneficiency of the sun makes the SCU have a 45% decreased efficiency to regular power./size]
For the 1.5 update, us at computercraft co. desided to bring you the LIGHTNING TURBULOSIS RODDIDER or LTR.
[] []
the LTR will take the power of lightning and turn it into power! Any lightning strike near the LTR will convert that raw power into UN-raw power. It is completely efficient and has no side effects.
[size=xx-large]Do not stand near LTR or you will most likely be hit by lightning. This is not our concern.[/size]
From now on, i will be posting all my new ideas on this post! This was just a simplified un-simplified post on !
New is cables!
cables transport power ( )
cables are similar to redstone. BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT
cables are not destroyed by water! cables can go on walls and celings!
simply connect your cables to the PIKT and your microwave oven and you have INSTAPOWA!
[size=xx-large]You are required to produce power before you can power stuff. see the section above for details.[/size]
cables are made with special ingrediants called and
simp;y make some by following his recipie:
this produces 16 IRON CABLES! these are used to transmit power from one thing to another.
[size=xx-large]caution must be provided as touching an iron cable will produce a 2 heart shock. this makes cables dangerous to use on or near common walking areas.[/size]
from request, we have developed cables that do not waste iron (or produce a shock) so we hav also come up with
CLOTH CABLES! these are near similar to iron cables in most ways. crafted as so:
due to cloths nature, this recipie only produces 8 cables. these have the same effectivity as iron cables, without the wastefulness of iron or the hurtfull shock.
[size=xx-large]cloth cables have a 20% decrease of effectivity, requiring more power to operate.[/size]
After countless debate and checking of files, we remembered we had plastic. So, we decided to create PLASTIC
CABLES!
These cables are completely insulated and decreased efficiency free. They have no side effects, and will last for trillions of years due to plasticts biodegrateble resistancy. They have been manufactured for your very needs.
this has been another simplified un-simplified post for you. we hope this has improved your usage.
now, we have power and cables, but what do we do with them?
I bring you the ELECTRICAL MODULATING HEATER! or EMH for short.
the EMH acts like a furnace to smelt and cook stuff. BUT, The EMH is much more productive, improving smelting by an amazing 20% speed and amount! This allows you take great stacks of cobble ans smelt them in SECONDS!
[size=xx-large]The EMH will not smelt a stack of cobble in seconds. It will take time.[/size]
Also new is the HOSTILE AUTOMATIC MOB SHOCKER! or, of course, HAMS for short:
[] []
= LTD lightning rod
The HAMS can be activated by a pressure plate, switch or button and when done so, it will target any mob in a 5 block radius. It will then send a high voltage shock to hit that mob and cause 4 hearts damage. If, though, there is no mob other tha yourself, it will target you.
[size=xx-large]Pigs hit by the HAMS will turn into zombie pigmen. this is not our fault.[/size]
The new Electricaly charged defender fence or ECDF is the newest improvement in spider defence.
[] [] []
the EDCF will cause 5 damage for anything that tries to climb over it. This efectively halfs the health of spiders trying to get into your home. having two fences stacked on one another will kill any spider climbing on it.
from computercraft co.
Toodles!
many updates.
also expecting post from close friend and possible new contributor.

hello, i am friends with Alcat1, and would like to contribute to computercraft. i do not have any skills in modding, so please dont turn to me for modding support. i do have experience in photoshop, so i can make basic textures, but i also would like to mainly help with ideas.
Here are some of my ideas.
= Simple Chip
Anti-Creeper Protection ( Must Be Wired To A Computer To Work)Or ACP:
Crafted As Folowing:
The Device Repels creepers within a 10 block radius.
Helpful For Home Defence.
The Mob Seeker ( Must Be Wired To A Computer To Work)
= Any Kind Of Pressure Plate.
= Dispencer
Crafted As Seen Below.
[>>-i>]
The Mob Seeker Pulls Hostile And Neutral (Exept For Wolfes)
To The Device Within A 25 Block Radius.
The Mob Does Not Get Pulled, More Like Atracted. It Will Walk Towards It.
When It Is Stepped On, it Will Shoot An Arrow Up At The Mob And Cause Damage Of 4 hearts.
When It Is Stepped On, It Will Stay Activated To Shoot Another Arrow At The Mob, Then De-activate.
This Is Optional, But An Idea For An Idea. When The Player Steps On It, He Gets Hit With The Arrow And If
The Player Has A Tamed Wolf, The Wolf Will Attack The Player As The Player Caused Damage To His Owner.
Thanks For Taking A Look At My Ideas, And Hope They Might Be Useful.

Sticks and stones may break your bones but a diamond sword cuts your head off!
You said you needed ideas for a "Computer world" would this be inside the computer, like a nether-style location? if so, I have some ideas:
Virus (Hostile mobs) like a miniature ghast, it would be covered in matrix-style code and, like ghasts, shoot some sort of projectile at the player.
The landscape might be challenging though: you would need to have an abundance of computer-related materials (for example, plastic, cables, etc...) without making the game way too unbalanced.
also, it would be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to implement this new realm without help from notch and his crew.
also, the recipe for wiring ( ) clashes with the recipe for plastic cable. they both share the recipe
Maybe you could change the recipe for cable to include wire instead of redstone like this:
the wiring was one of my origional ideas, which i changed to late be plastic cables.
cables are wires and wires are cables. the cables are the exact same as the wires. i just want the wiring removed and have the cables thwere instead.
remove wiring.
