Just wondering if you would consider a liquid concrete that you can pump into an area using a floodgate and it will fill all the nooks and crannies before hardening into concrete blocks ???

experimental.. i thknk CJ will experiment and find a solution to it before it is released.

Multi-purpose fluid crafting machine.

By the way what is chemlab?

commented

to update.. IE has already implemenyed fluid concrete... it would be redundant if we do the same thing.

More than one way to move an item around.

They've copied all my features, I can copy some of theirs. ;)

Indeed, on the todo list.

It should be noted Gregtech already has liquid concrete with a similar function but without railcraft integration. Possible thing to consider to prevent mod conflict/function duplications.

commented

I'm not sure anybody should worry about duplicating a function from GregTech. GT does a lot of various things, and some people (Me) don't and won't use GT. However, I always end up adding Railcraft to my instances because CovertJaguar has produced a slick and elegant mod that keeps its own character even when functionality overlaps with another mod.

But I also think looking at how the feature is balanced in GT is a good idea. I don't expect devs to put a lot of effort into balancing against other mods because it could turn into never ending research, but glancing at recipes and the like probably can't hurt.

And actually I think overlapping features is one of the fun parts of a big modpack. There's choice and the fun of discovering subtle differences.

Basically what Mengmoshu said

If I might offer my own suggestion to enhance this one; a recipe that can use IC2 stone dust as an alternative (I'm swimming in the stuff, lol) and maybe requiring placed rebar before filling. That might be easier said than done though.
