P12simpson: correcting myself

== Cables? ==

Luminators don't '''look''' like they're acting like cables to me! They mount somewhere, adjacent cables behind the mounted surface run into them (but not cables on other surfaces), and there doesn't seem to be any way to attach more than one cable, immediately eliminating any possibility that they can transmit power from one place to another ("act like cables"). Pretty sure they're working like machines. I don't know what their storage, max packet size, or energy consumption rate are though. Those should probably be fixed up.

::Thanks. I put the energy into the nice table template, but someone should probably figure out the maximum permitted input packet size. That seems to be all that's missing. [[User:Hawk777|Hawk777]] 07:52, 20 December 2011 (CET)

== Strength/brightness? ==

How bright are luminators? They appear to be about as bright as a torch, but I am having a tough time being able to tell for sure, and I'm not sure where in the mod it is set in order to find out definitively.

Also, I know this is hardly the place to make any suggestions, but it sure would be nice if they were considerably brighter than a torch, considering how much set up or maintenance is involved compared to a simple torch (though certainly luminators are more aesthetically pleasing). - [[User:Niveras|Niveras]] 02:08, 19 January 2012 (CET)

: As much as many people would like various industrial light sources to be really bright, the Minecraft lighting engine doesn't (easily) allow that. Torches have a brightness of 14 within the torch block itself. Fire has a brightness of 15, and the engine doesn't allow levels above 15. This same issue has been raised with Eloraam for RedPower lumar lamps. We'd all like it and it might happen some day, but if so it'll either require some cooperation from Mojang or else quite a bit of work in Minecraft Forge, from what I've heard.

== Switching on and off? ==

Is there a way to get these to turn on and off using a lever and splitter cable? The energy storage prevents you from being able to use it that way since it will just stay on using it's stored energy (which will last a LONG time). If it's really not possible then that's really disappointing, I feel like the luminator shouldn't have storage. I know the redpower lamp is an alternative, but it's impossible to hide the redstone (unlike how you can hide wires in cf foam) without very thick walls or putting the lamp on the floor.

Bronze Wrench

P12simpson: Word corrections

[[Bronze]] happens to be PERFECT for crafting advanced engineering tools.
Like... [[file:picture_na.png|right|link=]]

Wrenches!

With a wrench, you can do ''NEARLY'' anything!

''Repair allied buildings within seconds, kill enemy spies after destroying their sappers,'' and, of course, you can '''DISMANTLE machines''' with it.

Yes, you heard right, now '''you can easily right click...'''? Wait... with a wrench?

Hayo, did I miss something? '''...any sort of machine to instantly dismantle and recover it.'''

WE LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT, HAYO!

We do not guarantee that your machines will always be dismantle without any trouble.

<small>A 100% chance to successfully dismount machines is granted solely to skilled Engineers.
We do not take responsibility for any machines lost from the improper handling of wrenches.</small>

== Recipe ==

{{Grid/Crafting Table
|A1=Bronze|B1=|C1=Bronze
|A2=Bronze|B2=Bronze|C2=Bronze
|A3=|B3=Bronze|C3=
|Output=Wrench
|Output-link=Bronze Wrench
}}

== Usage ==

To use the Wrench to remove a machine, simply right-click the machine.

The Wrench's removing mechanic will override the machine's interface-- don't hold a wrench when you want to use your machines!

Without the Superwrench 100% mod; there is a chance (Aprox 70-90% success rate) that when you do, the machine will not be successfully removed and instead you'll be left with a gutted [[Machine]].

It's also worth noting that any items or energy stored in the machine will be lost when it is dismounted.

Shift/sneek clicking will move the output / selected face of transformers to the opposite side.
