Diamonds vs. Steel and some other idears
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 10:24 am
so as the search funktion toald me some other people mentioned this problem already but i now make a new topik for it.
the basic problem is that no one needs diamonds any longer as soos as he discoverd the tecnology to make steel... tht would not be that big problem... cause u have the same with iron and stone swords,pickaxes... but iron,stone and wood do have other uses than be used for crafting tools ... diamonds do only have this use... to craft armor,tools and weapons with them...
so i have one idear how we could solve the problem and extend the BTW tech-tree... :
u change the name of the actual diamonds dropping from "diamond" -> "rough diamond" ... and all the items u can craft out of the to "rouch diamond pickaxe" ...
then u invent a new block that need mechanical power and converts "rough diamonds" in "diamonds" ... u could use this item also simmilar to the saw to cut stone,cobblestone and other blocks into this smaller pieces. thats what I though u could do if u like it.
another thing is that i know there exist other mods that add ned types of ore... but i would be realy happy if u add one or two new types of ore with BTW too. for example u could add cooper and silver. and also some new things that can be made with them.
the third thing i was thinking about is a new mechanical-power-source ... crafthet by using a furnance, some gears and a hand cramp... it´s the evolution of the hand cramp... not that fast but using the fuel of the furnance to gain it´s power... that would be usefull to build mechanical-devices in the nether... cause whaterweels dond work down there and windmills also dont...
the last thing isn´t important but I saw something like colored-lightblocks in a video and thought why not add this to BTW... but a lightblick together with some die .. or colored wool and vouila u have a coloured light block... still emitting white light an near blocks (would be realy difficult to make it emitting coloured light on other blocks) but not having this yellow colour but any other colour like green or red...
I hope everyone could understand my bad english and someone likes at least one of my idears...
