I have been waiting for a mod similar to this... this goes above my expectations... I thank you for making one of my dreams come true.

in the future i would love to see ring Transports for local teleporting kind of like a Lift of sorts- in a very fancy way

I wonder if someone at Stargate B can see the rings locking in when the person at Stargate A sets the address. Be pretty ominous on multiplayer to suddenly hear your stargate begin activating.

to answer your question yes person b can see it activating and it is pretty scary since we have it on a pvp server dont let the wrong people get your gate address

I've not yet tried out the mod, but daaaaaaaaang, it looks excellent. Also, a slight suggestion for those of us who prefer a more show-accurate thing, would you be able to add an option in the config where the Stargates are only one-way like in the show? (I.e. you can go through, but to go back in without dying, you have to dial home.) I'm fine with the current options, I'm just a nit-picking fan. XD

Also, another suggestion would be to add the option for an Iris(Like how Earth's 2nd gate was given one), so then you could prevent folks in a Pvp server from breaching through. Also, I've not yet tested it out, but does blocking the other side currently lead to instant death like in the show? If so, that would be awesome!

Anywho, thanks a ton for reading, and have a very grand day!!!

Greetings!!! I love this mod and all it does, but I would very much like to add a couple more suggestions, if it's all right. First off, It would be awesome if mobs could go through the Stargate (Such as Creepers or Cows), because it could not only help out your own transportation, but the transportation of livestock.

Secondarily, would you be able to make this mod compatible with Micdoodle8's Galacticraft mod? He said you could look at his github repository here: If you do, it would be quite awesome to use this to travel to the Moon in that mod(And in the future, Mars and all the others!).

Thanks very much for reading, and have a very grand day!!!

I have Mystcraft, Dimensional Doors, and DivineRPG, and the Stargates all work in those Dimensions, but with the Moon dimension, it gives the Stargate a lot of symbols and says it is an invalid dimension to travel to. I'm not any sort of coder myself, but after talking with micdoodle8, he said that his dimension is coded the same, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

Great mod! THe khachunk, khachunk stargate cycling and buetiful interface work blows my mind =) Great attention to detail =)

I belive the naqueda generation is killing my map. If I go slow there is no issues but I can watch the console in MP and it just floods with rand generation of it. Also in sp I will also disconnect and get kicked out when it can't keep up with the render. It could be a conflict with my world having to much render but I never had an issue till this.

The mod works outstanding, But it acts as though it can't keep up with generation. Maybe add a config option to exclude generation or reduce the amount?

Maybe you could support ComputerCraft, so we can programm an DHD in LUA

Just thinking out loud here but are you working on a different model for the DHD?

I have the same SMP server set up, however I don't run into any issues with naqadah generation. In fact it's quite fast in seeding the world.

Yeah I'm not sure at this point, I've tried actually removing it with no changes, Also tried xycraft but still lagged a lil. What forge version are you using?

Love this

This and IC2 for power generation Don't forget to add the red gate clamps that transfer power to the gate as well.

i have a bit of a beef with how the stargates are powered. i am a hard core stargate fan and i know for a fact stargates do not run on naquadah nor do they have the internal components to maintain a naquadah reaction you need a separate reactor hooked up to the gate for naquadah power. normally they are powered by energy stored in the DHD it's self. in the absence of a DHD gates have been known to run on energy as powerful as a lightning bolt or as ghetto as hooking it up to a car battery "if you don't believe me watch the episode where they go back in time to the 1969 you'll see they actually use jumper cables to dial it. so lets face it if your going by cannon than stargates need no power from any source other than the DHD and can run on power as low as a 12 volt car battery. if your just adding this mechanic for balance sake than the gates should accept any energy given such as EU MJ Bluetricity or universal electricity. in all there is such a thing as balancing a game and than there is overbalancing. it already takes a crap ton of materials to craft these.

also ... no iris/force field...... your saying a greifer can just chuck a nuke at me and there is nothing i can do to stop it. serious abuse potential here.

don't get me wrong i like the mod it works quite well but your choice of naquadah for fuel while a DHD is present. strikes me as nothing more than a stopgap to keep hard core survivalists from complaining it is too easy and you shouldn't cater to those types as they ruin the game for causal players just look at Greg tech. also with the lack of an iris or other gate defenses anyone who knows your address can find your base and do serious harm.

so please if your going to make a stargate mod do it right and don't arbitrarily butcher cannon for some weird sense of balance. you might as well have luke's light saber run on diamonds or make a star trek mod where spock has large square ears.

either way you risk earning the ire or raging nerds.

Perhaps the DHDs have a naquadah generator inside internal thats were the naquadah would go. This would explain why they were able to jump start a DHD with a car battery. Because like a car engine that runs on gasoline, all they needed was the battery to jump start the DHD's internal reactor. I don't see any cannon reason or explanation why that couldn't be the case. Also I like the idea of being able to manually power and dial gates via other power sources. I would avoid MJ though because MJ is kinetic and AFAIK know the only kinetic part of the gates are the locking of the rings. They require electrical power to create feilds which open the wormhole. So ony EU, or bluetricity. Probably just only EU because almost all mods have an add-on generator that produces EU from its own power system.

Having a stand alone naquadah generator that produces EU would be a neat add-on as well =)

The one in Cheyane mountain didn't have a DHD AFAIK and it required a massive amount of power to run though. Anyone got any information on the story arc around the Naquadah? It was a key technology in the SG series.

As it stands now its not bad how it works either. Maybe the DHD's have no internal generator and the Naquadah generators are built into the gates and the DHD is only a computer that accesses them.

That would explain why you could power a DHD with a battery and still dial a gate as-well. Because the generator was all in the gate itself and the control system just needed a small amount of power. Wireless transmission of energy is common so maybe DHD's work on a principle like that and that DHD just needed to be repaired.

Maybe the Gate in Cheyene mountain was broken or had a defective Naquadah generator and this is why it needed to be wired to the facilities power.

With the above line of reasoning its perfectly reasonable the way the mod is now. I also don't mind some slight changes to the technology to make the mod workable in minecraft without an advanced physics degree =)

WOW DUDE JUST STOP. it is clear that you never watched the show because for one in the episode 1969 where they jump start the gate there is no DHD present the gate is running entirely off the jumper cables. also even if the DHD had a internal naquadah reactor one brick of naquadah i wold like to point out that it takes 2 jaffa to lift just one because it is about as dense if not denser than uranium additionally the energy content is far greater as explained in the series. a gate would never consume an entire ingot of naquadah in one dialing unless you were doing something insane like dialing a 8-9 symbol address but since those are only used for inter galactic transit and mine craft is a single world. additionally naquadah reactors last a very very long time. the reason they don't last very long in the stargate universe is because THEY MAKE HANDY BOMBS. so instead of using them like power sources they keep blowing them up


also please RTW there is an entire section for power sources

Wow dood please dont flame me. You cant even jump to conclusions based on few facts and observations in real life... well you can but they can be totally wrong.

All I was doing was speculating as to why the mod might work into the SG series on its own. I wasn't even disagreeing with you.

P.S. I have watched the shows allot SG, Atlantis, SGU, so I am familiar. I just dont pay enough attention to technobable to post a trolly know it all response about it on a modding forum.

Anyway ... back to your original argument, sure remove the naquadah power source, or make it like you said require one brick in a reactor. The gates themselves also make big booms. More to make me believe they are related to the Naquadah power sources.

There are also several types of gates. I suppose there's a real wiki article out there.

http://stargate.wiki...ki/Power_source

http://stargate.wiki...m/wiki/Naquadah

the Stargates themselves are composed almost entirely of Naquadah

Since they are composed of Naquadah they are probably generators themselves and use up their own internal naquadah over time.

Anyway I am all for accuracy but its fine the way it is and if you wan't to use technobable and sci-fi you can argue around for it in the cannon of the show.

Just like Star Trek, the writers invented all kinds of things they never got around to writing into the story or show... like tsuriops in the Next Gen. Same thing goes for Naquadah, leaving other authors room to expand on it.
