Also transfer EU

Open Daenara opened this issue 8 years ago • 9 comments

While quite new to this mod I plan to use it to build me a sorting system. I play a custom modpack mostly with industrial craft and that's my main power mod. Since I plan to build quite a few ic2 machines in my network it would be great if I could transfer EU over there too so that I don't need to put extra cables everywhere.

I don't know if it's a feature that many will use or not and if it's even possible from your end, the ic2 people are quite possessive of their energy net so it does remain balanced.

I hope you consider this Daenara

PS: I'm not sure if I even could label this but since I don't see how, it's a feature request

If I would implement this, it would be separate from the existing energy interfaces/readers/writers. This wouldn't be trivial though, since this mod is completely based on capabilities, and EU is interface-based.

But in the meantime, you could use Energy Synergy to automatically convert between Forge Energy, Tesla, RF and EU.

I will try out Energy Synergy, if it does what I want it to I will ask my server admin to add it in. I somehow had a feeling that it's not as trivial as I thought, otherwise it would just be done already. It's a hassle that nearly every technic mod has it's own energy system to work with

Energy Synergy will work as long as your setup does not require EU machines to actively push/pull energy themselves. It will only work of the cables (like Integrated Tunnels components) are able to push/pull energy to/from EU machines.

All ic2 machines I tested it with worked. Sadly all things from the ic2 addon Advanced Solar Panels don't work but they are not essential to what I want to do. Using Energy Synergy bypasses the power tiers of ic2 thought, so it would still be great if there was just a way to move EU through the network directly someday. For now it is a good solutino, thanks for the tip.

@rubensworks sadly this stuff is IC2Exp Only and it would first crash with classic and second not work with it.

@rubensworks we are intigrating now your mod to our beta test so we could do all Related IC2Exp/IC2C Support tests. Also it would be a small request but our server is a weak one. If we find performance hogs would you try improving them when we find those?

@Speiger Definitely! Be sure to report any performance issues as you find them.

@rubensworks sadly i didnt even manage to geht easly a item transfered which was the requirement. And I tested it like 10-20 minutes just to get that started. No doc either you were afk and so I decided on xNet sry.
