Suggestion: EC-Block

  • A block to accurately measure and display currents passing through it. (It would be a machine, in order to balance both the costs and make coding easier).

    It would display 2 different values, EC/s (or frame) and EC/ks (or 1000 frames). This would enable a reliable monitoring of both LV and HV currents. In a circuitry sense it would behave just like a cable (which doesnt care what type of current is put through it). Possible uses include:

    -inputs into factories
    -outputs of generator fields
    -maintenance stations along HV-grid.

    craft recipe:

    [C][EC][C]
    [R][M][R]
    [C][ ][C]

    C=Cable
    EC=EC-manipulator
    R=Redstone
    M=Machine

  • Interesting idea, then you don't have to tote around an ec man. when you want to measure things like what you said, I like the idea, might just get implemented :)

    In my world, I downloaded the new IC2 version, got up a whole bunch of crossbreeders going, and thought to myself "This is going to take a while. Wasn't there an abandoned mineshaft not far from my workshop?" So I get my tools together, charge into the mineshaft, suffer many close shaves, stayed a bit longer than is probably healthy, but emerge from the experience all the wiser (literally, I gained several levels), and with oodles of melon and pumpkins seeds to boot.

    And come home to find out that weeds have destroyed my entire farm. :cursing:
