IC² Noob, Small solar flower remains powerless.

Azathoth · Jan 6th 2012

I used to always make solar flowers whilst the mod was in the original version, the switch cabes ect.

However after using IC² on my SMP server, I realised after spending the time to collect resources to make 20 Solar panels, that they refuse to provide even a single energy unit.

I assume i'm overlooking an extremely simple wiring mechanic that has been implemented in IC², so it would be fantastic if someone could point it out.

Energy won't flow if there's no reachable (not too much loss) and energy demanding target.

Tin should be able to reach for 39 wire units. After that you'll need a batbox, other storage unit, or an LVTF/MVTF/HVTF which will eventually lead to a storage unit.

I just remembered that energy is sent in "packets", and that it's not a combined 20 packet, it's a bunch of packets of 1, I had a few copper cables to end the connection, just enough to cut off 1 EU, killing any power. Switched them all to tin and it works fine.

IMO the EU/p should be changed, doesn't make sense for a tin cable to hold 20EU/t going through it.
