Apparently, when an EU packet reaches its destination, the packet's size is rounded up to the nearest whole number -- I run a 32 EU packet through 4 copper cable to batobox, and the packet it loses (.2 • 4 ) .8 EU on its journey, which is rounded down to the nearest whole number, here 0. My question is: must EU packets always come in whole numbers? The wiki says, for example, that the max EU/t outputted by a water mill is .25 EU/t -- does this mean the generator outputs a single 1 EU packet every four ticks, or a .25 EU packet every tick?
(Related second question: The wiki says that a wind mill outputs 0-4 EU/tick, multiplied by 1.5 in a thunderstorm -- does this mean that a wind mill in a thunderstorm has a good chance of melting any connected tin cable it's connected to ? (4 EU •1.5 = 6 EU, capacity of tin cable is 5 EU))
