energy tap

    the energy tap can be used for a power collection point or a battery charging point for a cable. the energy tap is placed between two cables. ( like this: :Cable: :MFE-Transmitter: :Cable: ) when a battery is placed in the energy tap and a power source is connected to the cable, the energy tap will re-direct all energy flowing through the cable into the battery. the energy tap doesn't store energy, it just acts as an energy collection point for a solar flower or something. finally, there could also be upgraded energy taps that could charge a energy crystal.

    hope this is a good idea!

    Some few question:


    1. The energy tap accept up to how much EU/t? ULV? LV? or MV?
    2. What about Nano, Quantum, tools, batpack and lappack?
    3. Why the treetap in the recipie??? :huh:

    1. tier 1 energy tap can accept ULV and LV, tier 2, MV,tier 3,HV.
    2. nano and quantum armour could be charged in tier 2 or 3, the batpack, lappack, and EU powered tools could be charged in any tier energy tap
    3. because the treetap is a tap. (could be replaced by cable if the ic developers actually put the energy tap in minecraft)

    Isn't it an exact reprodution of Charging bench without internal storage??? This is part of the cable instead of connected at the cables but it do the same things... i don't think this is needed... the addon work very well, and if the dev want some like this, they had integrated the addon long time ago...

    well the energy tap could take only a percentage of the energy flowing through it. it would be perfect for smp. houses closer to a power plant would be more expensive because they would get more energy.
    PS. have you ever seen one of those youtube videos where a wooden power pole burns because of electricity? that is what would happen to the charging bench. it's wood!

    "the energy tap will re-direct all energy flowing through the cable into the battery."


    It's not what u saied in the first post... that way u cut off half of the city EU supply for a couple of seconds...
    Actually charging bench do what u say lastly so u are making energy tap even more similar to them...


    And for clarify, the charging bench have wood, but is supposed to be the support where the cables (that is the EU connectors) lies... but i agree that is a bit too cheap for recipies.

    Have you all thought about that it could just be a tool that you don't need to place in the world but instead hold in your hand and right click a powered cable?
    Could either function like a charged battery or it should maybe bring up a GUI when performed so to not lag the E-net by clicking different places rapidly.

    good idea. :thumbup:
