question about powerloss in cables

  • I know for glass fibre you lose 1 eu every 40 blocks, im wondering if that means you lose it exactly after that amount or over the period


    for example i have a compact windmill outputting 512 ue/t, if i place a mfsu 30 blocks down the cable will that keep and 'reset' the exact amount of power, will there be any loss?

  • Before IC2 experimental, power loss was after that amount of blocks, so you could potentially get lossless cables by putting a transformer of the same kind after every 40 blocks with glass fiber cable. This also meant that no power would be lost if you had less then 40 blocks going from your power storage, to your machines.


    Now in Ic2 experimental, power loss is based over each cable, so it is no longer possible to have lossless cabling as you will loose 0.025 EU every block instead of the old 1 EU every 40 blocks.

  • Is power loss even enabled already? I know for example shocking from uninsulated cables and EU/t limits are not enabled.

    I don't know if it is or not. All I know is that it is planned that to be that way, or already is.
