Essentially, packets are split to smaller packets proportionally to inverse of path resistance.
WOW, Thanks for sharing this discussion with me.
It is very useful. I did use different cables , so the EU split in different size.
And Some path is too lossy, so the "share" haven't sent out.
Hi. I Just finish wiring my celling for Luminator and cover all the wires with Construction Foam
And After I put the Luminator. I found out a strange phenomonone.
Only two of my energy storages can charged at the same time , making my machines sometimes run out of power.
I know every time the wire splits, the current split in half.
So the energy storage which is further from the generator could end up with no current.
But what I have encountered is that, Some times is the Third floor and the basement are charging.
The First floor and the Second Floor which is between can't recive any current.
Could it be that I put too many Luminators that caused this Phenomenon?
Really frustrating in using the Luminator. Thinking about change to Lamp or just use Glowstone.
By the way, this is the lay out of my wiring.
|---Bat box 
(third floor)----Luminators(18 pieces)
|
|
|---Batbox (second floor) ---- Luminators(16 pieces)
|---MFE Unit 
(second floor) ----Machines
|
|
|----Batbox (first floor)----Luminators ( 22 pieces)
|
|
|---Batbox (basement) ----Luminators ( 48 pieces + 3batbox )
|----Watermill tower 
(40 Generators)
|----Watermill tower (40 Generators)
|----watermill tower (40 Generators)
Thanks! Now I can't finish it.
HI, I am new in IC2. So far, I have understood the basics and upgrading from teir 1 to tier 2.
I can't afford gold or glass fibric cables for long distance wiring, yet.
I have two watermill towers in my basement and I am trying to get the energy transfer up to several different floors.
My home's hight is within 40 blocks, So Using Tin wire(Ultra-low voltage wire) won't cause EU lost.
But I have to Split the wire every time I pass a floor. As far as I know, splitting wire also split the current 1/2.
So, the higher floors get less EU/t. and my machines are on the second floor
The main usage of EU will Be at 2nd floor.
This is the current design of my wiring layout. Using Tin cable as main line.
|---Bat box (third floor)
|
|
|---Batbox (second floor)
|---MFE Unit (second floor)
|
|
|----Batbox (first floor)
|
|
|---Batbox (basement)
|
|----Watermill tower
|----watermill tower
Would adding a batbox buffer at each floor recommand?
At least it will guarantee every floor have 16EU/t , But I will have to use copper cable instead.
And the copper only transfer 4 blocks without EU lost. It means I have to craft a lot of batbox and copper cable.
Like this lay out
|-----Batbox (third floor)
|
| buffer batbox
| |----Batbox (second floor)
|
|---MFE unit (second floor) buffer batbox
|
|
|-----Batbox (first floor) bufferbatbox
|
|
|---Batbox (basement) buffer batbox
|
|--- Watermill tower
|--- Watermill tower
So, My question will be....
1. Will the Buffer batbox be necessary or recommended ? Because it will caused a lot of batbox and copper cable expense
( or I can wait untill I can afford glass fibric cable. Then add the buffer batbox)
2. My two watermill towers can generate 12.64EU/t , So using a buffer batbox won't cause a charging Efficiency "downgrade" in upper floors, right?
Please kindly advice
