Well, if we had a switch block you could probably make something like this using the Redstone Sequencer from RedPower set to 300 or Risugami's Light Sensor.

Yes, this is another plug for a switch block. =P

I suspect some of this may already be in the pipe so to speak, but I thought I'd post it anyway so it can be discussed.

I would like to see the EU-Reader improved in such a way that it provides more information than it currently does. I also believe having the EU-Reader provide more information will help reduce the number of noob power transfer questions that are asked.

So, the suggestion is that the improved EU-Reader will display the following:

• Average Throughput - This is currently all the EU-Reader displays.
• Average Packet Size - How big are the packets being sent through the wire?
• Max Packet Size - What's the biggest packet observed.
• Average Loss Per Packet - How much loss are the currents flowing through this wire incurring?

To clarify the last one, Loss will be calculated by simply observing the loss each packet suffered on its route and averaging the values. It is possible that packets passing through a wire are coming from different sources and going to different destinations, in which case this reading will be less useful. But it will be very useful for debugging wires with only one source and one destination. I personally see this as the single biggest improvement the EU-Reader could receive.

Nice, localized force fields rather a bubble sound cool.

That's from Shockah.

I learned the hard way to move away from the lava before filling my cells.

So if a creeper touches a open wire do you get a Charged Creeper?

Also, though I don't know if this is a bug, I seem to be able to transport currents higher then the rated amount through a cable. I attached a dozen or so MFSU's to some fibre cabling all converging to another MFSU. The EU-reader reported a EU/t of around 20k EU/t. I assume that this means it's not the sum of the EU/t that matters but the size of the individual pulses. Some clarification would be handy.

A cable's rating only determines the max packet size that can be sent through the cable. There is no limit to how many packets that can be sent.

Personally I'd like to see the EU-Reader display Average Throughput, Average Packet Size, and Average Loss of all packets that pass through the wire.

Isnt the electric wrench breakproof? I know the recipe is broken, but it is in game.

Perhaps range varies based on power provided?

Or should, I can see localized terraformers being useful.

Pretty sure pumps can make water cells now.

Making the change to the stone furnace would require a base file mod. Not happening unless Forge happens to come out with a way to change existing fuel values.

My understanding was that any modder could submit hooks to be included in Forge.

If youve ever taken something apart and then put it back together you'll know that building something is much much easier than taking something apart in a manner that makes it possible to reconstruct it.

Only if the construction was shoddy to begin with.

Damn modern manufacturing processes.

Yes, but Rechargeable comes with the territory of having a re-battery in the mix. And the part of it being electric. And Circuits aren't free. (Plus planks are hard to come by in the middle of a DESERT!)

Rubber trees dont grow in deserts.

No it won't, unless he writes either his own version of it or makes IC dependant on RedPower Core (which won't happen I bet).
Elo's coverplates work only with her RP wires and nothing else. The question if they can be used for BC pipes comes up quite often and the answer is always the same.
But Al's idea is good idea too, some platic blob you put around the cable so it becomes a normal block again and then the obfuscator thing can change the look of that block.

Actually, the cover plates will work with the next version of Chicken_Bone's WirelessRedstone Fork.

I thought loss was added then rounded down, hence copper = 0.2 loss per block * 4 blocks = 0.8 which is rounded down to zero. And gold was 0.4 loss per block * 2 blocks = 0.8. If gold is lossless out to 3 blocks, then my assumptions are completely wrong. =/

Pictures? I too havent seen a good description of how to set this stuff up.

Well I'm sure Optifine will be compatible with Forge eventually.

I use them to make bronze and then make minecart rails.

Also storage blocks where added.

I noticed that when placing cables next to batbox/mfe, it doesnt open the charging interface. Would same be possible with RedPower wires?

Quote from Hermasetas

It needs a constant 16 EU/t to cook stuff
When you apply redstone power it only needs 1 EU/t to heat up. The problem is probaly that you just put a redstone torch next to it... Try putting a lever on top of it or add some restone wire between the furnace and the torch

This is the same problem this thread talks about. The devices only work when strongly powered, rather that weakly powered.
