Changelog: Stage 18 – Applied Flux Support

Updated

ME Energy Terminal Recipe

• Requires 1 ME Terminal + 1 Dense Energy Cell.
• Uses a shapeless crafting recipe.

Important: Dense Energy Cell Requirement

• A Dense Energy Cell must be connected to the ME Network for AE2: Power Integration to function properly.
• The Dense Energy Cell provides the AE energy buffer needed for power transfer and network stability.
• Without a Dense Energy Cell connected to the network, power integration features may not function as intended.

Added

Applied Flux Compatibility

• Applied Flux blocks are no longer treated as FE machines, preventing energy loops.
• Config: appliedFluxCompat (default: true).

FE Cell Support

• Config: fluxCellMode (default: OFF).
• Available modes:
  • DRAIN – Powers machines from FE cells before using the AE buffer.
  • CHARGE – Stores excess FE in FE cells.
  • BOTH – Enables both draining and charging.
• Respects cable direction, bus settings, and network transfer limits.
• Prevents charging and draining the same machine in a single tick.

AE Buffer Charging

• Allows FE cells to recharge the AE power buffer.
• Config: fluxCellBufferCharge (default: false).
• Config: fluxCellBufferTargetPercent (default: 50, range: 1–100).
• Respects the network transfer limit.
• Does not affect Imported/Delivered energy readings.

Startup Logging

• Added a startup log message indicating whether Applied Flux FE cell support is enabled.

Notes

• Applied Flux is optional and is not required for AE2: Power Integration to load.
• FE cell support is disabled by default and must be enabled through the configuration.

Known Issues

• Large networks may experience additional processing overhead from FE cell operations.
• The ME Energy Terminal displays energy stored in the AE buffer only, excluding FE stored in Applied Flux cells.
