This mod idea is based on PowerCrystals "Power Converters" Mod.
You probably know the feeling when you start your base, completly decked out in RF based machines like sag mills or arc furnaces... and then you need that one industrial craft machine to craft your jetpack. This mod helps you generate the needed energy by converting from one energy type (i.e. Redstone Flux) to another (IndustrialCrafts EU). You can even convert from EU to EU... if you want to do that for some reason...
Energy Converters provide you 3 different Block Types: Energy Consumers, Energy Producers and the Energy Bridge.
The Energy Consumer will consume energy from an energy source and store it inside an adjacent Energy Bridge. An Energy Producer will convert that energy to another type - just connect a cable or any machine to the producer and you are good to go.
A single energy bridge supports up to 6 consumers and/or producers (1 per side) - but any consumer/producer may only connect to one bridge at a time!
The mod currently supports
- Redstone Flux (RF)
- IC2 EU (Lv, Mv, Hv, Ev, Iv)
- Tesla
- Forge Energy (FE)
- Special support for TechReborn (1.10.2 only, not needed in 1.11.2 since TR improved its FE support)
- Buildcraft (MJ)
The conversion rate is currently 1 Eu : 4 RF : 4 Tesla.
Recipes
Energy Bridge
IC2 Energy Producer (LV in this case, just replace the Transformer with any other transformer for its corresponding tier)
To get the Energy Consumer, just put any producer into a crafting grid and you get the corresponding consumer.
Modpack Permissions
Yes.
please add projecte to the list so we can convert EMC to EU and vice versa
I have strange problem:
Converting RF to MJ works properly on single player but when i use same configuration on server it doesn't take energy from energy bridge.
Im using Tekxit 3 mod pack. Any ideas?
In reply to hhoopp2:
I've not tested the tekxit mod pack but in my own pack it's working fine. Can you show me a screen shot of your setup?
In reply to xalcon:
In reply to hhoopp2:
I've tried this exact setup and it's working fine for me. Please check the version of your modpack on the server and the client. Their might be an outdated version at play.
In reply to xalcon:
I am using IC2 and and every thing was fine I had put the EU consumer and energy bridge beside eachother but when I put FE producer it does not connect to the tin wire (cable)
More Info:
I am trying to connect FE producer with a tier 3 charger(Chargers Mod) to charge my Modular PowerSuits Mod
In reply to dopeggamerr:
Do you mean the IC2 Tin Wire? Those wires only support IC2 power and therefore only connect to IC2 Consumers/Producers. To connect sopmething to an FE Consumer/Producer you need an FE compatible cable or machine.
In reply to xalcon:
Can any cable from IC2 support it? If not which mod should I use.
Thank you.
the IC2 LV consumer is always consuming 128RF/tick when converting to MJ. Even if i'm not using anything on the other side, its always drawing 128 RF/tick at the consumer.... i'm going to assume this isn't supposed to happen?
In reply to sergeantshavedballs:
I'm unable to reproduce this with the latest version of energy converters. I'll need more information to reproduce this (i.e. which mod versions you are using).
Are you able to reproduce this issue in a creative world?
In reply to xalcon:
Thanks for the response. I was using version 1.3.6.24. I'm using a ton of other mods, mainly from the FTB ultimate reloaded pack (plus flux networks and some more). If you couldn't reproduce it, there's probably something wrong on my end. If I can figure it out I'll let ya know.
In reply to sergeantshavedballs:
Please keep in mind that quarries (and other BC things) can store huge amounts of energy, making it look like they "eat" all your power. BC generally works around this via redstone signals and pipe gates. I will probably have to implement that B2C producers require a redstone signal - but this would in turn break all the setups that exist.
So Gregtech CE support for energy conversion was mentioned back in Janurary, wheres that going as I dont see anything in energyconverters_1.12.2-1.3.6.24
for Gregtech.
I'd like to be able to use Gregtechs Energy stuff and machines and it'd be nice to convert it to INdustrial Craft and RF stuff for those mods that need them or can use either. This is mainly because the Gregtech stuff has more machines and energy generation stuff than other mods.
I hope there will be Gregtech CE support soon if at all possible.
In reply to nek0master:
It is on my todo list. Back in january Gregtech CE seemed to be much smaller in terms of usage by modpacks, so I've put it lower on my priority list. Implementing energy systems from other mods is always a complicated job, especially since I've never played with gregtech itself. I might investigate this topic again, but no promises.
In reply to xalcon:
I hope you can get it working as for now Gregtech CE will probably be the only thing that will be available for MC 1.12.2, unless buds makes a update to GT6 to support MC 1.12.2 but he's still working with 1.7.10 (I'm tempted to go back but I'd loose a bunch of stuff only available in 1.12.2 and my brother would probably not want to play with an older version again)
It just to bad that I didn't know Java to help out or do my own thing.
AT the moment though the one thing i really need Gregtech CE to IC2 or RF energy conversion is for the Flood lights mod as I like using their flood lights for Street lights and inside industry buildings and hangers because they're very bright but they're only compatible with RF and IC2 energy.
MJ energy consumer consume 10K RF/T all the time, whatever is plug behind.
Does RF producer outputs 32.8k RF/t as a MAX or am i missing something ? Basically i want to convert 15.0M EU/t from fusion reactor to RFs, but it seem that one RF producer can produce only ~30k RF/t max
In reply to Noeng:
The output maximum depends on the energy bridge buffer size and the amount of consumer and producer nodes. A producer can only output as much as the energy bridge can buffer (by default 10k). There is currently a known bug that allows producing more energy, which will be fixed later today.
Please keep in mind that Energy Converters is not intended to be used with very high energy transfer rates. The IE2 API only supports a certain amount of EU/t transfer per energy tier (i think the limit is 8k eu/t on the IV tier, but i need to check this), which adds even more transfer limits to energy converters.
When connected to the quarry through the copper wire → IC2 consumer → energy bridge → MJ producer → conduction pipe from the battery, it did not start. Is there a bad connection somewhere?
In reply to konpaku619548:
Make sure you are connecting a wooden kinesis pipe to the mj producer. Only those can accept energy into an energy grid.
