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
This includes all of my mods on curseforge:
You can include any of my mods in any modpack as long as you provide a modlist that contains the following information (excluding libraries):
- Modname
- Author
- Website (Github, Curseforge, etc)
If your players have issues with the mod, please make sure they are on the latest version available.
Question, how do I get the power from my FE producer to all of my techguns stuff? I'm able to power it all if I put them directly in contact with the producer, do I need a cable from a different mod other than this one and techguns?
In reply to JohnnyTisdale:
This depends mostly on the mod. In general, the FE Producer tries to inject power into adjacent blocks, so if the machines arent too picky, you wont need cables. But I highly recommend cable mods for ease of use.
I cannot get my MJ producer to output power

In reply to QwQWhatsThis:
I've just tried this and its working perfectly fine for me. Might be a different mod messing things up. Which version of the mods are you using? (Buildcraft + Energy Converters). Is this part of a public modpack?
thank you so much I was looking for one a long time
Hello, the server im part of cannot craft or create IC2 energy converters. I cant figure out why. The only way to get them is in creative mode, but crafting does not work. Any input or ideas on how to fix this? Im running Tekxit 1.12.2
Heres the crafting for a LV Energy producer: https://imgur.com/ODqTW9P
In reply to CyLiXImmortal:
It seems tekxit modifies the recipes via crafttweaker, so this is not a bug on my end. Make sure the server and the client use the same version of the modpack. If it's still not working, report to the modpack devs.
Can I change the ratio in the configs?
Like I want to configure how much explicitly for one conversion, like I want make where I get a few RF for every EU I convert, but I want to make it where I have to give a LOT of RF for each EU because I’m using Draconic Evolution and the Draconic Reactor just produces to much RF that it would totally break the stuff in IC2.
Edit:
I found out that you could configure it, though I haven’t seen how it works, I don’t know if you control a value of a energy or if you control the conversion, but either way it most likely won’t matter because I can’t even get the thermal series because of the AoE tools that are too overpowered for their cost and the only RF mod I have is Draconic Evolution anyway.
Edit 2:
But I wouldn’t really want to be able to power some insane Draconic contraption with a simple EU or MJ setup, so I would still prefer to be able to change the conversions themselves.
You shouldn't need to touch the conversion ratio. What you want is conversion loss which is set to 0 by default. Set this to a higher value. I.e. A value of 90 would increase the energy requirements by 1000% - you lose 90% of all energy converted, so you need 40 RF to generate 1 EU and 1 EU only gives 0.4 RF.
A value of 99.9 would require 4000RF per 1EU and 1EU only gives 0.004 RF.
amazing mod, will it support immerxive engineering volts?
In reply to Ethernel8:
As long as a mod supports the Forge Energy API (FE), there is no need for me to explicitly support additional energy systems. So no, I wont add any special support since the FE Converters already work.
In case you haven't noticed, your license on CF doesn't match your license on GitHub. It would be great if you changed the license here to reflect on what the actual license for the code is.

I've updated the project page.
help all i have it fe converters only fe i have buildcraft and i need to go from rf to mj i dont know how please help me
In reply to ramitin2015:
Use the FE converters. There is not a single mod out there (to my knowledge) that supports the RF Api without also supporting FE. Even worse, a lot of mods only support FE but call it RF which leads to a lot of confusion. At the moment RF support is deprecated and will most likely be removed in the 1.13 releases of energy converters.

hi,
So in your MJ consumer recipe, it requires 2 Iron Gear. In this case I already had Unidict Mod long before installed your mod...
apparently it when I tried to craft MJ Consumer, It doesn't allowed me to use Iron Gear from Thermal Extension, it only allowed me to use Iron Gear from BuildCraft's Iron Gear.
so because of the Unidict Mod I installed, it deleted the possibility for me to craft BuildCraft's Iron Gear.
Hence, creating your MJ Consumer is Impossible on my game.
Though I can craft normally for another buildcraft recipes that happens to use Unidict Iron Gears like Quarry, Miner, Pump, Etc.
I have the latest version of BuildCraft, Unidict, and Energy Converters.
Im going to try to reinstall my Unidict and see what happens.
update: yes it might be an incompatibility issue..
https://imgur.com/dYQm2qT you can see that i have 1 iron gear but it doesnt register it as the required iron gear.
In reply to amirullahizzan85906:
Since unidict is changing recipes, I'm not sure if I can do anything about this. I will replace the gear with the oreDict entry gearIron in the next release - not sure if this helps, but it should improve compatibility in general.
nice!
