This mod is a (currently standalone) RFTools addon which will in the future contain all power storage and power generator blocks from RFTools. So the endergenic, coal generator and powercells will be moved here. At the moment this mod only contains a new multi-block power storage for very big power storage. In contrast with the power cells that are currently in RFTools this block provides more storage but the advantage of the original powercells is that they are a multidimensional and disconnected multiblock so they can be used to transfer power to other dimensions.
Note! This mod does *not* require RFTools. If RFTools is present the recipes will use RFTools components (machine base, dimensional shards) but that's the only connection.
Feel free to use this mod in your modpacks.
Am I missing something, where is the wrench? if its not meant to be included how do I configure in/output. I only have this mod in regards to RF tools as it was described as standalone. Really love the multi block capacitors and the info screen is amazing, over all its fantastic work.
If there's any light anyone can shed on the whole no wrench issue, this noob would appreciate it
EDIT: (after reading comments, I understand that there is no wrench included in the mod)
For anyone else reading this this is a list of wrenches that i have found to NOT work:
Extreme reactors wrench
platforms monkey wrench
catwalks blowtorch
Immersive engineering hammer
Open blocks Big iron bar
I have not tried it but there was a reply from the author stating that the omiwrench would work and of course the rf tools mod wrench.
If possible can the author give us a list of any other known wrenches that will work?
also i would remove the standalone in the description as its obviously not the case. the capacitors wont in or out without a third party wrench
Sorry if i come across entitled or rude, I really do love the mod
Good Evening! Playing with RFToolsPower 1.14.4-1.2.11 tonight. Again, I thank you deeply and sincerely for the countless hours you have given to the community at no charge. You are truly a gentleperson and a scholar.
Powercells have been renamed to Dimensional Cells and what's now called "Powercell" doesn't appear to do anything. From a naming perspective, I can't suggest strongly enough that you stick to the names that people have been trained to use. You've had Powercell since the beginning of time for the multidimensional powercell network. I suggest you keep it that way. If you want to introduce something like the the EnderIO multiblock capacitor bank, then raise the flag, salute it and call it a capacitor bank! Renaming your blocks is just going to cause frustration and discontent!
In this pack, (a shaved version of FTB Unstable 1.14), I have very few FE/RF generation options. I have a Lava Generator from Silent's Gems, your own Coal Gen and not much else. I made a Powercell (Medium), stuck it next to the SG Lava Gen and nothing happened. Literally, no GUI at all. Stuck it next to a generator and nothing happened. I hooked it up via a Cyclic energy cable and nothing happened. I spawned in a wrench and tapped it a few times. The colour dot changed but the power cable didn't connect. I spawned-in Dimensional Cell and that _does_ behave as the old Powercells behaved.
So, not sure of your goals but I feel that powercells should "just work". That is, you stick an energy producer adjacent to anything labelled something like "power cell" and it will suck in the FE/RF/CF/EU/Whatever.
Alternatively, if they don't "just work", they should be self-documenting. That is, the tooltips should make quite clear how these things are supposed to work.
Cheers
Heya!
I wanted to say that I cannot infuse the coal generator, as I cannot put it in the machine infuser. I'd love to see this coming soon.
Just wanted to bring this to your attention!
your fat and chunky you oi pal matey ayy oi yo
In reply to SquidY_Y:
i will cherish this quote forever
does this generate rf/fe or does it store it? because nothing generates rf/fe in 1.14.4 at this point
hi mcjty - just wanted to say that after watching several series of a YT'er with several modpacks i just want to say that your mods are really cool (still dunnno how to work most of the stuff only from what i see in the series) and how awesome some of the gizmos are that you added in all your mods. keep at it :)
in 1.14 have all the different RF tools mods been merged into this one or have they been renamed?
5 blocks and cant craft the coal gen ill wait a bit lol
Just check in JEI (search for @RFToolsPower)
It is relatively new
Is there a list of blocks and items added by RFTools Power anywhere? I can’t find any documentation on this mod.
Why is this mod so underused in modpacks compared to RFTools, RFTools Control, and RFTools Dimensions? I didn’t even know that this mod existed.
This is a great idea but if it work standalone needs some kind of wrench and a simple way to detect redstone signal for the current capacity.
How are you supposed to set input and output sides without using a wrench from RFTools? If this is standalone shouldn't it be possible to use this without RFTools or am I misunderstanding something? It would be really cool to have such a simple mod for energy storage :)
In reply to bunderscores:
It should work with other wrenches but it may be broken for some. If you can't find one that works then I'm afraid you will have to use rftools
In reply to McJty:
The wrench added by Extra Utilities 2 does not work with this mod, though the Omniwrench added by The One Wrench does work. Would it be possible to add support for Extra Utilities 2 wrenches?
EDIT: The "big metal bar" from OpenBlocks, intended as a wrench, also does not work with this mod. Would it also be possible to add support for that?
Using these and I'm trying to figure out a way to automate a generator to start when the cell is at 50%, but comparators don't register the level. Is there anything available that can detect the level of power in these cells?
You could add high-capacity low-IO cells and low-capacity high-IO cells to allow for some tradeoffs.
