Just got into this and built a few energy pedestals/collectors - tried placing them near statues on pillars and no PE seems to be being gathered at all. This worked originally, but at one stage just stopped entirely. Can still collect energy by holding the book but of course, this means I can't automate the process... is 1.10.2 still being supported?

Wondering if it might be the energy collectors' NBT/metadata, but I've tried crafting entire new ones with no impact. Tried new statues as well generated by lesser shoggoths.

Energy relays don't seem to be able to transfer energy from/to Energy Containers either; it's like the block to block network has died a horrific death somehow; yet block to player-held necronomicon is fine.

EDIT: Okay, so sacrificial altars collect PE correctly, and relays can move PE from sac altars to energy pedestals/collectors, PE can be moved via relays from energy pedestals/collectors to Energy Containers; but never move energy out of the energy container.

It seems therefore that the only broken thing is:

Energy Containers never "output" energy through relays
Statues do not fuel energy pedestals/collectors

Yet these were both working when first playing with the mod.

Apparently it's to do with the position of the collectors and the statues; I've found they operate correctly but only at very odd angles - for example: Statue is 4 blocks away and one to the side of the collector: works. Statue is adjacent to collector: does not work.
