Description of bug

The full-block ME interface doesn’t say whether it’s online or offline in Hwyla’s information box, but the slim ME interface block does. This may be an oversight rather than a bug since, I assume, the slim ME interface is a more recent addition compared to the original full-block ME interface, but I’m unsure. I haven’t tested if this also occurs with The One Probe, a similar mod to Hwyla.

I assume that this a problem on AE2’s end since I think other mods usually have to incorporate their blocks into Hwyla and other mods like it rather than the other way around, but I could be wrong.

To reproduce

1. Create an ME interface with Applied Energistics 2 and Hwyla installed.
2. Place it down.
3. Witness that it doesn’t say “Device online” or “Device offline” in the Hwyla box.
4. Break it, convert it to a slim ME interface in a crafting grid.
5. Place it down.
6. Witness that it does say “Device online” or “Device offline” in the Hwyla box.

Expected behaviour

The full-block ME interface should say whether it’s online or offline in Hwyla’s information box.

Ah, okay. Could you explain why? I’m just curious. It’s very useful to know when they’re online, so I don’t see why you can only see the status of the slim block.

Every part has an ingame status indicator, but this is missing for the block interface. For Hwyla/TOP and probably other similar stuff, the basic rule is that they cannot be mandatory. So they will never expose any information besides what is already visible with the block/part itself.

This is by design.
