Mana Fluxfield not powering AE2 directly
Gragnar opened this issue ยท 7 comments
I'm not sure if it's a missing mod or a bug and if so, which mod is responsible so I'll post this to both projects. I'm playing on a mostly magical playthrough and I'm trying to power AE2 directly from a Mana Fluxfield but none of the methods I've tried seem to work. I've tried to put the fluxfield next to an AE2 energy acceptor or next to an AE2 energy cell and in both cases the mana spreader shoots a couple times into the fluxfield and stops (probably because the fluxfield doesn't have anywhere to send RF) and the drives connected to either do not light up. I'm using the default settings for both Botania and AE2. I've also tried with and without COFHCore + COFHLib + ThermalFoundation. Here are a screenshot of the test setup and the list of mods I'm using:

After some more testing, I can use an ExtraUtilities energy transfer node to power the energy acceptor with the mana fluxfield, so the fluxfield definitely works. It seems to be something between the 2 blocks that prevent it from working.
Here is what was answered on the AE2 github:
AppliedEnergistics/Applied-Energistics-2#702
IEnergyProvider would not solve the issue with AE2 as we are not actively extracting power and rely on something inserting it.
But it should for example allow Energy Extraction Pipes from ExtraUtilites to extract RF from the FluxField.
Oh, if the optional is for the |energy api that might need changing on my side too.
IEnergyHandler implements IEnergyProvider and IEnergyReceiver.
IEnergyConnection is the most basic one, just indication if something can connect, but neither recieve or produce RF.
IEnergyHandler would only make sense, if the Mana FluxField is intended to extract RF from the adjacent TileEntity and produce Mana. Which I highly doubt.
IEnergyReceiver is more basic and just indicates the adjacent TileEntity can recieve RF (but will not produce it).
This applies mostly to TileRFGenerator.java#L33 and TileRFGenerator.java#L106
It is not about the Interface which TileRFGenerator is implementing itself.
Using IEnergyConnection is perfectly fine.
If you want to change it, IEnergyProvider would be an idea. This would allow other TileEntities to extract RF from the Mana FluxField instead of pushing the RF out.
IEnergyConnection seems fine though. I'll keep it as is right now unless any issues happen.
