Hope this is the correct place to ask,

I thought if it would be possible to add something to the additions mod that enables the mekanism Resistive Heater to be able to generate heat for a create steam boiler and other use causes like the blaze heater is used for :)

Thank you

I really liked this idea so i tried to implement it, however the problem is that Create boilers require the heat source block to have a distinct block state for each power level, while the resistive heater only has an on/off state. While it is probably possible to create a workaround it will be much mor complicated and so im putting this on ice

The resistive heater has different heat output levels, its like a number value but you could have it change its output heat state for create change depending on the range of numbers, so like the 100 to 200 is one state and soon on, but yeah i do see how that would be more complex.

A great option would just to make it have the same output as a blazeburner for the boiler, since it does take alot of power input to run the heater, it would make a feature, or it could just have the block state be not same level as blaze heater but something else that makes sure its not possible to power the heater from boiler and making a feedback loop.

Either option would be a great added feature, since makes sense the heater can be used for heating the boiler :)

Yes i understand, its a deeper technical limitation of how the heat system in Create works, making it very difficult to connect it to the number in the resistive heater

To update the heat of a boiler, the heat source needs to perform a blockupdate, which the resistive heater only does when turning on or of, this means the most i can do is provide heat to the boiler if the resistive heater has a heat level of atleast 1 any value above would be undetectable
