When you have a bank of Cells connected in series it will cause a self feed loop that consumes all the conduit throughput instead of acting like a on demand RF Storage

well - use EnderIO capacitor banks instead

sure as soon as you add a equivalent to the resonant cell 80M RF

current largest cap bank is 25M

RF energy is transfered by pushing. So the energy cell is pushing it into the conduit, which in turn offers it to all connected blocks. Nothing we can do here.

Also, you can build a loop with anything. Unless all blocks belong to the same mod, there is no chance for any mod to recognize it as a loop.

yes a cap bank can get those values but only when you stack them in a multi-block the cells are single blocks with 80M RF and my systems are generally compact as possible making a large multi-block bank undesirable

can i insert an other cross mod issue her as i think it fits perfectly?! when i drop 2 EIO Caps and plug an immersive wire between, both caps start pumping into each other in an infinite loop ... cap 1 -> cap2 until cap1 empty then cap1 <- cap2 until cap2 empty .. wasting energy .. unless i specify the power flow direction, which is nt configured by default ...

That is the same issue - EnderIO conduits & capbanks work closely together to provide an easy and optimized power system.

As soon as you start to mix power transfer/storage systems - you have to carefully configure every part or things go wrong.

@mindforger A cap bank will not accept energy if it is full. So the wire must be taking the energy even if it has nowhere to put it, and voiding it. (Update: Or just transferring it there and back all the time and the wire loss is doing its thing.)

RF is quite clear: Any block that provides energy pushes it into any connected block that can accept energy. That block must then say how much of that energy it actually took. The providing block has no idea, what the receiving block does with it. It may use it to light up, or it may offer it to another block in turn (that's what wires, conduits, ducts... do).

Cap banks do exactly that. They look how much energy they have and how much they are allowed to output per tick. Then they go over all connected blocks, offering each of them that amount and reduce it by the amount that block took. That's it. Done. No magic, no special cases.

On the receiving side, Ender IO machines and cap banks are as direct, too. They look at the offered amount and if they can fit (part of) it into their buffer, they do so and return the amount they took.

Conduits have some special cases for cap banks, so those don't get offered energy that could be put into a machine and won't be drained for another cap bank if both are on in+out.

ok looks like the server admins tweaked the configs since the server i play on has them set to 80m

is there some API to that? like it could be implemented on other mods to add their respective storages to do the same and also the feature to "see" those marked storages to prevent crossflow

Is this also the reason why measuring the current flow trough capacitor is hard? Id like a way to see how much RF that are passing trough a capacitor not just how much it goes up or down.

Get Compact Machines mod. Done.
