Energizer FE Port doesn't "Push" Forge Energy

Hello :).

I setup an Energizer, and its receiving energy just fine, but when i set one of the FE ports to 'output mode' its not pushing energy.

I was able to hack around this because laserIO can do a 'pull' of FE, and that worked.

Screenshot below, showing cable has 0 FE in it.

Interesting, I was not aware of that either, and there is nothing in the docs about it.

I will add an 'active' FE port that will push energy when in output mode so players can choose which one to use depending on their needs. The Energizer already distributes energy to the charging ports, so it will be straightforward to implement.

Active port added in ER 1.20.1-2.0.90 and 1.21.1-2.4.15

Have fun

Thank you! :)

My understanding is that Forge energy is meant to be a push based system though - so cables that “pull” energy aren’t actually behaving correctly.

I didn’t know this when I made LaserIO and never removed it :).

But most cables I tested with don’t have a “pull” option.

Hi there.
Yup, by design it act like a "passive" port of the other multiblocks, so you need cables that can insert and extract on their own. You could have plenty of ports per single energizer and that could hurt TPS a bit if they all auto-extract/insert
