Storage ignoring priority

Using the 3.3.0 build of FTB revelations.

Storage is always acting as lowest priority, being last thing to fill and only working as an "overflow".

My current setup:

2 power "sources"
Solar array priority 100
gargantuan storage priority 50

3 power drains
Always on machines priority 70
Gargantuan storage priority 50
Only excess priority 30

This system should allow for the "always on machines" to stay powered regardless of day or night (solar array power input) by using the gargantuan storage as a buffer to power them during the night and being refilled during the day. Any excess power would then be dumped into the "only excess priority" group.

Currently, the power input is working during the day but going straight to the "only excess priority" groups - without filling the storage container whatsoever. The storage container will only fill if the power income is more than used by the "excess priority" group.

Logically, Storages can be both input and output. But in a tick, you can't be sure whether its final energy change is positive or negative. Therefore, cross transmission is not allowed and the priority of Storage is always lower than any Point or Plug. If there is any Point can receive energy, the energy will go to the Point first rather than the Storage, you have to deal with the excess on the power source (use another network for instance).

Ah understood, thanks for the response! I'll give a second network a try
