Issue Title

Power station should be compatible with energy detector cover

Expected Behavior

An energy detector cover attached to the power station controller block should emit a redstone signal with its signal strength depending on the amount of stored energy inside the power station.

Current Behavior

An energy detector cover attached to the power station controller block does not emit any signal at all.

Possible Solution

Let the energy detector cover emit the energy output, just like battery buffers do

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Place working power substation and fill with energy. Place working battery buffer and fill with batteries + energy.
2. Attach energy detector cover to power substation controller block. Place energy detector cover to battery buffer block.
3. Put redstone next to the cover and measure the signal strength.
4. Battery buffer will output signal strength depending on battery charge level. The power station will always emit a zero strength signal.

Context

The power station is an energy containing multiblock, which usually replaces the single block battery buffers in later tech tiers. Battery buffers do output their energy storage as redstone signal when an energy detector cover is attached. This is critical for automated energy production (e.g. turbines shut down when batteries are full and restart when batteries are near empty)

So the power station controller should output the stored energy as well when an energy detector cover is attached. Without, it is basically impossible to simply automate wasteless energy production.

Game Environment

Modpack: GT New Horizons 2.0.7.5,
but tested with only GT5u and GT++ as well (latest versions)

Also include:

• Gregtech version: 5.09.33.16
• IC2 version: 2.2.2.828a
• Java version: 1.8.0.221
• Operating System: Win 10

Misc Info

•    Using GT:NH/GT:New Horizons?
•    Single Player?
•    Multi Player?

No idea how.
The cover itself probably needs code adjustment, so highly unlikely it’ll ever be supported.

for me the energy detector cover has always worked from 7.5 up to on of the latest versions of gt++

Apparently the session I tested this in was bugged. Did another test in a fresh world, it works now. Closed.
