[1.19.2] Improve documentation of insulation effects #1136

Closed BurningEnlightenment closed 7 months ago

BurningEnlightenment commented 7 months ago

Thank you for porting to newer Minecraft versions and supporting this old gem; brings back good old memories :)

Can you improve the documentation of cable insulation? Specifically its effect on "resistance" losses over cable length as there is quite a bit outdated information on the internet, it would help to get a definitive statement into the in-game wiki. Additionally it would be nice to have a comprehensive table (like this one on the old IC2 wiki) somewhere.

Thanks!

EU Reader in game.

Sure, I can find those values by experimenting, but given that there is a chance that the wrench eats the machines used during experimentation, I'd like to skip that part. I also think that this would make the topic a bit more accessible to newcomers.

@BurningEnlightenment no he literally means the eureader in-game.

Go to your jei/REI or any item Lister. Search for ic2 cables and have a EU reader in your hotbar/helmet.

It will show you all values directly in-game that you need in the tooltips. That also includes machine info.

It's no table on a website but it's still all accessible to you :) In a fast way

Ah, that sounds nice. My only nitpick would be that IIRC the EU Reader is gated behind a nether trip due to the glowstone. In my case I've been preplanning my workspace area beforehands and I got confused due to the somewhat spotty information in the in-game wiki. So maybe I'll compile a spreadsheet later on and share it here. Thanks!

@BurningEnlightenment maybe its locked behing the nether, maybe it's not. I wonder if ic2c has some secrets that could help with that xD

(I did implement a few knowledge features that can be helpful only if you know them)
