2 months ago This is mainly a wiki issue. The loss is exactly 0.2... So technically you can go up to 5 blocks before you lose anything. 4 Blocks + machine.
But yeah this is something we just need to adjust in the wiki...
Hello,
Minecraft Version: 1.19.2 IndustrialCraft 2 Classic Version: 2.1.1
Description of the Issue:
There seems to be an inconsistency between the in-game wiki and the actual behavior of copper cables. According to the in-game wiki, copper cables should be able to support up to 5 blocks in length without any energy loss. However, based on my tests, energy loss occurs when the length exceeds 4 blocks. For a transfer of 40,000 EU, only 38,750 EU is successfully transmitted over a distance of 5 blocks.
I also conducted a test with gold cables, which the in-game wiki states can support 2 blocks in length without energy loss. In this case, I observed no energy loss over a 2-block distance, which aligns with the wiki's information.
Steps to Reproduce:
Set up a power source generating 40,000 EU. Connect the source to a destination using 5 copper cables. Observe the energy received at the destination (38,750 EU instead of 40,000 EU). Expected Result: Copper cables should transmit energy up to 5 blocks without any loss, as indicated in the in-game wiki.
Actual Result: Energy loss is observed when using copper cables for a distance of more than 4 blocks.
Additional Notes: This issue does not occur with gold cables when used for a distance of 2 blocks, consistent with the in-game wiki.
Thank you for looking into this!
