1.2.1 generators can't transmit power to EIO machines without using a conduit #463

Open MatthiasMann opened 9 years ago

MatthiasMann commented 9 years ago

TileEntityGenerator.transmitEnergy() is checking for IEnergyHandler instead of IEnergyReceiver.

ya know that this is not related to the issue, just place the block directly onto the generator, or do the opposite (the generator instead). I don't seem to have this issue :(

I can confirm that this seems to be busted with both 1,2,0 and 1.2.1. Hooking up a EIO conduit fixes the problem with transmitting energy, but, once removed, transmission stopped. I put a SAG mill all around the 6 sides of a survivalist generator and zero energy is transmitted.

Using the DW pack, 1.7 - 1.0.3 pack, this makes it impossible to progress with RF transmissions. Even the basic RF conduit needs the alloy smelter. I went and tried with the EU power pipes and still could not get power to go FROM the generator to an alloy smelter. When I hooked up a cheated in conduit, the alloy smelter came to life

that's strange :/ well if you want to do the energy transfer legit luckily the energy transfer cables (thats probably not the true name of the item) in Extra Utils are still an option...

I'm not as familiar with the energy transfer cable included with EU, but taking just the red energy cable and hooking it up between the two devices (Survivalist Generator and ANY RF device) didn't work, nor did hooking in the energy extractor (Looks like the item extractor) from EU with the red energy cable in between also didn't work. Looking at the energy transfer block (Not sure of the name of it), I'm not at the state to build the QED, which completely invalidates the whole transfer of energy for that particular item, since you need RF to refine the materials to get the QED and accompanying "power" components for the QED.

The stupid thing is, I went back to watch the DW videos for his latest lets play series before I started my hunt on fixes, and all he did was put two survivalists generators down, with the sag mill (I think it was the sag) and it worked. So either something else in 1.0.3 is influencing how EU is behaving, or something else is going on. I might start a new survival world with his 1.0.0 setup and see how that goes.

Either way, I just cheated in two basic EIO conduits to my Big Reactor, and now my SAG and smelter are working, and I can continue from there. I'm playing on private server with just me on it, so, not a huge deal. ;)

If you place an energy transfer node directly on the generator then run energy pipes from the node then it will transmit power.

It's really simple - ExU checks for IPowerHandler (which was the old RF API) while now it needs to check for IPowerReceiver. The RF API upgrade was done incomplete.
