Bill Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 What is the best way for me to transport IC2 electricity a long distance. Minecarts? Cables? what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backplague Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Glass Fibre Cables are the easiest and most efficient, carts are good too but they dont have a stable delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xylord Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 If you can manage a mix of lapotron crystals and enderchests or teleport pipes, I guess that would be good too. But don't take my word for it, I haven't tried such a system yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Teleport pipes are sketchy, I'd avoid them like the plague. I'd rely on glass fibre cables for moving LV current and up just based on the fact you only have to worry about throwing in an energy storage device every 40 blocks to reset the degradation count. For less than LV, as in cables running from water mills, wind mills, etc you can use tin cables that have the same 40 block count rate. Clearly cheaper than glass fibre cables by a mile but they can handle at most, around 5eu per tick. Glass Fibre Cables can handle a maximum load of 512eu per tick (HV).

Wendo Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 The minecraft setup in railcraft can transport power via an MFSU in a cart. If you're talking really long distances I'd think about that. Of course if you're talking relaly long distances just generate it on-site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
