Mr_Pink Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 What's the best method , considering also cost/efficency , to transport energy over long distances without using telport pipes , enderchests or other similar devices ? -4x insulated HV cables transporting EV current ( 2048 EU/t ) to minimize the energy loss or -BC conductive golden pipes with EV current converted ( 819 MJ/t ) to minimze energy loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconsented Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 HV cable 1 EU per 1.25 blocks Gold Pipe 1% or 8.19 perblock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typee Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Redstone energy conduit. The loss is not distance-based, so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Pink Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Ok i've calculated a bit and i've found that golden pipes are not worth the cost as they lose 2 times the enrgy lost on the HV cables : HV , as stated by disconsented , lose 1.25 EU per block Golden conductive pipes lose 0.1% of energy per block so 0.819 MJ , as the conversion factor between MJ and EU is 2.5 EU per MJ , the loss is around 2 EU per block Redstone conduits lose 5% of energy but they are not distance-related so they'll lose around 41 MJ , that converted means around 102 EU . So i've concluded that HV cables are the best choice to transport energy on relatively short distances ( around 82 blocks ) but the redstone conduits are better on longer distances .
