Kommunističeskiĭ Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Subject line says it all. I want to design a timeout system for conserving power out of my Applied Energistics network but apparently there's no way to cut off power without manually wrenching the power conduit.
theprolo Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Try applying redstone power to a Redstone Energy Cell. It's slightly more expensive, but it has its own internal buffer :P
Jono0259 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Not sure i understand the question correctly, but have you looked in to ME Dark Cable? Put a lever to power the cable and it will turn off. Can use it to shut off parts of your network to save power.
Kalthas Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I'll second TheProlo's suggestion. Put a pressure plate in front of your access points and run the redstone current to your energy cell. set the cell to emit on high. This way anytime you step up to your terminal it is powered on and when you step away it'll turn off. Only problem with this setup is the inability to fully automate tasks. But it's great for the beginning when you don't have a sustainable power supply.

It's slightly more expensive, but it has its own internal buffer That's what I thought at first too, but it feels wasteful to have a full box of 600kMJ sitting there just to feed a magic chest.

That sounds like what I was looking for. Thanks!
