Where's the HV cable?

[Valkyrie172]

Hi all,

I'm slightly new to this but I have already created my own underground missile bunker with 10 tier 3 silos and have big plans for it, and I also have had great experience with minecraft (other than voltz). So another of my concerns was energy, and after some thought, I opted for nuclear fusion. Today i began testing and constructed an exact replica of TacticalLion's fusion reactor. Although when i started it up, my cables burned out. As a result of some quick research, i realised that i was using regular copper wire, which was obviously not fit for these kinds of power levels, and immediately sought out for some Insulated HV Wire, but it was nowhere to be found. A brief scan of a roughly helpful thread stated that this, and some other items, had been removed from the game.

Can anybody recommend some other method of transporting energy please?

Thanks

Universal Cables should work.

Cheers, I'll give it a try

There was the mod Electric Expansion that added loads of different cables. The author discontinued it, but another mod has come out for Minecraft 1.6 which adds them back in.

where and how do i get the lastest mod and get voltz to run mibecraft 1.6

[dwwojcik]

The launcher doesn't support 1.6 yet. You can't. Don't threadjack.

[rocketkiller]

so i cant create and use the power from any fusion and fission reactors since there are no wires/cables that wont burn out when using them til it starts to support 1.6?

Universal Cables should work.

well they dont i tried the universal cables and they dont even hook up to the battery boxes

[dwwojcik]

I belive there's something called a "Universal Power Cube" that you can use. I don't actually know, this is just what I've heard.

Universal cables DO work, just not with battery boxes for some reason. You need either basic, advanced, elite, or ultimate energy cubes to transfer power from your power source to your power storage with those cables. The universal cables are the only way to transfer power, use copper wiring for nothing but circuits.

bat boxes, transformers, etc are all redundant now. Use Universal cable for everything, and use energy cubes both as transformers and batt boxes.
