PhoenixSmith Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Alright so I connected some advanced solar panels up to a resonant cell on the moon, and realized I had the heavy wire attached to an output and went to change it. To my surprise the whole cell was full! It had been empty. I tried it again. It seems that when an input is facing the wire it takes a good while like usual, but when its an output it goes up impossibly fast. I would assume this is a bug. But it's an awesome way to fill all my cells right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbintion Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 This is a known infinite power bug that should be avoided as it can cause chunk loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixSmith Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ok. Thank you. Is i okay to use them normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loader Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yep, they work fine normally. Just avoid linking too much TE stuff to GC stuff - make sure the linkages only happen in one place. it can cause chunk loss. Depends on your point of view - I personally have seen a lovely spiralling garbled staircase thingie which was much better than a lot of modern art I've seen. No argument that it utterly destroyed anything that was in the chunk, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
czzarr Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 ok so no tesseract from main power source to power my space station? And can you please elaborate on how TE power will cause GC stuff to glitch resulting in chunk loss? thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loader Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Anything that can take or receive power in TE you should be careful to connect only once to a GC power source. In your example - letting the TE conduit (can take in power) touch the solar panel or wire on multiple sides in the same conduit - the panel/wire outputs power to the TE system each time it touches, not an overall calculation like it should be, so if you had a TE conduit going around a wire in a U shape it'd touch it three times and draw however much power is in the wire out three times (this is where the infinite power comes from). The corruption comes from the fact that this extra power can exceed the limits that it should be able to in the TE system and after a point the number gets so high that minecraft can't store it in the allocated space any more and it rolls into the next byte of the chunk save file. A tesseract would be fine in all likelyhood, use GC cables most of the way and go into the tesseract once only, or just make sure any TE conduit touches whatever wire network you have only once and you'll be fine.

And I use the battery's to power my galacticraft stuff. Also the magmatic dynamo is a great sorce of power for TE stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loader Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It's a bug in galacticraft or the UE extensions it uses, it'll no doubt be fixed by them soon (they were rushing a fix because a lot of things weren't transferring power at all so that's probably why this happened). I don't think there's anything the devs here can do about it, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
