Big reactors to power my AE network

[MrCaptainWTF]

Hey, I've just completed a big reactor reactor, and I've noticed that it outputs RF only. So how do I convert it to an energy that will be accepted by AE?

[Gobs]

Just use Thermal Expansion's energy ducts and the power type will be automatically converted when and where needed.

[MrCaptainWTF]

Do you mean the energy conduits? Because I just hooked them up to the bottom of my controller and it is still offline, even though it is actually connecting to it.

[Curunir]

Try Redstone Energy Conduits. One end needs to connect to a Reactor Power Tap, the other to the machine that requires power. There has to be an unbroken line of Conduits, and your Reactor also has to run. Using at least one Energy Cell as a power buffer is recommended, to keep things running in case you need to tinker with the Reactor.

AE machines accept EU, RF, and MJ power. REC's like Curunir said or use a tesseract (although I'm not sure if the reactor power tap can connect directly to a tesseract or not, ME controllers can).

[EvilOwl]

Conduits work, energy cells work, tesseracts work on my controller. A tesseract on the reactor power tap is also working.

And if your reactor is pumping out more than 10,000 RF, you'll need that Tesseract, or multiple power taps to avoid wasting power.

And if your reactor is pumping out more than 10,000 RF, you'll need that Tesseract, or multiple power taps to avoid wasting power. 

I would imagine that given tesseracts have a 25% power loss on the output end you'd want a minimum 13333 power output on your reactor before you switch to a conduit.

[AetherPirate]

I thought that was only inter-dimensional, does that 25% hit occur even going overworld location A to overworld location B?

[Digdug83]

I thought it was 20% actually, but the loss is constant regardless of source/destination dimension. I rather think 25% is too high (10 seems a nice number to me) but in the end it's peanuts anyway I suppose.

[AetherPirate]

25% seems high to me for same dimension. I may edit the config file for that. 

[Digdug83]

Unless you can add in the line it's been removed from the config file. I would have edited it otherwise
