Testminecraft: Power Converters Mod

This is a mod that allows you to convert IC power into BC power

First, you want to craft an Energy Bridge:

Power Converters Mod

This will be the center of your conversion system. Put it somewhere. Next, pick one or more of the various mod systems below. You’ll need at least one ‘consumer’ and one ‘producer’. Put them adjacent to the bridge. You’ll get a GUI like this:

Power Converters Mod

At the top, “INPUT LIMITED” or “OUTPUT LIMITED” will tell you if you’re drawing more than you’re inputting, or vice-versa, respectively. Each row describes one face of the bridge, and lists the following data:

Side relative to bridge

Power system connected, if any

Input vs output

Rate (or “NO LINK” if the block on that face has no wires/pipes/etc connected to it).

In addition, the background of each row will be black if nothing is there, red if a block is present but has no connections, yellow if connected and 0 throughput, or green if it’s doing something.

Note that producer/consumer blocks’ faces will change when a connection is detected.

There is also a universal charger as of 2.1:

Power Converters Mod

This links to chests (anything with an inventory, really) and can charge items inside of those chests. It understands both IC2 and UE items. It can also charge items in the player’s inventory if the player stands on it.

All recipes shown are for consumers; to get a producer, just put the consumer in a crafting grid (the reverse also works to get consumers back).

Power systems:

BuildCraft

BuildCraft consumer:

Power Converters Mod

Or:

BC consumer/producers are available if either BC or TE are installed.

Factorization

FZ consumer:

Power Converters Mod

Due to Factorization oddness, you must place PowerConverters blocks after the Factorization blocks.

IndustrialCraft2

IC2 LV consumer:

Power Converters Mod

IC2 MV consumer:

Power Converters Mod

IC2 HV consumer:

Power Converters Mod

IC2 EV consumer:

Power Converters Mod

IC2 EV consumers have no upper limit on input pulse size, so they’ll accept nonstandard wiring like GregTech superconductors just fine (though finding a way to output all that power might be difficult). EV producers output 2048EU. All IC2 producers will output a single pulse per tick of their specified voltage, but this can be increased in the config.

Steam

Steam consumer:

Power Converters Mod

Steam consumers/producers can be throttled in the config file if desired. Remember, ThermalExpansion Liquiducts are by far the most effiicent system for liquid transport.
