Could someone direct me to the API source please? EDIT: Nevermind, I found it.

PowerConvertors is not an API. Just a matter of terminology. I think you're misunderstanding what an API is and what it would do. As I described in my wall of text earlier, the API I am suggesting would only standardize the functions for adding or removing power from some entity. It would be...

I had thought of that actually. I'd be super easy to add that. I'll make it configurable with a master config that applies to all others ok? And I'm thinking 5% just like TE did. Oh yes, any block that turns one kind of power into another should totally look like a cross between those two...

Didn't he offer fully configurable conversion rates? If it can be configured, you have no right to complain since you can make it lossy yourself. Regardless, this thread it really making me consider making my own Power Converters type mod, only with an eye to well, keep with the styles of the...

Neither really. It's not the number of networks, but the fact that they all work so differently and that they're so mutually exclusive. It is possible to make say, machines that can accept different kinds of power, but you have to basically do them all individually. A few functions for EU a few...

Nearly all ordinary technologies started out so expensive only the very wealthy or governments could afford them, like cars and computers for example. The Tesla is what the giant building-sided computers of the 50's and 60's are to your tablets today. In a few more decades it will seem horribly...

I do not know what that means. What I'm saying is that the network begins and ends with the cables, instead of including the machines. How mods move, use or store power is unimportant to the API, which would only control how things send and receive power. That is what would allow so many...

I really feel like a lot of people are either missing the point or not understanding what a universal API could mean and do, so I'm going to do my best to explain what I think it means and how every current power system could convert to it without any users noticing the difference. I think the...

Well, for one, mods don't like being dependent on one another. For another, well, as Covert and King have just shown, people have different ideas about how to do things. If you'll read at least some of my post above, I think that what King wrote might be an excellent step to a Forge power API...

Just like l3lackCalamity, I've lurked here, but never signed up before now. As a modder myself, I know the feelings going on here. To be a programmer, you MUST care about the tiny details, you have to want the best and you must be a control freak, it's a requirement, since the code isn't very...
