They do have a 5% power loss, though. Compared with gold pipes, for less than 50 meters, conduits lose more.
But then again, they're smarter, and they won't explode if you loop them.
QFT, I had 4 combustion engines pump 30 minutes non-stop into a full cell trough some conduits, nothing exploded, nothing overheated, conduits drop the excess.I think the redstone conduits are intelligent enough to discard a bit of energy when theyr full, so the magmatic engines will never overheat. (their heat level will rise pretty high, but itll stabilize in a large number)

Yes it worked like a charm, thank youI think the redstone conduits are intelligent enough to discard a bit of energy when theyr full, so the magmatic engines will never overheat. (their heat level will rise pretty high, but itll stabilize in a large number)
BC pipes aren't smart, so don't use them with machines that can use and adjust themselves with smarter pipes. Use the conduits from Thermal Expanion rather than BC pipes.
Basicly with BC wooden pipes it will leave the Magmatic running at full speed forever (or until it overheats). Use the TE pipes and the magmatic will slow itself down to a .5 or so mj/t and not overheat when there is no energy being used.
How is that wrong?
The BC pipes will continue drawing that power preventing them from sleeping until they blow up.
In what way would you say BC Power Conduits are better than the TE ones for engines that can throttle themselves? Where is the advantage for them? Cost to build maybe? That is about all I can think of.
