Gregtechs role in the modpacks.

The test proved to be pointless for three reasons:

1) When I tried to fill the internal buffer, a 10000EU starter supply was too big for the internal buffer. When I said that thing was tiny I wasn't kidding.
2) Adding an choke tube and efficiency tube brought the effective power ratio right back to 3:1 instead of 6:2. All I did was halve the speed it outputs power at.
3) It seems Power Crystals added safeguards against power loops as when I tried to loop the power it simply burned through the internal buffer.

So there you go, even before you factor cable loss into it the Electrical Engine will at best match the 5:2 power ratio and power looping is not realistically possible.

I'm not sure why you'd call it "pointless." Data is data.

But you can't use 2 iron (efficiency) tubes? I thought I did exactly this on my DW20 server. The forestry documentation suggests that if you do the ratio would be 3:2. Or so Forestry's wiki implies. The choke is just supposed to be there to address the small power buffer; it doesn't affect the actual efficiency in any way.

O M Friggin Deity, it's just a game!

Sorry, I'm having to read a government document right now about zoning issues and what they plan to do about it - came here wanting some R&R and I'm greeted with the above post discussing power, choke tubes, ratios and such and it struck me - THIS IS MORE INTRICATE that the damn zoning document I'm reading right now -so much for R&R!!!

I checked this as part of the test; it too is capped at one tube per board.

I'm pleased about this. I can include PowerConverters without hesitation now. All I'd do is disable steam consumers.
