[Monster] Tesseract RF transfer limit

[Turtles]

I could't find any new information about it but, has the RF transfer limit for tesseracts changed?

Before this lastest updated, I had updated RotaryCraft myself to get those new magnetostatic tier 5 upgrades, and they use alot of RF. Then I upgraded my energy production with some Compact WindMills and some 8k+ power converters for RF, It wasn't enought, so I built a Big Reactor for 59k RF/t. I built lots of Ender IO capacitor banks and used some Ender IO conduits (they were only limited by number of conections, 20k RF each, now they are limited by a total of 20k RF) to transfer from my tesseracts to my Capactor Banks, had a Power Monitor instaled and I could see how much power I was transfering at that moment.

All this before the last update. What I saw was that the Power Converters could only convert 50k RF/t with only one tesseract, so I splited them in 2 lines of power converters and 2 tesseract and then I could transfer the max amount of energy produced. The same with my Big reactors.

Now with this new updade, tesseracts seems to be able to transfer more than 50k RF/t, my Power Converters are able to transfer, for now, 67k RF/t. But Ender IO got updated, and energy conduits got nerfed, as I mentioned before, and I can't monitor my power In and Out anymore without limiting my output to 20k RF/t (by passing a conduit through the power monitor).

Anyway, If the limit changed, anyone knows how much is it?

(Sorry about my english, not native)

Tesseract I/O is limited only by the conduits connected to them.

Edit: Your English is better than some people I know who speak it as a native language, so I wouldn't worry about that if I were you.

Thank you. Then that 50k RF/t I was getting was probably something to do with the max input my system was able to accept?

It sounds like it.

Ender IO power monitors monitor the whole conduit network they are connected to, you do not need to run conduits through it.

I know, but somehow it can only detect if theres an RF input on the capacitor banks if theres power going through the coinduits it conects, and thats why it limits my Input/Output. My tesseracts are conected directly to the capacitor banks, so it can transfer all RF I produce directly, and I could't find a way of monitoring it.

If you have some idea, I would like to know

 

[belgabor]

Ah, I see. In my previous world I probably had a similar setup. Power production -A-> capacitor bank -B-> power sinks, where A and B were separate conduit networks. At that time, iirc, there was no problem monitoring this, but that's some time and Ender IO versions ago. In my new world I just have one large network with the capacitor bank attached, imo works much smoother. The monitors ignore the bank regarding I/O and I found that to be totally ok, I don't really care about flow in/out of my bank, I care about toal input and output, that I is normally >= O and the storage level of my bank

 

[Turtles]

Yeah, now that I have a surplus of power, I don't care much about the in/out, and realized that the only thing I need was the redstone signal that the power monitor emits when the cap bank is bellow some percentage. I prepared some emergergency backups with some gas turbines and a big reactor. But after understanding the way things works I think its much easier to setup those energy storage without caring much about in/out.

 

[belgabor]

Even without (or rather, especially without) abundant power production I now prefer this setup. Much easier to keep track of global power flow.

In my experience, tesseracts seem to have problems transmitting more than 2GW (about 355k RF/t).

How does that work? When connected to "other things" Redstone Energy Conduits have a 10,000 RF per connection limit. I expected (and have wired up my tesseracts) assuming that I need to connect an additional face for each multiple of 10kRF I need to transmit / receive.

I have 32 magnetostatics consuming 11932RF/t each in my mining world. They are all hooked up to a line of universal cable (the old, unlimited version), and one tesseract was unable to supply enough power. Two, however, work fine.

So, Tesseracts have a practical limit of 60kRF in TE3, unless you have some univeral cable or cable from another mod that supports more than 10kRF per connection?

Yes or unless you can connect the tesseract directly to the machine. That way you also avoid the limit.

You can ofc just have multiple input/output Tesseracts on the same channel.
