Flowing Flux - Better power transfer efficiency by using a new mapping system.
http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/225556-flowing-flux
These 'conduits', 'pipes', 'magical energy movers' or whatever you want to call them are for those engineers who need to distribute power efficiently between geographically separated locations. Your needs may be one block or two or even up to 500 blocks, however far you need to travel.. Flowing Flux has a conduit to suit you.
The energy distribution in this system is also balanced so that more efficient network designs will offer more power available to whatever manical device you are powering. Currently there are four tiers of conduits to help you move any amount of power, with power transfer levels of 80, 840, 6920, 55560 RF/t for each respective tier 1 - 4.
Network Design
The way that power is modeled to travel through your conduit network means that designing and planning your network requires some consideration and planning.
The first thing to consider is that in order to have a functioning network you must first craft a "Network Manager". This block forms the backbone of your network and as the name so intuitively suggests, it manages all the networks operations such as intake of power, distributing power and maintaining a map of the network. Be very careful not to have two Network Managers on the same network as bad things may happen.
The second thing to consider is the power requirements for the machines/devices that you are powering. Energy flow is restricted to the maximum amount that can flow from the network manager to the particular machine. So If you have 6920RF/t conduit connected to a 840RF/t conduit, the most power you will be able to draw is 840RF/t. However you can also use augmenting paths, ie. connecting that same 6920RF/t conduit to two 840RF/t conduits will enable 1680RF/t to flow. Have fun abusing these augmenting paths to your hearts content.
