Bug Odd power drain when capacitor side set to input with conduit

[zedin]

So I have been following along the new DW20 season and was hooking up an oil gen to a capacitor like he did with a power monitor to shut down the capacitor input at certain level. The odd thing was I kept seeing a ~1rf/tick drain from my oil generator and it was never shutting off even though the capacitor was full. Even when I set the capacitor input to be 'always off' it was still draining energy from the oil gen. It ended up being that when the capacitor side connecting to the ender IO energy conduit was set to input it was trickling in RF even when it's input was set to 'always off'. When I changed the side to 'none' everything worked like it should.

Any clue why the capacitor was still taking in energy when the input was set to 'always off'?

Do you have a power monitor anywhere? They drain 1RF/t

Do you have a Power Monitor hooked up to it? That use a constant 1RF/t

I removed it at one point before putting it back. Will double check tonight without the power monitor to see if I see same behavior but I do know WITH the power monitor hooked up as long as I don't set the capacitor side to 'input' everythign works fine even with power monitor on same conduit network.

You can put the power monitor on a conduit "after" the capacitor to get rid of that problem. If the monitor starts seeing too much, you can use power buffers to divide the network (IIRC).
