Question abot Power Converters Energy Bridges.

[Furious1964]

The Energy Bridge constantly says "Input/Output Limited".

What does that mean?

If it says input limited, output > input.
If it says output limited, output < input.

Have either of you experienced issues where it just seems the system just seizes up. Where they both go brown/mustard colored even though everything is still hooked up the same. When I remove the power converter blocks and replace them then they work again. I have some of these in a couple different locations, some do this some don't, it is very odd.

If your network isn't requesting power, powerconverter will not convert power.

The part where you break it and place it again is it charging up the charge inside the energy bridge. It is the blue bar at the bottom, think of it as a buffer.

Yes, and I always notice a repeating error message in the server log when they have done this, something along the lines of "[IC2 API error] powerconverts.block.something is already added to the energy net, aborting". It happens when the chunk is unloaded and then loaded again. So if you keep them in a chunkloaded area, they'll work fine. If they are not chunkloaded and you leave and come back, they'll be busted. Easy enough to punch and replace them, unless you've got dozens in various places.

Edit: Also keep in mind that something like 64 chunks around spawn are always chunkloaded (vanilla behavior), whether you've placed chunkloaders or not.
