But each pair of conduits lose you 5% right?This is pretty much what I do for inline cells, works like a charm! (I do left / right instead of top / bottom, but whatever works!)
(Redstone Energy Conduit) Can someone explain the 5% loss?

I think conduits have a stable loss. Meaning even if it's 1 cable it loses 5% power. You can run it over 2000 blocks and it'd still carry 5% loss.
Yes this is the case. But currently if you do this:
Engine - Conduit - Energy Cell - Conduit - Energy Cell - Conduit
You've incurred 3 instances of -5%.
Uhm.. the man that made the Tesseracts states otherwise..?
I don't get that. Redstone Conduits lose 5%, and Tesseracts lose 12% 5 + 12 = 17
How in the hell did I add that wrong lol!
Anyway, since he was reading this thread, KingLemming even away from your mod you are amazing.
First, what Summit pointed out.
Second, combinatorics. When you shove your energy into a Tesseract, its total gets multiplied by .75 to get the total MJ output, and when you shove your energy through a Conduit system, its total gets multiplied by .95. Thus, going through both gets you 75%*95%=71.25% of the original total, or a 28.75% loss.
I know it's confusing.
Let me explain the above concept in laymans terms: The tesseract gets 100 mj, and spits out 75 mj. The conduit hooked up to the tesseract gets 75 mj, and spits out 71.25 mj at the end of its line. The loss is deducted from what it gets, not what it was originally given

Listen to Whovian and King Lemming. It is an initial 25% unless you went in and changed your config files.
For one you quoted Whovian not me.
For second, people said exactly that above, but thanks.
This is changing in the near future.
Dude someone call an OP this dude needs the forum title "Da Boss"
