Power P2P Tunnel Guide
Power P2P is currently the only way to transmit arbitrary power amounts interdimensionally (using a Quantum Bridge), and is useful even inside your base. P2P tunnels are 1-input-to-N-outputs.
In order to transfer power through an AE2 P2P tunnel:
- Put one P2P tunnel on your capacitorbank or whatever input end you want.
- Connect it to the ME network.
- Wrench it with a Crescent Hammer to make it turn to FE (this is why only the ME type is craftable - it can turn into the other types).
- Shift+rightclick with a memory card to copy settings to the card. Never overwrite this card - you will configure all your power P2P’s with it.
These 4 steps you only do once per input tunnel. To connect a new output to your input:
- Slap the tunnel on your CEF or whatever.
- Connect it to the ME network.
- Wrench it with a Crescent Hammer to make it turn to FE
- Rightclick (no shift!) the tunnel with the card you configured to bind it to the same channel.
That’s it. Infinite* energy transfer, with only a 5% tax**.
*The transfer is limited by what your input can transmit through a single face, basically. For big vibrant bank multiblocks, it can easily be a million RF/t or much more.
**The tax is drained from the AE’s power, and the acceptors only take in energy every few seconds - so you’ll need a bunch of dense energy cells to transfer all your power this way.
