The ''MultiFunctionalElectric Transmitter'' is necessary for any big industrial workspace using cables and current. Why? Let me tell you of the amazing number of uses:


First of all, it can link up multiple lanes into a single one. How to do that? Any cable linked to the ''MFE'' will transmit energy into it. However, the ''MFE'' itself will as well '''EMIT''' energy. Only on it's top and botton, though.
Any cable linked to the side faces of the ''MFE'' will transmit energy into it. The ''MFE'' itself will as well '''EMIT''' energy, through the top and bottom faces.


This means, you can effectively wire in up to '''FOUR''' cables, all charging the ''MFE'', which can then power a single cable with full force. Amamamazing!
Even more, the ''MFE'' contains an integrated '''ENERGY STORAGE'''. Yes, that's right, it can effectively contain an amount of energy, comparable to '''6 [[RE_Battery|RE BATTERIES]]'''.
Even more, the ''MFE'' contains an integrated '''ENERGY STORAGE'''. Yes,that's right, it can effectively contain an amount of energy, compareable to '''MULTIPLE [[RE_Battery|RE BATTERIES]]'''.
The ''MFE'' will often not emit power if no power is requested of it (for instance, if it is just linked to a machine). However, it is possible to stop the ''MFE'' from emitting energy at all by powering it with redstone.
How to fill this storage if the ''MFE'' is emitting energy constantly, you ask? Just link it with some redstone. Redstone will act as trigger and upon applied, will cause the ''MFE'' to stop emitting electric current.


But even better, for the unbelieveable case you managed to '''FULLY LOAD''' the ''MFE'', it will emit current, regardless of placed redstone. This was done for the sake of preventing energy from getting wasted in uebercharged ''MFE'' 's.
But even better: for the unbelievable case you managed to '''FULLY LOAD''' the ''MFE'', it will emit energy (ignoring redstone signals). This was done for the sake of preventing energy from getting wasted in uebercharged ''MFE'' 's.


Last but not least, the ''MFE'' can act as an energy up- & download station in vast networks. You can easyly pop an empty battery in the upper slot and (given the ''MFE'' has enough energy in store) it will be charged '''IN MERE SECONDS'''. As well, you can put charged Batterys into the lower slot to decharge the battery and load up the ''MFE'' 's storage.

This device can do it. Everything.

The MultiFunctionalElectric Transmitter is necessary for any big industrial workspace using cables and current. Why? Let me tell you of the amazing number of uses:

Any cable linked to the side faces of the MFE will transmit energy into it. The MFE itself will as well EMIT energy, through the top and bottom faces.

Even more, the MFE contains an integrated ENERGY STORAGE. Yes, that's right, it can effectively contain an amount of energy, comparable to 6 RE BATTERIES. The MFE will often not emit power if no power is requested of it (for instance, if it is just linked to a machine). However, it is possible to stop the MFE from emitting energy at all by powering it with redstone.

But even better: for the unbelievable case you managed to FULLY LOAD the MFE, it will emit energy (ignoring redstone signals). This was done for the sake of preventing energy from getting wasted in uebercharged MFE 's.

Last but not least, the MFE can act as an energy up- & download station in vast networks. You can pop an empty battery in the upper slot and (given the MFE has enough energy in store) it will become charged IN MERE SECONDS. As well, you can put charged batteries into the lower slot to load up the MFE 's storage. That's technology, isn't it, HAYO!

Energy[edit]

Storage: 60,000 EU

Output: 32 EU/s by default, can be changed from 1 EU/s to 64 EU/s with an EC Manipulator

Known Bugs[edit]

The MFE Transmitter is known to misreport its current and maximum charge in multiplayer.

The maximum charge is misreported as 3,000,000 by the interface, although the device itself maintains the correct capacity of 60,000 EU.

The red bar illustrating percentage charge, due to the over-large maximum value shown by the interface, always appears empty.
