First, Cables do not act like redstone, you can not place them diagonally to travel in a stair formation. They must be placed Orthogonally.

I vote to change this to:

First, Cables do not act like redstone, you cannot place them diagonally to travel in a stair formation as they will no automatically connect. You must place cable so that it always connects to other cable to transmit along it.


Starting simple this is the most basic set up without omitting the MFE Transmitter. The max Cable length is achieved here. The cable is 6 long then the receiver is counted as the last hence 7 long. Loss is calculated at every 5 length, but you are given a buffer of 2 for the first segment. You lose 1 EU at every lenght that is too long.

I vote to change this to:

This is the most basic setup: The max Cable length without loss is 9 pieces of cable, with the MFE Transmitter where the 10th piece would go. Energy loss happens when you go over 9 cable lengths. At that point, you lose 1 energy for every 3 more cable you place down. That is, at 10 cable, -1 EU; at 13 cable, -2 EU; at 16 cable, -3 EU; etc...


MFE's will output from the top by default, not the bottom.
