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.


mhh yea lets see^^

Wiring Tutorial Picture Download Speed[edit]

You might have noticed the pictures on this page download somewhat (yawn.......) slowly. I first thought they where way too big, but downloaded one to my computer and it was only ~700 KB's. Not sure if that is still large for the Interwebs, or if your server here is just giving you a small amount of bandwidth for images.

Just wanted to bring this up because you might be able to get away with smaller file sizes for your images, thus speeding up browsing and saving you bandwidth (in case you have a limit, or pay as you go for data).

BUT many many many thanks for finally having the wiring images up on a stable server :D!


well, thought square7.ch could hold up a few more users and so on... but it fails hard and sometimes wiki is down :( May we need a "real" webspace and no freehoster :S I will see^^

Hey Shiding here, I made a small information vid about the IC2 Wiring on youtube, in the description stands the EU loss/blocks and some usefull tips :D search LordShidinf and you'll find it :D
