Wireless Energy Tap

1. Introduction

The Wireless Energy Tap is a portable item used to connect any machine to the wireless EU network. When the player right-clicks a GT machine with it, the corresponding link terminal cover (energy or power) is automatically attached, eliminating the need to craft covers manually. Supports Energy (energy link) and Power (power link) dual-mode switching, with dynamic textures reflecting the current mode.

• Portable item, connects any machine to the wireless EU network
• Shift + Right-click to switch Energy / Power modes
• Right-click a machine to auto-attach the corresponding cover
• Dynamic texture reflects current mode (Energy yellow / Power purple)
• Binding a Laser Source/Target Hatch consumes 1 Laser Vacuum Pipe

2. Crafting Recipe

Craft in a crafting table using the following 3×3 matrix:

Slot	Col 1	Col 2	Col 3
Row 1	LV Emitter	Steel Plate	LV Emitter
Row 2	Steel Screw	Screen Cover	Steel Screw
Row 3	LV Emitter	Steel Plate	LV Emitter

Materials: LV Emitter ×4 + Steel Plate ×2 + Screen Cover ×1 + Steel Screw ×2

Recipe layout: Four corners are LV Emitters, top-middle and bottom-middle are Steel Plates, middle-left and middle-right are Steel Screws, center is Screen Cover.

3. Mode Switching

The Wireless Energy Tap supports 2 modes, switched via Shift + Right-click:

Mode	Name	Function	Grid Line Color
Energy	Energy Link	Draws energy from the wireless grid to power the machine	Yellow grid lines
Power	Power Link	Outputs machine-generated energy to the wireless grid	Purple grid lines

• Switch method: Shift + Right-click (on a block or in air)
• Texture feedback: Item texture updates immediately after switching to reflect the current mode

4. Grid Highlight

When the Tap points at a GT machine (ICoverable), a 3×3 grid highlight is drawn, mimicking GT wrench/cover tool behavior:

Mode	Color (RGB)	Alpha	Description
Energy	RGB(255, 213, 0) Yellow	160	Energy link mode grid lines
Power	RGB(170, 51, 255) Purple	160	Power link mode grid lines

Line width calculation: Line width = 2.0 × displayHeight / 1080, auto-scaling based on screen resolution.

5. Key Parameters

Parameter	Value	Description
Anti-repeat interval	4 ticks (~200ms)	INTERVAL_TICKS = 4L, prevents repeated attachment to the same machine within a short time
Bind notification	First 10 times	MAX_BIND_NOTIFY = 10, bind success notification shows at most 10 times then stops
Default amperage logic	Force 2A when input amp ≤ 1	Prevents single-ampere machines from malfunctioning
Voltage fallback	Use output voltage when input V ≤ 0	Compatible with generator-type machines (no input voltage)
Arc furnace 4A special case	4A	Identified via RecipeMaps.arcFurnaceRecipes, forced 4 amperes

6. Cover Attachment

When right-clicking a GT machine, the Tap auto-detects voltage/amperage/capacity and attaches the corresponding cover:

• Auto-detection: Reads the machine's input voltage, input amperage, and capacity
• Energy mode: Attaches Link Terminal (Energy) cover, configures V / A / capacity
• Power mode: Attaches Link Terminal (Power) cover
• Capacity formula: V × A × 800 ticks

Grid binding: Binds to the machine owner's (ownerUUID) grid. Prompts to confirm team sharing — team members' machines will connect to the same grid.

7. Usage Guide

1. Step 1: Craft the Wireless Energy Tap
2. Step 2: Shift + Right-click to switch to the target mode (Energy draw / Power output)
3. Step 3: Right-click a GT machine to auto-attach the corresponding cover (on the side facing the player)
4. Step 4: The machine starts drawing power from the grid (Energy) or sending power to the grid (Power)
5. Step 5: Right-click the attached cover to view configuration info

8. NBT Data

Item NBT fields of the Wireless Energy Tap:

Field	Type	Description
OutputMode	boolean	Current mode (false = Energy / true = Power)
LastUseTime	long	Last use timestamp, used for anti-repeat interval check
BindNotifyCount	int	Bind notification count, stops notifying after reaching MAX_BIND_NOTIFY (10)
