Energy Collectors and Relays
Applies to Equivalent Legacy 1.1.0+ for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge).
Energy Collectors generate EMC from light. Anti-Matter Relays store and forward it. Together they are the backbone of any EMC farm.
Collectors come in three tiers:
- MK1: slowest generation, 10,000 EMC storage, 8 input slots.
- MK2: about three times the rate, 30,000 storage, 12 input slots.
- MK3: fastest, 60,000 storage, 16 input slots.
Relays also come in three tiers, with much larger buffers and transfer rates:
- MK1: 100,000 storage.
- MK2: 1,000,000 storage.
- MK3: 10,000,000 storage.
How to use a Collector
- Place it where it can see the sky. In this version collectors only generate from sunlight, and they generate at a quarter of the classic rate.
- Right-click to open it. The top slot takes a Klein Star (to charge it) or a fuel (to upgrade it).
- Put fuel in the input grid and the collector will turn it into the next fuel tier using its stored EMC.
- The ghost slot sets the upgrade target; click it to clear.
- When the top slot is empty and the buffer has EMC, the collector pushes it to every neighbouring block that accepts EMC.
How to use a Relay
- Right-click to open it. The burn slot destroys items (or drains a Klein Star) for EMC; the charge slot fills a Klein Star.
- Every tick the relay sends its stored EMC to all non-relay neighbours. Relays never pass EMC to each other, so always chain collector to relay to consumer.
- A collector standing next to a relay gives that relay a small bonus every tick, on top of the EMC it sends.
Hidden abilities
- Collectors generate only from sunlight, and the Nether no longer counts as full light.
- Automation: collectors accept fuel from their sides and output the upgraded fuel from top/bottom. Relays accept items from the sides and only release a Klein Star from top/bottom once it is completely full.
- Fuel can be upgraded by the collector itself, so a chest of coal slowly becomes Alchemical Coal, Mobius Fuel and Aeternalis Fuel while you are away.
- Every EMC block sends its buffer out evenly between all neighbours that accept EMC, so avoid wiring one source into many competing consumers.
Server settings: generation is scaled by balance.emc.generationMultiplier (0.25 by default), sunlight-only by balance.collectors.sunOnly, and the whole economy by balance.emc.enabled.
