Energy in SG2 is the main innovation. However, it will be quite difficult to use it if you do not use the wires through which this energy will flow from the source to the consumer (mechanism). In Industrial Craft 2, wires play an important role - they are the only ones that can carry electricity. Of course, you can connect a separate voltage source to each block, but in this case it will not be possible to power several blocks from one source.
Unlike reality, wires in minecraft differ in that the energy they transmit depends on the ease of extraction of the material. The easiest material to mine is tin, and the most difficult is diamond, but high voltage is transmitted through iron wires. Let's analyze all types of wires added in the IK2 mod.
1. Tin wires
This is the easiest wire. It can carry out no more than 5 eE / p.
At the same time, there are losses: no more than 1 eE for every 40 blocks. Best used in crafting or for connecting to Industrial Craft 2 solar panels with watermills.
2. Copper wires
A more powerful type of wire. The voltage cannot exceed 32 EU/p.
And the losses will be: 1eE every 3.33 block if there is no insulation; and if it is still available, then 1eE every 5th block.
A good choice for a conventional generator, or for a geothermal one.
3. Gold wires
More powerful wires are gold wires. The maximum voltage cannot exceed 128 EU/p.
In this case, the losses are: 1eE for every 2/2.22/2.5 block, the better the insulation, the farther the energy can pass without loss.
They are convenient for use in MFE, as well as in nuclear reactor designs.
4. Fiberglass
To get 6 of these wires, you need to use silver, any existing mod can work for this.
These wires are capable of carrying 512 EU/p.
In this case, there will be the following losses: 1 eE every 40 blocks.
Very expensive, but also quite effective varieties of wires. They can be used in any device, in addition, they have the lowest energy loss.
5. HV wires
Well, finally we can move on to the most powerful wires. Which conduct a voltage of no more than 2048 eE / n, however, you can hardly get more energy, because in Industrial Craft 2 wires made of iron conduct the largest amount of energy.
Losses in this case are also significant: 1eE every 1/1.05/1.11/1.25 block (uninsulated, conventionally insulated and double insulated).
Contrary to popular belief, these wires are inefficient, because they have the highest losses, so fiberglass is the most convenient option.

In connection with the frequent undermining of farts of mechanisms, this instruction has been created for their connection.
The first thing to understand before using the mechanisms from IC2 is that they all generate or are powered by different voltages! And high or low voltage can bring the mechanism out of normal operation... In short, blow it up in SCHI, if it's easier for you. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to connect the mechanisms only to a certain voltage or lower the one that is already there. In IC2, voltage is measured in EU/t - units of energy per game tick (in one second under ideal conditions 20 game ticks).
It is conditionally possible to divide all mechanisms into several types:
Sources
Blocks generating energy for its further use. To remove energy, you must connect a wire or put a "consumer unit" close to the source. Energy is generated in the source and leaves it "under a certain voltage" or, more precisely, with a certain packet capacity.
Mechanism | Name | Ex. voltage EU/t | Ex. power EU/t |
---|---|---|---|
Generator | up to 32 | 10 | |
Geo.generator | up to 32 | 20 | |
hydro generator | up to 32 | 0 - 2 | |
wind generator | up to 32 | 0 - 5 | |
Nuclear reactor | Optional | Optional | |

Super SP (Ulta) | 512 | day 256 / night 32 | |
quantum generator | 0 - 32.000 | 0 - 32.000 |
energy savers
To store the accumulated energy, you need to use energy storage. Each energy storage has inputs and outputs. The output is marked with a dot, all other sides of the block are inputs.
Mechanism | Name | Entrance. e.g. EU/t | Ex. e.g. EU/t | Capacity EU/t |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bat box | up to 32 | 32 | 40.000 | |
MFE | up to 128 | 128 | 600.000 | |
ECHO | up to 512 | 512 | 10.000.000 |
Consumers
Consumers have their own restrictions on the "supply voltage". If a source with a high voltage is connected to the consumer, the consumer will explode! However, for some consumers it is possible to increase their maximum supply voltage! And specifically for the electric furnace, crusher, extractor and compressor, by installing a transformer upgrade in the slot on the right. Each upgrade increases the maximum supply voltage by 4 times. Those. two upgrades are enough for mains power of 512 EU/t.
Mechanism | Name | Max. voltage EU/t | +1 upgrade | +2 upgrades |
---|---|---|---|---|
electric furnace | 32 | 128 | 512 | |
Induction bake | 128 | no slot | no slot | |
Crusher | 32 | 128 | 512 | |
Extractor | 32 | 128 | 512 | |
Compressor | 32 | 128 | 512 | |
Filler | 32 | no slot | no slot | |
water pump | 32 | no slot | no slot | |
Gene. matter | 512 | no slot | no slot | |
ME Controller | >512 | no slot | no slot |
transformers
To supply mechanisms with increased voltage, if it is impossible to install upgrades, it is necessary to use step-down transformers. The transformer, by dividing large input packets into smaller ones, provides a 4-fold decrease in output voltage. When the maximum allowable voltage at the input is exceeded, the transformer EXPLODES. Observe the correct connection - the input of the transformer is marked with three dots, the output - all other sides of the block. For the transformer to work in step-up mode (vice versa) - you need to install a redstone next to it
Mechanism | Name | Input eg. EU/t | Output e.g. EU/t |
---|---|---|---|
LV transformer | up to 128 | 4 packs of 32 | |
CH transformer | up to 512 | 4 packs of 128 | |
HV transformer | until 2048 | 4 packs of 512 |
