Alternating Flux adds a long-distance, low-loss "super high voltage" power tier to Immersive Engineering, built for hauling power across large distances.
Immersive Engineering's HV wires top out at short distances — you end up placing relays every 32 blocks. Alternating Flux (AF) fixes that:
- Long range — AF wires reach up to 96 blocks per span (configurable)
- Low loss — far less power lost over distance than standard wires
- High throughput — 131,072 IF/t (4x modern HV)
- Transmission only — AF can't power machines directly; you step down to HV through an AF Transformer, just like a real substation
Think of it as the transmission backbone of your grid: bulk power across distance on AF lines, stepped down to HV/MV/LV to actually use.
HOW TO USE
- Craft Constantan Wire, then an AF Wire Coil.
- Place AF Wire Relays as your towers and string AF coil between them.
- Build an AF Transformer — HV on the low side, AF on the high side. Converts 1:1.
- At the far end, another AF Transformer steps it back down to HV for your machines.
REQUIRES Immersive Engineering. Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge.
This is a BETA — tested on a live server but still shaking out edge cases. Please report any bugs!
