Done Glass Fiber Cables IC2

After seeing Quantum Solar Panels maxing out and not sending power, I've been working on the cabling and the configuration (setup) of the Panels and have come to noticed that the 8,192 EU/T cap has now been implemented to the Glass Fiber Cables. It use to be Infinite EU with no cap restriction. Any news on when the change happened cause nothing is showing in the Changed Logs section.

Thank you,

It is defaulted at "Insane Voltage" 8192 EU/t this is according to the IC2 wiki so it isn't something we have changed. Glass Fibre Cable - Industrial-Craft-Wiki

 

They use to send unlimited power on the server with no cap. Use to be able to have 64 Quantum Solar Panels connected to Glass Fibers and they would all drain but now they are filling with EU.

 

I don't believe the cabling was an issue as I had done extensive testing in the past with setups with little problem. The only time I found it to have issues was when people went way overboard with their setups and had hundreds of everything. I found there WAS a limit to how much you could operate with before causing preformance issues but that limit was high and obsurd for someone to do. Although we have found that some players did choose to go a little over the top with the amount of production they had running at once, mainly the extreme amount of mass fabricators being run at once. I used to have a chunk of solar panels running 24/7 for months on end with zero preformance problems. My suggestion would be for this to have some further testing be done on it to find a better solution. I feel like limiting the power could cause people to make more extreme setups with complex networks of cabling and machines doing twice as much work as before. Perhaps I'm looking at it wrong but that's the way I'd see it happening.

 

Also on a note the Glass Fiber Cables "turn off" and transfer 0 EU. None of my machines are working and they are all connected with Glass Fiber Cables. Dr_Moo and DerEchteGangster came over and looked and saw the issue first hand aswell.

 

For the last couple years on most (or all?) of the 1.7.10 servers the glass fiber cables had unlimited transfer rate even though the tooltip says 8192. This was always being explained on the MyM network as a known bug with the version of IC2 being used.

 

glass fibre was unlimited (except on tekkit classic where it could only be transferred 40ish blocks before needing a mfsu or something) but then i think when extreme voltage got introduced you had to use the super insulated hv cable i cant remember though. (also its best to keep your cables on a high voltage because it transferre more power quicker to other machenes)
