Energy¶

Laser IO¶

Laser IO is a highly recommended option for wireless FE energy transmit, available pre-LV. Each Laser Node connection can transmit up to 1 million FE/tick, more than enough to last you until mid game and Flux Networks.

Create Wires¶

Create Wires are an incredibly cheap option for energy transmission, but have very low transfer speed. Create Wires come in different tiers, with transfer speed ranging from 1024 FE/tick for Copper Wires to 8096 FE/tick for Overcharged Diamond Wires. While viable in LV and MV, it is recommended to switch to Laser IO as soon as possible.

Pipez¶

Pipez Energy Pipes are technically available as an option, but are strongly recommended against due to their underwhelming transfer rates without upgrades, with Create Wires offering better speeds at a lower cost. The initial transfer rate is 256 FE/tick, but can thankfully be upgraded up to 131072 FE/tick, although the max tier upgrades are only available at EV.

P2P Energy¶

Applied Energistics 2's Energy P2P Tunnels are a space-efficient option offering virtually limitless energy transfer rates available late-MV to early-HV. P2P Tunnels come at a cost, however: transferring energy between P2P Tunnels incurs a 5% energy loss, so Flux Networks are generally preferred to P2P Energy after they are unlocked in EV.

Flux Networks¶

Flux Networks are an incredibly powerful wireless energy transfer (and storage) solution available in EV and gated by PTFE. Flux Nodes have exorbitant transfer rates(1) similar to P2P Tunnels, but don't have any additional energy draw, and are thus recommended as the main FE energy transfer option starting from EV until the very endgame.
