Description

Chargepad is an IndustrialCraft 2 block that charges the electric items of a player who stands on top, and the recipe needs one energy storage unit. Storage, input, and output match the storage unit, while the GUI has no slots for easy access to equipped armor. Four versions exist, one per storage unit: BatBox takes and emits 32 EU/t and stores 40 000 EU, CESU handles 128 EU/t and 300 000 EU, MFE handles 512 EU/t and 4 000 000 EU, and MFSU handles 2048 EU/t and 40 000 000 EU (EU/t means energy units per tick, and one tick lasts 1/20 of a second).

Chargepad charges items at the output rate of the storage unit, and only items of the matching tier, so a BatBox Chargepad does not charge a Mining Laser. Items charge only while worn in an armor slot or held in the player's hand: an MFE Chargepad charges a worn Electric Jetpack and a held Diamond Drill together at 512 EU/t. A Chargepad tops up several electric items at once, with no need to open a storage unit GUI.

Guide

How to craft and use a Chargepad in Minecraft

  1. 1

    Choose a storage unit

    The chosen BatBox, CESU, MFE, or MFSU sets the input, output, and storage values of the finished Chargepad.

  2. 2

    Craft the Chargepad

    The recipe takes two Electronic Circuits, one Stone Pressure Plate, two Rubber, and the storage unit: Electronic Circuit, Stone Pressure Plate, and Electronic Circuit form a row directly above Rubber, the storage unit, and Rubber.

  3. 3

    Supply energy

    The placed Chargepad accepts energy at the input rate of its storage unit, for example 128 EU/t for the CESU version.

  4. 4

    Stand on top

    The player stands on top of the Chargepad while holding an electric tool or wearing electric armor, and charging starts.

Switching items stops charging

Switching the held item or removing the Electric Jetpack from the armor slot stops charging for the affected items.
