Energy Provider Behavior

An Energy Provider provides energy to the Energy Receivers in its network. An Energy Provider can also be an Energy Receiver. An Energy Provider can only provide energy to an Energy provider that is in the same dimension and is at most 64 blocks away.

Network Chip

The Network Chip is used to create and manipulate networks. To add an Energy Receiver to a network, right-click it with the network's Network Chip. To add an Energy Provider to a network, right-click it with the Network Chip, the Network Chip will be removed from your inventory. If a block is both an Energy Receiver and an Energy Provider, shift-right-click it to add it as an Energy Receiver to the network, and right-click it to add it as an Energy Provider to the network. To duplicate a Network Chip combine it with a Circuit Board in a crafting area.

Switch

The Switch block is used to selectively activate different devices. It is an Energy Provider and an Energy Receiver. If it is receiving a Redstone signal it will propagate all the Energy Receivers in its sub-network to the Energy Providers in its main-network.
