Energetic Infuser

Flux knows no bounds, so watch your hands.

The Energetic Infuser is one of the Machines added by Thermal Expansion. It uses Redstone Flux to charge compatible items. Using this Machine is one of the best ways to charge RF-powered tools and armor, as it is easy to automate and doesn't rely on users hurting themselves.

Crafting

• Machine Frame (any tier)
• Redstone Reception Coil
• 2x Copper Gear
• 2x Redstone Transmission Coil
• Leadstone Energy Cell Frame

Power

When working at maximum speed, the Energetic Infuser charges items at 8000 RF per tick. This rate may however be limited by items that are being charged. When the Infuser's internal energy storage is starting to deplete, item charging will gradually slow down.

GUI

1. Input Slot

Items placed in this slot are to be charged by the Infuser.

2. Processing Slot

Items cannot be manually placed in this slot. When starting to charge an item, the Infuser moves it from the input slot to this slot. It then remains here until it is fully charged. After that, the item is moved to the output slot, if possible.

3. Output Slot

Fully charged items end up in this slot.

4. Progress Gauge

Displays the progress of the item currently being charged. If Not Enough Items is installed, the arrow can be clicked to look up the Infuser's recipes (if any are registered).

5. Energy Gauge

Displays how much Redstone Flux is currently stored in the Infuser.

6. Charging Slot

Items that store Redstone Flux that are placed here are discharged by the Infuser to charge itself.

7. Energy Tab

Displays how much power the Infuser uses, and how much Redstone Flux is currently stored in it.

8. Information Tab

Displays a bit of information about the Infuser.

9. Tutorial Tab

Explains various things about the Infuser and the other tabs in the GUI.

10. Augmentation Tab

Allows installing Augments in the Machine.

11. Security Tab

Allows setting who is allowed to access the Infuser. Only available if a Signalum Security Lock is installed.

12. Redstone Control Tab

Allows setting how the Infuser responds to Redstone signals. Only available if the Integrated Redstone Circuit Augment is installed.

13. Configuration Tab

Allows configuring the input/output behavior of the sides of the Infuser. Only available if the Integrated Modular Framework Augment is installed.

14. Player Inventory

The inventory and hotbar of the player that is accessing the Infuser.

Input/Output

The different sides of the Energetic Infuser correspond to different color-coded slots in its GUI. These sides can be identified by color-coded openings in the sides of the Infuser. This is used for handling input and output with ducts/pipes/conduits/tubes, other Machines and other types of inventories.

If the Integrated Modular Framework Augment is installed, this feature of the Infuser can be configured. Some things can be inserted from any side.

If the Integrated Servo Mechanism Augment is installed, output items are automatically ejected from the corresponding sides of the Infuser, evenly divided between the available outputs.

If the Integrated Hopper Apparatus Augment is installed, input items are automatically pulled into the Infuser from adjacent inventories at the corresponding sides.
