Occassionally I'll notice that the output side (a gold IC2 cable) has disconnected.  It almost seems like the block has forgotten which side was the output.\r\n\r\nSo far only noticed in server play (haven't tested in single player)\r\n\r\nCan be worked around (usually) by logging out and back in a few times until it reconnects.\r\n\r\nThe block itself is a tiny bit wonky: can we provide the option to explicitly specify what end is the input vs output?

It's impossible for an Energy Storage Cluster to \"forget\" which side is the output, that's fixed in orientation to how the block is placed.\r\n\r\nIt also sounds like it may be a purely visual issue - so even if it \"looks\" disconnected on the client, it may in fact be transmitting energy OK on the server?\r\n\r\nPlease do post up a screenshot the next time you see this.\r\n\r\nOn the GC block, the dots are different colours, red for output, green for input.  It's the same on the Energy Storage Module and has been this way since GC1.  I apologise, we have not taken into account the difficulty that using red+green dots can cause for colour-blind players, although to be fair all players are in the same situation after wires are connected, because the wires cover the dots.\r\n\r\nHopefully this will help:\r\n* when you first place down the Energy Storage Cluster, the left side is the output, the right side is the input\r\n* each time you wrench it once, it will rotate clockwise 90 degrees (viewed from above)\r\n* so, wrench it once, the output is at the back, the input is at the front."}}
