ERS - Network Extend Pack
Expand your power grid beyond physical limits.
This add-on for [b]Energy Routing System (ERS)[/b] introduces a new infrastructure element: the [b]Network Extend[/b], a relay device designed to extend your electrical network across long distances without altering its core behavior.
[hr]
What does it do?
The Network Extend acts as a [b]pure relay node[/b]:
[list]
[*] Extends connection range between devices and the Energy Controller
[*] Allows remote placement of generators (solar, wind, hydro)
[*] Enables distributed setups outside your base
[*] Maintains full compatibility with ERS systems
[/list]
[hr]
How it works
[list]
[*] The Network Extend does [b]not[/b] generate or store energy
[*] It does [b]not[/b] modify capacity or limits
[*] It simply relays connections through the network
[*] All energy calculations remain handled by the [b]Energy Controller[/b]
[/list]
Your network becomes:
Producers → Network Extend → Energy Controller
[hr]
Important Notes
[list]
[*] Device limits are [b]global per controller[/b]
[*] Connections through Network Extend count toward the same limit as direct connections
[*] The node does not act as a secondary controller
[*] Batteries must still be connected directly to the controller
[/list]
[hr]
Design Philosophy
This pack follows the core ERS principles:
[list]
[*] Centralized logic (controller-driven)
[*] No artificial capacity inflation
[*] No hidden energy generation
[*] Clean, predictable multiplayer behavior
[/list]
The Network Extend does not make your system stronger — it makes it [b]possible[/b].
[hr]
Use Cases
[list]
[*] Solar fields far from your base
[*] Wind turbines placed in open terrain
[*] Hydraulic setups near water sources
[*] Distributed infrastructure across large areas
[/list]
[hr]
Multiplayer
[list]
[*] Server-authoritative system
[*] No client-side energy calculations
[*] Stable synchronization across chunks and relogs
[/list]
[hr]
Requirements
[list]
[*] [b]Energy Routing System (ERS)[/b]
[/list]
[hr]
Future Plans
[list]
[*] Advanced network tools
[*] Additional extender variants
[*] Expanded infrastructure options
[/list]
[i]"The node does not add power. It connects what is out of reach."[/i]
