This better indicates power issue with dynamic consumption like
extracting/inserting items into a network. E.g. the terminals will
shutdown, no light/channel/etc indicators.
Due to the networks trying to extract from the largest possible energy
storage first, the network buffer will be used as last option after
energy cells or controllers.
Potentially needs evaluation in case of adhoc networks with a high
transfer rate locally. Increasing the local buffer might be an idea or
have it scale with the amount of local gridnodes. As long as it does not
invalidates energy cells.
* Adds a debug generator for ForgeEnergy.
This adds a simple debug block to test external energy injection via
ForgeEnergy and not rely solely on creative cells.
The energy has two functions. The first is acting as an infinite
ForgEnergy battery, this is unused by AE2 itself as nothing pulls
energy.
The second one is injecting energy every tick into any adjacent block
accepting ForgeEnergy.
The base generation is 8 per tick, but this is increased by the power of
adjacent TileEnergyGenerators.
* Further improvments for the enerygrid.
Simplified quartz fiber.
Removed different Actionable code paths and replaced with a unified
approach.
Dropped lastProvider/Requester, it simply iterates over all, but still
drops them when necessary.
There is currently no difference between an external grid and the local
machines trying to extract power from the grid. Thus preventing any
external grid from stealing power also does prevent machines from
extracting, if there is no other provider available.
Also a small change to use a priorityqueue with the lowest percentage
stored first. This can better utilize the upper limit by reaching it
faster and exiting earlier.
* Performance improvements for the energygrid
Reworked the old recursive approach to a queue based loop.
Extract will try to prefer the next grid with the hightest amount of
stored energy.
Inject will try to prefer the grid with the lowest percentage stored.
Other operations are first come, first serve.
* Added a local buffer storage to EnergyGrid
This replaces the old not really working buffer with a special
IAEPowerStorage acting as buffer/proxy for the local energy demand as
well as temporary overflow should something provide more energy than
requested.
Currently it set to hold a maximum of 200 AE (+ optional overflow until
consumed). It will only be used locally, no other grid can use it to
avoid starving the neighbor grids before finding a energy cell.
* Fixes IExternalPowerSink
All implementations currently depend on the network demand being a valid
source, which might not be true.
Further it can cause the sink to iterate the network twice (demand and
inject) and both again for simulate and modulate.
Also it did not return the actual leftover amount instead of relying on
the demand matching it.
* Minor fixes related to removing nodes from a grid.
The grid did remove IStackWatcherHost not IEnergyWatcherHost, this was
fine for AE2 as only level emitters use it and they implement both.
But not for potential addons.
Also they would potentually not being removed as the are indexed by the
gridnodes not the machine.
Fixes#1004
Reduces the visibility of all fields to private and create setters/getters
when necessary. Exceptions are fields with GuiSync as these need to be
public.
Reduces the visibility of internal methods to private/protected/default when possible.
