Redstone Flux

Redstone Flux is a form of energy that was released with Thermal Expansion 3. It is designed to be very simple to use and low on server impact.

It is an API and thus many mods can use it to power their own machines, for example, Ender IO, MineFactory Reloaded, and Extra Utilities.

The official 1.7 FTB modpacks will be based on RF.

Description
RF is currently the power system that many mods use since it provides several advantages:
 * It is almost lossless.
 * It is low on server impact.
 * RF is automatically converted to MJ when a conduit is connected to a MJ machine. Be aware that MJ cannot be converted back to RF. The conversion ratios for RF are 10 RF = 1 MJ and 4 RF = 1 EU

Transport
There are a couple of different ways to transport RF:
 * Thermal Expansion conduits (leadstone, hardened, and redstone)
 * EnderIO conduits
 * Extra Utilities energy transfer nodes

Usage
RF is fully compatible with machines from the following mods:


 * Thermal Expansion
 * Minefactory Reloaded
 * Extra Utilities (Ender-Thermic Pump and Ender Quarry)
 * EnderIO
 * Any mod that can use Minecraft Joules (MJ)

Production
Here are some mods that provide ways to generate RF:


 * Extra Utilities: Generators
 * Thermal expansion: Dynamos
 * Big Reactors: Reactors and turbines
