Collector MK2

The Collector MK2 is the second tier of Energy Collectors from Equivalent Exchange 2. It is used to convert light to EMC, and upgrade fuels (see Usage). If it is not upgrading fuels, it will export its EMC to an adjacent device, such as an Energy Condenser or Anti-Matter Relay. It can be upgraded into the Collector MK3.

The Energy Collector is not limited to sunlight. It has an EMC value of 232,969, can store 30,000, and will create 12 per second at maximum efficiency.

Usage
The GUI has 15 slots. The twelve (12) left slots are a buffer for fuels to be upgraded. The lower right slot is the fuel being upgraded at that time. The far right slot is the upgrade cap; the item that is placed in it is the maximum tier fuel that the buffer items will be upgraded to, in the following order: Charcoal to Redstone to Coal to Gunpowder to Glowstone Dust to Alchemical Coal to Blaze Powder to Glowstone to Mobius Fuel to Aeternalis Fuel, then the cycle restarts. It will not send power if it is upgrading fuel.

The small right square shows the light level. The light level will determine the Energy Collector's efficiency. It will run at X/16 efficiency depending on the light level (2 light level will be 2/16 efficiency, 3 light level will be 3/16, etc.).
