About the overclock in one-block machine

On that note, I’m also confused by the way amperage works:

  • x1 128EU/t is not enough for 256EU/t recipe in T2 machine (that’s totally understandable)
  • x2 128EU/t is enough for 256EU/t recipe in T2 machine (that’s totally fine too)
  • x8 128EU/t is not enough (?) for 406EU/t recipe in T3 machine (why?)

I suppose that machine requires >= 256EU/t input per amper, but that begs some notes:

  • machine can combine x2 128EU/t into x1 256EU/t, so it’s a little weird that it can’t combine x8 128EU/t into HV range (but that is totally explainable by game mechanics thingies)
  • Electrometer (one of the only tools we can use to analyze electricity flows) does not differentiate between single-amper and multi-amper wires, showing only the sum of all the voltage

So, while locking higher tiers with input per amper is totally fine, it’s still a bit counterintuitive if we’re to base our expectations on the Electrometer’s output.
