Skyfactory 4 is the first time I've played with the Mekanism mod, and for the life of me I cannot find any sort of energy transfer pipes/wires/cables. It seems there's supposed to be "Universal Cables" in mekanism, but I can't craft them. Were they removed/disabled in this mod pack?
They are disabled. You can use ones from cyclic/xnet early game.
Or flux ducts from thermal for power

I want to re-enable Mekanism cables. It looks like they were meant to be re-enabled, but I’m not seeing them. I found instructions elsewhere on Reddit where editing a file in the Skyfactory 4 game folder will re-enable them.
My question is, if I am playing on someone else’s server, will that still work? Or is that file I need to edit hosted on the server?
Been playing for a bit on a SF4 server my brother started and we're just kinda getting into powering things and automation and I realised there's no mekanism cables to power multiple things off of one energy source or item pipes to transfer things between inventories.
Am I just missing where they are? Or is there another mod that does the same job as those?
Edit : Solution Found, Look comment :)
Hey, after some research I saw that in skyfactory 4 the Universal cables of Mekanism had been deactivated, but while searching I also saw that the devs are supposed to have them reactivatedSource : https://github.com/DarkPacks/SkyFactory-4/pull/1790
The post is quite old, so the patch is supposed to have been done, but I don't have anything in my modpack, Do you know why ? And do you know how I can reactivate them myself? Thanks in advance !
Title says it all, I don't want to use the cyclic stuff and find it really annoying that Mekanism's stuff was removed. Anyone know how to re-enable them?
I'm mainly looking for the Mekanism cabling because I'm more familiar with that but in general why is half of the mod missing?
What are the best cables in SF4? I've been using leads tone flux ducts but it seems they don't do as well as the cyclic energy cables. Can someone link me to a chart or fill me in on most efficient?
Upgrade your fluxducts. The next tier is hardened (just costs a bit of Invar, which is an iron-nickel alloy), followed by redstone energy, signalum, resonant, and then cryo-stabilized (which literally has no transfer limit). Look the recipes up in JEI
There’s also the mekanism universal cables, though I’ve heard using too many of those can cause lag. Don’t know what “too many” means though, just what a friend told me
Most of them show the amount they can transfer in the tooltip. In that pack, it will probably be the Universal cables from Mekanism.
I can't find where in the config they're disabled.
In SF4.
