Is there an existing mod that adds an entity that will use a specified amount of power? for testing power plant setups.

when I was testing my mod, (in 0.14) I simply charged an (array of) accumulator(s).

but the reason why I was doing this was to see how much electricity a specific setup generated from a piece of coal (To make sure I didn't get more than 100% of that value out)

it helped me figure out the math.

Or use Creative Mode! There are 5 energy entities you can play with, including the electric energy interface, plus 2 energy transfer entities. :)
