[1.7.10] RF generation

[Sail338]

so i got the RF api and attempted to generate RF with this

public void updateEntity() {

if(!this.worldObj.isRemote) {
storage.setEnergyStored(storage.getEnergyStored() + 10); 

 

and then attmped to extract the rf with this

public int extractEnergy(ForgeDirection from, int maxExtract, boolean simulate) {

return storage.extractEnergy(maxExtract, simulate); 

 

but i am not getting any output. am i generating the RF properly

I am using Extra utilities Energy Node and when connected by itself it produces 0 rf/t

but when i connect an energy extraction thingy  and then connect a Node to the exraction pipe it does output rf.... how strange

anyone know why or what I am doing wrong
