Hello, my name is Weasels, got a quick question that I've been needing to ask. I have an email program for my server which runs like the following: Client side and the email console (server).
As far as I've seen, the max distance computers can be from each other to receive emails is about 50 blocks. Is there any way I can increase this number? Or would I have to make a computer every 50 blocks to reach to the main server computer?

A computer's wireless range is dependent on it's current altitude. At sea level it's like 128 blocks i think. The higher up it's located, the longer the range. This can be configured in the mod's config file however.

At or below y = 96, the default range is 64 blocks. From there, it increases in a linear fashion as one goes upward, to the default maximum of 384 blocks at sky limit.

96, really? The wiki could use some updating
If there is no thunderstorm, the range will always be higher than 64.

It's worth noting that when determining whether two systems can send to / receive from each other, only the system with the best range is checked.

Yes but what about the limits? If you type in 0, does it count as infinite

If you are playing on a server where you cannot edit the wireless range, you can make several computers that will re-rout the signal if you wish. If you configure each one separately, then it shouldn't be too hard to do.
