Is there a bug right now with the canning machine in mindcrack? I hooked it up to my EU power, put some cooked steak in the top and cans in the bottom and I'm getting nothing. I also tried cells instead of cans and various other types of food. I've got an extractor and compressor on the same EU line and those work fine so I'm sure it's getting power.

You ARE using the Tin Can made from 5 tin shaped like a minecart (gets 4 cans) correct? Not the 3 tin to 10 cans, that's Forestry liquid cans. You might need more cans, too. (Steak requires 4 cans per steak)

I can only conclude that there's no power going into it then, the cable is probably connected to the wrong side of the Batbox. I just tried powering all 6 sides in turn in a creative world and I can't get it to fail (except when it exploded due to MFE voltage). If I'm wrong, about trying replacing it with a different machine to see if ou have some weird Canning Machine bug?

I'm not sure if this applies to the Canning Machine - but I thought there was another machine out there that "doesn't like wires" - so the only way to power it is to give it its own batbox with the output right against the machine.

You could try that and see what happens.

My problem might be my can recipe. I was def getting power to mine (the lightning bolt was red). I tried a couple different recipes for cans but dont think I tried that minecart one.
