So, I finally built my fusion reactor. 100% legit. I have the reactor, 24 fusion coils, 4 supercondensators, 16 high voltage transformers, and 3 IESUs (1 for input, 2 for output) all ready to take the super load of power from the superconductors. I built an automated loading system that feeds 14 helium-3 and 14 deuterium cells into their respective slots, generating just under 1 billion eu. We use that much energy at the base every 24 hours or so.

I finally get the chance to turn it on. The feeding system is working properly, I have the equipment to manage the huge amounts of energy produced by this monster, I've even fed it 10,000,000 EU to get it jump started. This is the test run, see what exactly it is this monster does.

It starts feeding itself energy. Weird, I think. Thats not supposed to be happening. Its not connected to the same power network that feeds it. So I pull out all but one reload- maybe there is a bug making it feed itself energy first. Nope, no energy at all is feeding into my IESU. "Shit," I think, "I must be using the wrong side for output." So I dismantle the feeding system, and rotate everything 90 degrees. Restarting it, and it STILL isn't outputting.

So, which side is the output? Picture 1? Or picture 2?

IIRC, the sides with the 1 dot that looks like superconductor cable should be the output sides, and the one with the big circle should be the input sides. Also, it needs 40,000,000 EUs to start outputting, not 10,000,000.

EDIT: Just tested, I'm right about the input/output sides.

I totally mistyped that, it is storing 100,000,000 eu. And for the deuterium/helium-3 reaction, I need 60,000,000 to start it up. Thanks, I'll try again; hopefully it works this time!
