    [solved] Problem with electrical engines & advanced solar panels

    I ended up "solving" the problem by wiring each panel individually to an engine. Kind of irritating way to end up solving the problem, but at least it works. The panels are now outproducing the draw of the engines.

    [solved] Problem with electrical engines & advanced solar panels

    I thought three advanced solar panels was over-building.. =/ I also did what you suggested, and hooked up each solar panel to the batbox individually, and the batbox is still only drawing from one panel at a time (this time, the panel floating to the left of the batbox). This is baffling..

    [solved] Problem with electrical engines & advanced solar panels

    The problem is that the panels should be able to run the machinery indefinitely. If the panels are being drained during the day, when there is no reason for it, then they will never last throughout the night.

    [solved] Problem with electrical engines & advanced solar panels

    I generally use batboxes / mfe as buffers between power generation and engines, but I didn't think it would be necessary since the panels have internal buffers. I did hook up a batbox again at your suggestion, though; I even put it far enough away to make sure it wasn't touching any one panel...

    [solved] Problem with electrical engines & advanced solar panels

    I haven't tried to take out the iron tubes yet, but I built an EU reader and took a few measurements... There is only about 10 eu/t travelling through the cable to the engines, which is what is expected. The problem seems to be that they are only drawing from one of the solar panels at at...

    [solved] Problem with electrical engines & advanced solar panels

    It's hard to say exactly how much extra they are pulling, but they are definitely pulling out of the buffer faster than the panels are producing. That's how I noticed the problem from the start, because by the time I had everything hooked up the panels' buffers were full, and once I turned on...

    [solved] Problem with electrical engines & advanced solar panels

    I'm using glass fibre cable, and the engines are all that is hooked up. The solars do have a clear view of the sky, and the interface on them report that they are producing 8 eu/t each. Edit: Added another shot of what is hooked up to the engines to show that there are no loops.

    [solved] Problem with electrical engines & advanced solar panels

    I just set up a bee breeding station outside and I've hooked up two electrical engines with iron electron tube upgrades (-1 eu/t input) to some advanced solar panels in order to run a couple of machines related to apiculture. Now, with the iron electron tube upgrades the engines should only be...

    Single player world backup?

    In the launcher, go to the Options tab. The install folder will be shown there, so just find that and your saves will be further down in it. Where your saves are depends on what modpack you're playing. For instance, I use Mindcrack so my saves are in /MindCrack/minecraft/saves/ inside my ftb...

    Does industrial centrifuge kill anyone else's framerate?

    I get about 100 fps in my workshop until I start using the industrial centrifuge, at which time it drops to 10-15 FPS.. Anyone else having this issue?

    Whats the best way to hook up a quarry?

    I don't know about the best way, but what I like to do is use a blulectric engine.. I decided to go that route because blulectric solar panels are so easy to make. I have fifty of them that I join to seven batteries, and then to the blulectric motor. Now, the motor automatically scales its...

    Question about railcraft tanks

    I just upgraded my tank from 5x5 to 7x7 and all of the stored liquid was deleted. I didn't touch the bottom center block. I'm pretty sure it was advertised as being up-gradable without losing fluid.. So perhaps it's a bug?

    Blulectric engine - does anyone use it?

    Wow, I just tried it.. I had no idea! I saw in NEI that you could make string from stuff you got from Hennequin, but that sounded like a pain as well (I didn't try it to be honest). Anyway, thanks for the pointer.. I guess that the recipes are ok now, given that you can grow flax. When I made...

    Blulectric engine - does anyone use it?

    I use it as the go-to power for my quarry... Seems to work pretty well so far. I use it to draw from 6 batteries that are fed by either 12 solar panels or four wind turbines, depending on where I'm setting up. Obviously, wind turbines for Twilight Forest, solar panels elsewhere. I do think...

    [solved] crash with optifine

    Hello -- I am trying to use Optifine_1.4.6_HD_U_B6 and each time I try to load a world Minecraft will hang. I have also tried to use Optifine_1.4.6_HD_B6 with the same results. The game will load normally when Optifine is disabled. The mod has been installed from within the launcher by putting...
