Hey, that sounds like a plan! Hadn't heard of the gate reader til now, will have to try that. Doesn't need many resources either which is good, I can just re-use the gate I already have on there to build it.

I don't think these options are available for the Redstone Energy Cell. When I tried it, the only options for it are empty, has energy, can store energy, and full. It's a shame, those would have been ideal! The solution I went with in the end was to turn the cell off every 10 seconds to...

Out of interest, how did you detect when an engine in orange?

Thanks Zjarek, that looks like a pretty nice solution. So if I understand correctly, you flip between the output of the two cells, such that only one cell has the power sink at a time. I think in your situation the power drain is larger than the input power, meaning that at any time you have...

Thanks to you both! I'm sure I can implement some combination of your answers as Magnus suggested. By having two cells, I have effectively got one 1200000 MJ cell with the ability to detect the half way point. Very handy! I'll have to try this out and see what I can come up with.

Hey all, I have a problem detecting a full redstone energy cell when using a logic gate on an adjacent buildcraft pipe. The problem is that I have a constant energy sink from the cell, meaning that even if the input power is higher than the output power, the cell will never register as being...
