so i've got this compact auto-factory built around a 5x5 MAC smashed into the top of a volcano. i'm powering it with both RF/Mj from an oil rig in an ocean oil field age (chunkloaded), input is fine, and is keeping a properly-oriented resonant energy cell bouncing within a couple hundred RF of "full" constantly, and a moderately large EU system just above the factory in the volcano.
because it's smashed into a volcano, it's difficult to get decent pics, but it's not a massively massive system.
the EU generation capabilities include 6 semifluid generators running on overflow from the oil rig, 18 geothermals on nether lava, and two mk1 nukes outputting 420eu/tick each.
here's the controller UI:
as you can see, not a huge system. here's the issue, though. i've taken great pains to ensure that this thing is relatively conservative power wise, i've run much bigger setups and i get way too sick of moving pumps, etc, so i've got the entire factory setup dark cabled, my ender pearl farm dark cabled, i've made certain that when i'm not actively crafting anything, everything involved is isolated from the system.
ok.. the problem. you'll notice that the controller is sucking ~50 eu/tick. this is at idle with everything connected and no current quarry input or anything. that's going to be, let's say, 150 eu. (it's actually sitting right at 132, but spikes and whatnot.. whatever.
without the nukes, i'm outputting (18x20)+(32x6)=552 eu/tic max. again, the EU system running this particular ae is isolated, and runs nothing but this ae. again, it is also hooked to my fuel rig via power relay, which is outputting something like 1440RF, which is in turn fed into this part of my system by 2 tesseracts filling a resonant cell.
without the nukes running, the factory at idle is draining the mfsu on the right like it wasn't even there, with all of the generators running constantly.
what the heck is going on? anyone else have problems like this? i could understand if it was churning out mfsu's or something, but ffs!
