Aqueous Accumulator

[Antmf]

I set up an Aqueous Accumulator and I put 1 bucket of water on one side and blocked it off and another on other side and blocked it off now. Amd I saw the pipes fill up with water and now its not working. My steam machines are running low on H2O and there is no water in the Aqueous Accumulator. Nor do I see water in my waterproof pipes anymore. Does the bucket of water need to be like This?

A=Aqueous Accumulator
W= Water

W A W
or like this?

W W
A

Water needs to be touching any two sides of the AA. The first setup is okay, the second is not.

There is/might be a very rare bug when an AA stop for no reason, even if you have water around it. I have observed this twice in SMP, but I can't reproduce it. If that happens, break and replace the AA. I would not rely solely on AAs to cool down boilers/combustion engines for the time being, at least not without a back up shutdown system in case there is no water in the pipes (use a gate to check).

I wanted to report this to KL, but as I said I can't reproduce the bug.

make sure the redstone settings are either turned to off, or just done have any redstone wires next to it.

This.

You may be running a wire too close and it caused it to shut down. Check your redstone settings.

Heh, I set myself a little bomb two nights ago. Left three hobby engines running and the next morning they're not producing. Water out. I had put one of the switches for the egine too close to the aqua thingie.

ALMOST went to the aqueus thingie and did the redstone thing before cooling down the engines. ALMOST. Came close to getting blowd up.

I remember that was a bug in a specific old version. I haven't personally heard of it since it updated. I don't remember the version, it was a few months ago. The backup system is always a good idea though!

back in my day, we didn't have these crazy Aquaman Acclimators. We didn't have redstone energy cells to pick up all the excess power. NO! Our stuff exploded and we had to be careful. We had to make cool systems to automate stuff and deliver water.

Y'all lazy. :c

Suddenly had a craving for a block that spawned Batman.

On topic: Basically, what everyone has already said. Make sure that two of the sides of the accumulator are touching water, and that no redstone signals are near it.
