Are they all connected properly?

[hallowhead1]

I am must wondering if the top 3 on the left are connected properly? or should they be attached separately

To the Conduit System? The Engines? Yep, they are.

 

[hallowhead1]

to the redstone energy cell!

What is the maximum MJ that can travel through a conduit?

 

[Whovian]

No idea. \Looks up

EDIT: Doesn't look like there's a max, or maybe a large max of MJ/t. Couldn't find a cap anywhere, at least.

 

[hallowhead1]

alright thanks i couldn't find one either! That thing can crank power, wonder how much more power my High pressure is going to produce!

 

[Whovian]

You can also hook up the Engines directly to the Boiler, no need for Liquiducts.

for the record - the answer is 18 industrial steam engines can be attached directly to a boiler, conduits can move over 10,000 MJ per tick without loss (haven't tested with any higher... it seems that there's just a flat 5% loss when moving through any length of conduit)

18 ind steam engines on a boiler is 144 MJ/t - you would need 2 redstone energy cells to accept that much power, any unaccepted power would be wasted.

I read somewhere that it's 500mj/t, not quite sure though. It's atleast more than the 288mj/t I'm generating.

I spoke to King Lemming about this a few days back, and he explained that a single conduit section can accept 500 MJ per tick (burst intake), and can also output 500 MJ per tick at most. Beyond that, there are not supposed to be any limitations regarding energy transfer through the entire conduit network.

I want to stress this. The liquiducts are in no way necessary. Put the engines RIGHT onto the boiler, it'll work.

I do think that having a separate bank of engines looks a lot prettier though. Just takes up more space.

I usually put two rows of engines against the side of the boiler with a conduit in the middle, extending all the way up to attach to a 9th engine on the top of the boiler. Repeat this on the other side and you've got a very compact boiler system. (5x3x6, not including supply lines for water and fuel)

You can slip both an aquaenous accumulator and a tesseract right under the boiler.

No offense but that is the ugliest build ive seen in a while lol Tiddy that beast up some.

 

[Vovk]

I suppose my testing with conduits was outdated. good to know the limit is 500.

 

[Greyed]

you would need 2 redstone energy cells to accept that much power, any unaccepted power would be wasted.

Nope you need 1 RECell. You need 2 connections to that cell. The limitations in the RECell GUI are per connection. Don't believe me? Plop down a RECell, put 2 separate REConduit lines to something that draws power. Set the output max to 1MJ/t, watch it drop by 2MJ/t.

 

[Vovk]

good to know. So liquiducts and conduit care more about connections than amount of parallel lines.
