I think a comparator from project red would output a redstone signal when the cell is full.
If you have it, use EnderIO "Capacitor Bank"s instead. You can then use a "Power Monitor" to output redstone signals on selected storage percentages. And you can have multiple Power monitors per capacitor bank, so you can for example start one row of engines up at 75% storage, another bank of engines at 50% storage etc.
So, first time using RotaryCraft, what am I doing wrong here? http://puu.sh/aqNQq/1e884fe682.png
The water just isn't going into the steam engine.
The water just isn't going into the steam engine.
Not sure why that isn't working tbh, my steam engines have water being piped in from the back and it seems fine. I'm using fluiducts but rotarycraft's own pipes should do the job just as well.
Haha.Steam, food, enderpearls, (Make a spawner for them.) Lava mixed with redstone, Oil/fuel, but over all I really love to just set up big reactors.
So for starting, Biofuel is okay after Steam?
Rotarycraft pipes work different from the BC pipes and fluiducts you may be used to. They require pressure to flow water, not just the presence of water in the pipe and a valid destination.
What are you feeding the pipes from? The reservoir? A RC pump? Or a different model water output block? If a reservoir, it needs to be elevated relative to the steam engine you're feeding, so gravity can feed the water. Use the handheld reader tool to check the pipe, it'll tell you it's current statistics.
If I'm wrong, maybe @Reika will be kind enough to correct me. Or confirm what I said.
I always use a dc engine on a Rotarycraft pump for extraction. The sandstone pipe from Rotarycraft also adds pressure to a pipe when pulling from a third party tank.
Edit: ninja'd by Santa.
Yeah I'm already using a DC Engine on the Pump. The problem isn't the water coming out of the pump, it's going into the engine.
The Suction Pipe isn't at all what I want.
Neither. I had the pipeline set up and containing water, then lit the fire, then placed the engine, I think. Either that or I placed the engine then lit the netherrack. Either way I have 1 bucket of water in the engine that I put in manually.
How can I check that without using WAILA?
If you set up steam with railcraft then you will never need to change the power off of steam. just build your way up and you could always do bio fuel as a side thing.
Add a second DC engine to the pump to see if that helps.
Then go for a pool over glowstone. Or a pool over glass over lava. The second option has the advantage of looking really really cool.
No worries.This worked, thanks
Just be careful when you start in on Reactorcraft. Both of those biomes will play havoc with your reactor temp.
