Assembly Machine Woes

[dozbot]

Hey everyone, got a problem with my G-tech assembly machines.. Im using the latest 1.4.7 Ultimate build and yes, I do have my machines over clocked and yes I am supplying them with plenty of EU so with that cleared up I'll get onto my point.

So far I have found 2 recipes which literally jam up the assembly machine requiring it to be wrenched up and re positioned losing the materials inside. This *only* happens with overclocked machines as far as I can tell. The recipes which jam up or whatever are for the Data Orb in an overclocked machine and the Olivine Dust variant of the data storage circuit. Now for the data storage circuit, the only recipe which doesnt work is the olivine dust + Advanced circuit recipe, the emerald + advanced circuit works fine in an overclocked machine. The olivine recipe jams up even in a non-OC'd machine, I just tested it to be sure.

Im not sure where to report bugs, if this is the wrong place I hope some one can point me in the right direction!

Cheers

Not sure about the problem, but here is where you want to post your bugs with Ultimate 1.1.1

How much EU/t do they take without overclockers?
How much EU/t do you have?
How many overclockers do you have?

You have made a horrible and wrong assumption.

The assembly machine does not require the same amount and size packet of power for every operation.

The behavior you are describing, taking the materials and getting stuck, is a gregtech machine with insufficient power. It starts over, again and again, getting to 1% or less of the operation before failing.

This is insufficient power because the data orb and some variants of others take MUCH more power in larger packets. When you overclocked it you increased the power demand to the point that it was impossible for you to supply it.

Congratulations, somewhere gregT is laughing at you.

The long and the short of it is, for data orbs, and anything else that you find to fail, you have to put them into an assembly machine that isn't overclocked.

Without overclockers, the olivine recipe for data storage circuits takes 4 EU/t, and the data orb recipe takes 16 EU/t.
If you only have 2 overclockers then that becomes 64 EU/t and 256 EU/t respectively. That might be doable if you beef up your power supply a bit. (256 EU/t is 2 MFE's).
If you have 3 overclockers, the data storage circuits take 256 EU/t and the data orb recipes take 1024 EU/t.

I have over 25000 eu/tick available on that particular part of my grid @ 512 eu/packets with each machine upgraded to accept 512 eu/packets. I will try some other options and thanks for the delightful reply IcountFrom0.

Also to note, I have several other triple or maxed overclocked assembly machines churning out anything else I throw through them, I've tried these recipes with single over clockers and yes they have enough EU.

Fixed the problem anyway, I decided to add a Lithium storage upgrade, which got them going no problems.
