Cant electrolyze bauxite dust

[Affex]

I put a stack of bauxite dust and a stack of empty cells in the Industrial electrolyzer, But nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? there is no other use of bauxite dust.

Remember that the Electrolyzer requires a CONSTANT supply of 128 eu/t. Any less and it won't work, as it has no internal buffer.

You likely just don't have an adequately-dedicated power source to it. A dedicated MFE or better PER electrolyzer is required to run it. One MFE can't run two Electrolyzers, as it only puts out 128 eu/t; enough to run one of them.

Did you also put empty cells into the electrolyzer?

Not correct, the electrolyzer does have an internal buffer for several thousand EU.

But yes, in order to run the full electrolysis, that's not gonna be anywhere near enough.

@Affex: Are the dust and the cells in the correct slots? Sometimes when shiftclicking, items can end up in the wrong ones.

Ah. Well, the internal buffer is negligible to the point that it may as well not even be there.

That's a better way of putting it

(Sorry I'm German, OCD is a racial passive for us. We do get a nifty +2 on engineering to make up for it though...)

Haha, it's no problemo.

I honestly didn't know it even had an internal buffer.

Re OP: It's hard to guess without a screenshot, but are you using actual IC2 cells, and not cans/capsules/etc? Only the cells will work.

Everything is working fine now, The MFE it was sitting on didnt have the output to the electrolyzer. Thanks anyways guys
