I'm having a problem getting the MiscPeripherals charge station (standard) to charge a turtle in SMP. If I duplicate the setup in single-player creative, it works fine. Watermills feed a batbox, which feeds the charge station. Both the batbox and the charge station charge up normally. When a turtle parks on the dotted side of the charge station... nothing. In SP Creative, the turtle immediately starts charging.

I checked the MiscPeripherals configs on the server, and everything that looks charge station related was set to true.

Any ideas? This should be really easy... but it just isn't working.

They're bugged pretty bad at the moment. I'd say wait until next patch.

As it is the regular charge station is the only one that works period and to make it work you have to break it then replace it every time the server restarts for it to work at all.

A friend of mine on our server was having problems with his charge station. I broke it and replaced it so that the power input was opposite the power output dot and it magically started working. He'd had it configured so that power input was coming in the side.

These are bugged. Heck, even in single player they have issues. For one, I got a station to charge a turtle and charge me a pittance for fuel (as in I put in one coal, the turtle received 130,000 units of fuel ... that's way off. Should have been 80 I believe. It did it over time, not all at once. (and it was a generator next to the station connected with a copper insulated wire) - no other power source was available to it to feed from.

That was under Direwolf20.

In Ultimate, the charge station seems to work fine for me in single player and multi-player (I have the server running on my machine).

I'll have to check out the Ultimate (beta). Nice to know there is a fix in the works for charge stations.

Has anyone tried using either BT or MJ power with charge stations? I saw that there were some issues with EU power... maybe the other types work?

I haven't personally, but I think (could be wrong) that only the basic charge station can accept MJ, anything higher requires EU.

I have the Ultimate Pack and can tell you that they DON'T work even in SP. Logging on and off makes them stop. Is there a way, short of getting an updated mod version, of fixing this?
