Direwolf20 1.7.03 MFR Grinder problem

[crusaderkvw]

Hi there guys,

i've finally managed to setup a mob farm with cursed earth BUT my grinders are not producing any mob essence at all. i have 4 grinders all setup and linked with ender io conduits and i made sure to get those pressurised liquid ducts to route to a openblock tank for now.
Is it because of the cursed earth spawning that they are not generating?
thanks in advance for any and all help

if you don't show us any screenshots all we can do is making wild wild guesses
try posting a few screenshots of your setup

also, does the grinder produce any mob essence in it's internal tank? because if that's the case but it's not outputting, it probably means you need to extract the mob essence from the grinder by pulling the mob essence from the grinder using the conduits

ahh yeah ofcourse haha. srry, will post pics in a few minutes.
no, the grinders aren't producing ANY mob essence. not even in the internal buffer.

here are some pics. srry for the darkness but i think you'll understand i didnt want to kill of my new cursed earth haha.
i've routed power and items underneath the grinders and that works just fine. p.s. the essence you see in the tanks comes from a previous attempt via sewers, altough i figured this would be faster and eassier to setup.

Are you absolutely certain that none of the mob essence in those tanks is actually from this setup? I would disconnect the fluid conduit line from the grinder to make sure.

 

[crusaderkvw]

i am certain of that. i looked at how much was in it before i hooked it up, and after i hooked it up and let it run for some good 15 minutes. both values were exactly the same. thing is: i'm on a server with some friends were we have a similair setup and my friends massive tank is filling up like crazy. will look into it again, maybe if i just change some things i can get it working.

Silly question did you remove the sewers?

 

[crusaderkvw]

i did . still: its a fair question

In your screenshots, I did not notice any power conduits, either they don't exist or they are underneath the grinders (and hence not visible).

I can't see anything obviously wrong with the setup though other than that possibility. Maybe a screen of the grinder's GUI might be helpful?

I suggest to change the mode of the conduits at the grinder. I remember, that i had trouble with TE liquiducts too, if i configure them to output mode. The MFR machines try to push out items and fluids into any connected inventory/tank. May be the explicit output mode prevent the grinder to output its fluid into the conduit.

hi guys, sorry for the late response. been kinda busy. the grinders GUI's are empty, and yes: the energy and item conduits are running underneath(didnt like the look of conduits sticking out outside haha.

kla_sch: thing is: the grinders won't produce ANY essence at all. thats my entire point here.

anyway: ill keep checking from time to time on that world, but i've started a new one because i messed up alot of my start wich ender me being kinda fixing everything for the last couple of days. this thread can be closed imo.
