So i created this really nice small set up to power my magma crucible which powers a geothermal generator that keeps an MFE juiced up.

However i'm finding a couple of issues, If i connect some gold conductive pipes up to my engine, the pipe immediately after the wooden one starts to overload, i have checked the entire network and made sure nothing is interfering with the pipe.

I did have it working for a bit however when i logged out and back in, i heard an explosion and found it missing.

I also checked the engines power button and the MJ stored is in the negatives, almost -20000MJ.

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, i even tried a stone conductive pipe and it made no difference.

I also detached the pipe network and just had the wooden conductive plus gold conductive attached to nothing else and still it goes into overload mode.

I have checked the crucible, and the crucible itself isn't full of MJ's yet.

ok, so it no longer shows negatives, i guess that was a visual glitch, but i'm still having the issue.
 
yeah i saw that conductive pipes somehow get full of energy and blow up, but no idea why.
 
Apparently it is a change to BC pipes.

I hooked up the final piece of gold conductive pipe, raced over to my newly crafted filler that i had placed down along with the necessary landmarks, put in the glass pattern, and it managed to keep the overflow at bay, why the crucible can't i don't know, but it also means that i apparently have to ensure something like the filler is running so that it can power the crucible without overloading.
 
ok, figured it out. My crucible was just slightly too far from the biogas engine.

I shifted the crucible to be a lot closer (instead of 37 gold conductive pipes away, it is now about 20 gold conductive pipes) and suddenly i started having no issues at all.
 
I ran into a similar problem on an FTB server with magmatic engines. I discovered that if the power line is not fully chunkloaded (that is, if one end of the line is and the other is not) the power will build up until the line is refreshed (by breaking and replacing). moving the crucible closer may have made it into a loaded chunk.
