Industrial Blast Furnace "randomly exploded"

[Jontakun]

Hey

I built my Industrial blast furnace today, had it running with MFE and then removed my MFE (due gregtech, expensive shit) with wrencher to use it with my solar panel for something else. So my industrial blast furnace had nothing powered to it and later on it was half destroyed, only a few casings left.

So how did this happen? Nothing attached to it, simply just the machine itself. I claim any friend on the server has done something, but according to them it can apparently "random explode".

Whats your opinions/experience with it?

Nope this never happened to me, I only know that the industrial blast furnace will explode, if you break the controller box with a pickaxe when the thing is working. If the random explosion really happen that must be a bug that must be reported to GT forum..

Btw, in the recent update, certain explosion of a GT machine might blow half of your base (because of the chain explosions from other GT machines)..

Yea I think so too, that someone has used a pickaxe on it or had a creeper explode down there. Can it still explode by using pickaxe on it without any power attached to it?

Nope, if there's no power into it and you break it with a pickaxe, you will get a machine part.

I'm 99% certain Industrial Blast Furnaces do not explode randomly, I have had a pure GregTech and IndustrialCraft only world that has had an Industrial Blast Furnace on it for a cumulative 24+ hours, and not once has that exploded.

Just tried with tnt and industrial blast furnace explosions in single player mode, none of that destroyed the casings. I had only 8 pieces of REINFORCED casings left when i saw it (our multiplayer server). How the f?

hmm, try to connect the said exact number of solar panels to your industrial blast furnace, let the industrial blast furnace work, and break it with pickaxe, I think the explosion power is related to the number of eu entering the blast furnace.

Nothing was attached when I noticed it had exploded.

It exploded in front of you? was it really an explosion? maybe someone stole your reinforced casings and made it like an explosion..

EDIT: btw, I tried nuking 3 x 3 x 4 reinforced casing in my creative world.. I only lost 1-8 casings..
