Mj/t for refineries to work at max speed?

[Wekmor]

Yeah as stated in title, how many MJ do I need to supply to get it to run at max speed? According to the wiki it is 6 MJ/t for green status. Now I have a REC directly connected to 2 refineries and have power converters convert 32 eu/t to ~13mj/t, which means I give the refineries 13 mj/t. But one refinery is running green, and the other one running purple (which is pretty slow).

12 MJ is max speed.

 

[Wekmor]

oh so green doesn't mean max speed? Makes sense now, thanks

Depends on your texturepack, since you're not using the default...

He's using faithful.

...which is 95% accurate but not completely. Apatite and fertilizer for example looked different for a good long while. Not sure if they still do, haven't looked in a bit.

The faithful tp uses the same colours as vanilla does. So it's all good

Btw apatite still looks like the diamonds. Which I like better. Fertilizer looks like blue pulverized metals. Dunno about standard textures for that

From the wiki.

The two smaller blocks to the side of the central tank on the refinery indicate the Refinery's operating speed and its power consumption rate. If they are red, the Refinery is not in operation. Purple is the slowest possible operating speed, blue-green is the second-fastest and green is the fastest.

Yeah, and the next sentence is "To reach the green indicator status, approximately 6 MJ/t are required.", which is why I thought 6 MJ/t is the max.

Yeah I had edited it in but I must have removed it by accident. My bad, man.

To be a bit more precise:
In Buildcraft 3.7.2 Oil->Fuel uses 12 MJ/t (1 mB Oil to 1mB Fuel per tick)
In Forestry 2.2.8.4 Biomass->Ethanol uses 10 MJ/t (4mB Biomass to 1mB Ethanol per tick)

125mj/t is there max, as shown by waila

 

[budge]

Do they actually work faster if supplied with more than 12 mj/t? And is it efficient?

 

[Omicron]

No, they do not work faster. What Waila shows is their burst input limit, that is, how much MJ they can accept into their internal buffer every tick. It has nothing to do with the rate they actually consume power at

In creative mode using 2 energy cells in a chain to power the refinery the one closest to the refinery let's call A and is empty you can "throttle up" or "throttle down" the the other cell lets call B to find a rate at which A neither stores more energy nor discharges any. Using this method you can see the refinerys Max draw is 13mj/t (130 rf/t in latest version on TE ) and this is after allowing the refinery to fill its power buffer.
What its doing with that extra 1mj/t im not sure.
[EDIT] just raced a 12mj/t refinery against one getting 13mj/t.....it produced fuel quicker!
So the extra 1mj/t is not getting wasted. But more power than that has no effect.
