Monster 1.1.2 Rotarycraft problem

[gago]

Hello!

I've tried to set up the Bedrock breaker in my singleplayer(using a server) world and after several hours of failed attempts i found a video on youtube(

) that made it simple. I've made it pretty much exactly the same but in the end, everything is rotating except the Bedrock breaker itself :\

Any help would be appreciated and i hope this is the correct forum section, i was a bit in a hurry when writing this.

Thank you and take care!

That is no where near enough power. The bedrock breaker was changed to require around 2 MW of power, while that hydrokinetic is outputting only 524 KW.

 

[gago]

Ah dang it :\ any tips on how to quickly get to that kind of power?
I started with magnetostatic engine, but got stuck on the 2nd upgrade, can't power the magnetizer :c

 

[Padfoote]

Make sure you have a timer setup on the magnetizer. That's something that people often forget when using it.

I personally use two industrial coils to mine bedrock. It takes a bit to charge them up to a usable point, but they're able to run it.

 

[gago]

Coils directly into the bedrock breaker? I'm slowly charging one up at the moment(but i've just realised it outputs 1k, while breaker needs 2k)
And i don't have enough power and speed for the magnetizing unit. I was using the timer.

Shaft junction two coils together, both outputting 1024 Nm and 1024 rad/s. You may need a gearbox in there as well, I can't remember what my setup is currently.

The magnetizing unit will run off of two steam engines without any issues.

Many thanks, i will try this when i get the chance

If you get 3 more hydro you will have enough power

oh and that video is very outdated

the magnetizer, try getting a microturbine. 3 buckets will get your tier 2 magnetized it will need a redstone pulse. Vanilla is your best bet, look for 2 tick redstone pulse on google

Bit overkill just to magnetize something. I do that with two steam engines without an issue.

Well I magnetize 16 when i run out of them, and when i run out, it means i need it now
but I plugged into my reactor output now, for 65k rad/s that was a big overkill...

Using two steam engines with a shaft junction and it's still not enough for the magnetizer. Might have to get 4.
Industrial coils are slow as hell, about 1/5th of charging the first one atm..

You'll need a gearbox after the steam engines IIRC.

I've made 4 hydrokinetic engines, connected 2 into one junction and 2 into another, then into the 3rd junction. Still not working :\

So if i got this right, i need to connect a 16:1 gearbox somewhere in the end?
EDIT: it didn't work in speed mode and it exploded in torque mode <.<

Also, what kind of gearbox would i have to use on the steam engines for magnetizing unit?

If you put them so one outputs into the other, they will work. Have a setup going like:
HHHH---GBB
H being an hydro, --- being shaft and bevel and gigles, G is a 4:1 gearbox (diamond),BB being bedrock breaker

 

[gago]

My setup right now:

It is still not working. everything is rotating, including the diamond gearbox but the bedrock breaker is still not budging.

EDIT: i changed gearbox lubricant input to the side.

EDIT number 2: after i changed the damaged gearbox with a new one, it now finally works!! many thanks for all your help

 

[Pyure]

how much power is the shaft leading into the breaker receiving? Use the transducer item, or connect a dynamometer to see the output.

 

[gago]

It works now, i just replaced the damaged gearbox with a new one and started pumping in the lubricant from the side

Thank you all again!

EDIT: just one more question; is it okay if i put shafts and bevel gears between the gearbox and bedrock breaker?

 

[McJty]

Why not simply chain four hydrokinetic engines? That's easy to do. No need for junctions or anything. Power is merged automatically.

Sorry, I just saw this. I use two steam engines hooked up to a 8:1 diamond gearbox in speed mode:

Spoiler

EDIT: just one more question; is it okay if i put shafts and bevel gears between the gearbox and bedrock breaker?

Yes.

Diamond gearbox need only 1 bucket of lub
and yes you can put shaft and bevel between then gearbox and the breaker
