I'm wanting use electrical engines and tesseracts to power a quarry, however Kinesis pipes wont connect to them. Now I made this pack into something else, as I have over 100 mods disables... But I should have everything that will allow me to do this. Is there a new way to hook up tesseracts to engines?

TE no longer uses MJ, now it uses RF. As a result, you can't carry MJ on tesseracts anymore.

Hm, that sucks. Can you atleast hook it up to transport pipes or the quarry itself to transport items?

Also... is there a new way to transport energy then? If not that really does suck, but I spose I'll make due. (I'm also using Quarry Plus) so i don't know if that will have to do with anything.

Redstone Energy Conduits convert to MJ. And you can hook it up to the quarry, but you need to use itemducts coming out. KL really went out of his way to get you to use TE stuff and no BC stuff.

Hm okay, so no actual teleporting of MJ/s or EU's no more then huh?

you couldn't ever transport EU, but TE conduits convert RF to MJ internally so you can still power machines that need buildcraft power with them.

To hook your quarry up via tesseract, just use one bit of redstone conduit in between the two, stick a chest on top of the quarry and itemducts extracting from the chest into the tess.

You'll need TE dynamos the other end though, BC engines wont connect to conduits any more.

Meh, sounds like an extreme hassle really. I'll just power it at the quarry itself. I'll be powering a "Quarry Plus" so I wont ever need to go change it out any time soon lol. Although... are there still chunk loaders? If so which mod? I forget :/

Nevermind about chunk loaders, i found them

In all seriousness, it's every bit as easy to run a quarry off TE infrastructure, and you don't have to worry about multiple power systems in your base for simple things. Every machine, even stuff like railcraft and forestry ones that still use MJ can be hooked up to the same power grid as your TE machines that only accept RF.

MJ is rapidly going the way of the dinosaur at this point ;)

You can plug electrical engines into redstone energy conduits. From there, plug the conduits into the tesseract. I'm quite sure this works. I've been using conduits with RC engines since 1.4.7.

RF didn't exist in 1.4.7

Since 1.6.4 came out you can't plug MJ engines into conduits as far as I'm aware

Hmmm... So how in the world are people supposed to use RC/BC or anything else in conjunction with TE? Power converters? I guess just go with dynamos4life....

RotaryCraft can power RF, so can ExtraUtilities. It's the choice of the mod authors whether they want to adopt RF and be able to produce power for it. Nothing the COFH team can do about it
