Need help for in-game situation

[TheRedReaper07]

I have an electrical engine hooked up to some conductive pipes in order to power a moistener and a pump, the first time I tried it it worked fine, but the moistener wasn't working because I didn't realize I needed dirt, cobble, or stone bricks. When I found that out I tried it again but the power wasn't going to either machine, and a blue box just kept getting bigger in one of the conductive pipes. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

The moistener doesn't require power. All you need to give the moistener is a recipe, the materials, water, and a dark place and your good. You really should take a look at the forestry wiki, tons of helpful things there.


Oh and that blue bar getting bigger is power getting backed up in the pipes without a place to go, it will eventually built up and then explode destroying the pipe and maybe a block or 2 near it.

Oh yeah, it is also important to note that the moistener need darkness to run.
The darkest, the best.

It will run at a very decent speed if you manage to keep it th a very dark room.

Yeah I was gonna mention that, but I was hoping he would take a look at the forestry wiki to find it out. Honestly if everyone would check the wiki before making a new thread we would have a much smaller number of useless threads created every day.

One thing is for sure, I won't be copying and pasting what is in there, like what side is for what, but it can't hurt to give the info you have at hand, right.

Some mods have great wikis, but others have so little explanations about them, so we are really waiting for the FTB wiki to have more content. It should be something that we can find info on all the mods in one place, but not sure when it will be.

Yeah, I don't mean to sound harsh. Help is nice sometimes for sure. Its just that I had this exact problem happen to me about a week ago and it took my 5 mins to open up the forestry wiki and see in big bold words on the moistener page "Does not need to be powered by an engine." So it doesn't hurt to look before posting a question.
