Quarry conductive pipe build up

[CapSpinzz]

I'm pretty sure this is my issue, but it might not be as well. I have (so far) 2 electrical engines sending power to a wooden conductive pipe (only 1 to receive the power) > golden conductive pipe > quarry. When I leave the main area of the quarry then come back, the pipes are backing up into the first tube (Big blue electrical build up in the tube after the wooden tube)

I've read that this means the machine is not getting power or "something is hooked up wrong". However, previously to leaving the area, my quarry is working flawlessly. It's destroying blocks and sending them to my chests. The only way to fix this issue seems to be by breaking the quarry, removing the left over orange tubing, then starting over from land markers.

This method also requires me to move the quarry from where I had it before. If I just break it and place it back down after setting my land markers, the quarry gets placed but nothing happens.

Lets try the least unlikely first.
Check the chunk boundaries.
Make sure the engines, the wooden pipe, and the gold pipe are all in the same chunk as the quarry.

And I'm sorry, but I must say, electrical engines? Really? I hope you have maxed out choke in them and efficiency.

Again, so far, 2 electrical engines is what I have. After I've built up resources I'll go into the advanced section but for now it's just a basic quarry for resource gathering.

The least unlikely seems to be the most likely. It seems (no joke) that I've literally placed my pipe leading to my engines 1 block out of the quarry chunk. So after destroying and replacing this one pipe that seems to be just 1 block out of the chunk, the whole thing just works. However, why does it say it's keeping 6 chunks loaded when it's seemingly only that one chunk it's on. I know chunks are small, but really? THAT small? I'm not even 6 blocks away from the quarry.

chunks are 16 by 16, and I could get a quarry to keep those 6 loaded with only 32 blocks inside the frame.

It's a little bigger then that if you used a default size I'm sure, but it could land wrong just the same.

The exploding gold pipe has happened for a few reasons over the last few months.
There was a bug where it happened at random. Then that was partially fixed so it only happened at random in chunk loaded chunks. Then at random when partially loaded by chunkloaders (so some are in and some are OUT). There's an odd refinement of this that's intended behavior, where pipes in a network that have no place for energy to go, either due to the capasity of pipes to handle mj flow (water behind a dam building up because there's not enough holes in it) or a lack of machines requesting the MJ...

though I'm pretty sure it wasn't that because you've got nowhere NEAR enouy product to overpower a quarry. those electrical are just... horrible.... get the circut board with tubes in it figured out as quick as you can, so you can improve those enjines, stock stats on them are terrifying.

ive seen the same issue over and over again. even with a chunk loader. i know it takes up space but try adding more gold pipe in a loop so that it loops back on itself. that helped me
