Hello everybody,
To start, English aren't my native language, so i have so trouble to write...
To explain my problem simply, i tried to power a Quarry, the circuit is good (i think), but i have a problem about the "blue flux" is stacking in the golden conductive pipe... and i know why??!

PS : I have a 6 panel solars (1) and a MSFU to produce electricity!

Thank's for all answers and helps ;)

Does the blue stack up until the pipe explodes? If so, the "blue flux" should fill the pipe, meaning, the blue rod inside the pipe should be very thick. In your screenshot, the blue rod inside the pipe is still thin.

PS : I have a 6 panel solars (1) and a MSFU to produce electricity!

You mean 6 basic solar panels from the IC2 mod?
In daytime, they produce 2 EU per tick. during night, they produce 0 EU.
So at best the 6 combined produce 12 EU/t

A single electric engine from forestry needs 6 EU/t. So at best, your 6 solar panels can power 2 electric engines. (during daytime)

As a test, try disconnecting all except 2 of the electric engines from your EU power line, and see if that works. (when it is day, in-game)

Yeah if i wait the blue stack will grow up and explodes... The blue rod is thin because i took the picture instant after the start of the electrical engine

Yes, 6-7 solar panels from the IC² mod but i dont active all the electrical engine et just start one and the blue rod still stuck in the first golden...

So, what you are saying is; the blue just get stuck in the first golden pipe, never passing on to the rest of the pipe system?

If so, then I don't know why that would be. In your screenshot, I can not see any reason why it would not work.

If you build a very small set up, (just for testing) with just one engine, a wood kinetic pipe, and a single gold kinetic pipe, and then some machine that uses up the energy. Does that work?
And then add a second golden pipe between the engine and the machine. Does that work?

If those tests work, then you could try braking down the pipes and rebuild them.
(and perhaps make it a bit less complicated while you are at it, you could save on pipes if you lower the horizontal kinetic pipe one block)

Also, you could test by connecting a machine to the pipes visible in the room, just to make sure the problem is inside this room and not wherever that pipe is going.


Edit:
Also, could tell what modpack you are playing, or if not a modpack, what version of minecraft, and version of buildcraft.

I am on Minecraft 1.4 and FTB Ultimate!
I think the chunk resets and my quarry doesnt work because this one is far from the electrical engine..

I hope you get it to work.

Keep in mind that in version 1.4 of modded minecraft, BC pipes lose energy over distance. So it is usually a good idea to put the engines close to the machine anyway, more efficient that way.
