Quarry slower in FTB beta 0.7?

[Zarkov]

I couldn't find anything about this here or on the BC page, sorry if I missed it being mentioned somewhere.

After updating to FTB beta 0.7 and Buildcraft 3.7.1 (directly from beta 0.5), my quarries no longer use more than 30 MJ/t and are noticeably slower. I think they used to max out at 50 MJ/t.

I did have some strange things happening when updating (power suit loosing all upgrades, etc.) so maybe it's just me, anyone else who has seen this and can confirm? Again, sorry if this is old news.

Edit: I don't know what has changed, but two quarries powered by one energy tesseract are slower in 0.7 than in 0.5, unless you add more input conduits on the sending tesseract (suggested by DZCreeper).

1.5.2 beta(0.7) with gt works fine with more than 50 mj/t.

What kind of pipe is feeding the quarry? Conductive pipes now have energy limits, and higher tiers have higher limits.

Energy tesseract right next to the quarry. I also tried adding an extra energy conduit between the tesseract and the quarry, and that conduit then sent 15 MJ/t.

Also, the tesseract in my base was requesting 80 MJ/t for 2 quarries, which seem to add up given the 25% loss.

80*0.75=60
60/2=30

everything seems to match

Yes, everything seem to indicate that they are using 30 MJ/t now (and not just the fact that they obviously are moving slower than before I updated). This is without Gregtech btw, didn't mention that before.

Also, I'm producing about 720 MJ/t, so there should be enough power.

Try feeding it with a energy cell

Holland says hi!

and why are you only sending 80 split between 2 quarries, and complain that they only use 30 each?
i`m really missing your point, dont i?

It's not that I'm sending 80 MJ/t, it's the tesseract that is requesting it. It basically has the full 720 MJ/t available to it (no in-line energy cells).

I'll try using an energy cell like Netherus suggested and see what happens.

Tesseracts are limited to 100 mj/t input per side and the same for output. So thats 80 mj/t max out, so each quarry would be getting 40 each at best.

the short answer is no I run one atm & the item tess is straining to keep up, setup is quarry energy tess, diamond pipe top void pipe filtering dirt, coble, flint & gravel, then rest into item tess, at base end diamond chest with import bus, I dropped the power rate down to 40mj to slow the quarry down a little it helped less items get spilled, even with the very very minor spillage its okay, the spillage is mostly one or two coble so I guess its on port items dont make it into pipe or something like that, ps quarry used to max out at 46mj.

as to the OP question no I see the quarry as faster now. pack ftbngt.

 

[Loufmier]

ps quarry used to max out at 46mj.

in my tests quarry was getting faster even after 50 mj/t supply

pre 15+ quarry was capped at 46mj, now it looks like I need to throttle it back, not saying its unlimited but if I give it 100mj its insane, no idea if its using all or maxes at ??.

This fixed it. Something has changed from 0.5 to 0.7 though, probably with tesseracts. But simply adding some more conduits to the sending tesseract got the quarry up to speed again, thanks!

from what i remember the cap was 100 mj/t on 1.4.7 ultimate

I think it is the same
