Question about Redstone Energy Cells

[Dailyhero]

Hey everyone,

I could use some advice. I currently have a restone energy cell being powered by some electrical engines. I setup a gate with some redstone wire and redstone torches so that when the energy cell becomes full the gate emits a redstone signal which travels through the redstone wire and flips the redstone torches off. Effectively turning my engines off so my gold pipes don't explode. Works perfectly.

My problem is I want to make a lever attached to a redstone energy cell that turns the output on or off accordingly. BUT since the gate emits a redstone signal I have to have the Redstone Control on the Redstone Energy Cell setting to either "Disabled" or "High Signal". Obvisously I want to use the high setting, but I can't get the redstone energy cell to recogonize a redstone signal when set to high, even if I place a redstone torch right next to the cell.

So, to simplify my question, how do you make a High redstone signal?

To change whether the output of the redstone energy cell is on or off you could grab yourself some redstone energy conduits and a cresent hammer and transfer the power that way. This would work because when attached to something, the conduit will show an orange or blue arrow. Blue stops the output but orange allows it.

Hopefully this answers your question, just some advice.

Might the conflict be that you have a gate emitting a redstone signal when the cell is full, and as such, the redstone cell is going to detect that signal and react to it? Try using pipe wire with the gate to see if it resolves itself.

To confirm, I had a very similar setup before I replaced it with a dedicated redstone cell filling turtle solution: A redstone cell with a gate that would detect when energy storage was full, and turn off a few electrical engines. I then had a remote lever that I could use to turn the redstone cell on or off, although I replaced this as soon as I had a few spare redstone cells for my rolling machine and thermonic fabricator as I used gates to keep them from draining power, which automated the entire system.

run red pipe wire from the gate detecting the condition of the battery closer to engines in a way that won't interfere with the cell. Energy full -> Redpipe wire and then redpipe wire -> redstone

only a minor change to what you have, use iron gates red pipe wire on the golden conductive pipes at the engines even if you have hte resources just need to be sure there isn't one of them next to the cell..
