Redstone Energy Cell problem.

[JegherX]

Ehi guys! I'm here because i need a solution to a technic problem.. I connected a couple of machines (2 magma crucible, 2 liquid transposer and a induction smelter) to a full redstone energy cell. The problem is that with ALL machines full of energy AND NOT working, the redstone cell continue losing energy..

Is there a sort of bug? Or is it normal that T.E. machines always consume energy??

PS on the opposite wall, i have another redstone cell, connected to 4 furnaces a pulverizer and an induction smelter, and it DO NOT lose energy

Anyone can help me? Thanks

I think in the 1.5 version of TE all machines consume power while idle.

Hmm didn't see that 'Ps' but that would be very weird

"P.S.: on the opposite wall, i have another redstone cell, connected to 4 furnaces a pulverizer and an induction smelter, and it DO NOT lose energy "

Unfortunately the solution is not so easy thanks anyway!

Break the connect to the machines, one at a time, and see which one is eating the power.

/edit -- if you have a rolling machine in that group, there is your culprit

 

[JegherX]

Mmm.. i think i found the solution.. but i can't understand why..
Anyway i think the problem is something about chunk updating.. I noticed that i have the loss of energy everytime i log out the server, but with a spot loader in the chunk i don't lose energy..

Strange thing.. Thanks at all ^^

 

[AlanEsh]

Is the energy cell in one chunk that stays loaded, and the machines it feeds in another chunk that wasn't staying loaded?

 

[JegherX]

No, they are in the same chunk.. and after some other tries i've seen that my solution is not still working xD
For the moment i'll block the energy flow with a lever, but it's really bad to see and not definetely :S

What does your power connectivity look like? Chiefly - are your energy conduits (or conductive pipes) forming a loop anywhere at all? Or perhaps even touching the energy cell on more than one face?

 

[JegherX]

Of course i use energy conduits.. and to explain better i post a screenshot ^^

 

[Physicist]

The 1.5 TE machines do not leech power while idling, and I don't even see a config file in the folder that might allow for such a change.

How does power get into that energy cell?

 

[JegherX]

Because of it's rare use, for the moment i personally change the cell when it is empty.

 

[AlanEsh]

So did you ever just break the power conduit to one machine at a time and see where the energy loss was happening?

 

[JegherX]

Yes i did. All the machines seem to drain energy.. i've noticed a 1.000MJ decrease per machine every time i log out and re-log in.
So 1k with 1 only connected, 2k with two machines and so on..
