Le sigh...Also, as of v25, magneotstatics consume lubricant.
also, on a different note, why do people necro a thread with a title that makes my brain hurt?

Technically you're transfering fuel-for-power (potential energy if you like), when I was talking about RoC power (shaft power).Jetfuel via tesseract?
...I can't argue with this.Honestly, it feels like RotaryCraft begs for the simplest setups: one engine, one machine.
Prpbably shaft through nether portal for very long distance and just shaft for smaller oneAny idea yet how you plan to transport power long distance?
I freaking love electricraft; its a shame all the non-superconductor wires seem useless.Prpbably shaft through nether portal for very long distance and just shaft for smaller one
Might use electricraft too

I had massive TPS loss (Monster 1.1.2) when I tried to use electricraft to run the VDGs for my fusion reactor; seems placing resistors directly adjacent to induction motors can cause issues in the generator (issues being 40,000ms+ update times.) Other than that it seems to work OK, I have one turbine running an induction generator, I mainly use it for my extractor/friction heater setup. Trying to use it to run the fusion reactor infrastructure too but having nothing but trouble (including a bizarre solenoid problem; it explodes @512 speed but all the blocks remain, break one and it instantly regenerates. Wat ...maybe because snow on the ground? No idea.)Yup... And they create too much lag when connected to a turbine or such
I wonder if that's why my horizons game is basically unplayable these days. I use a ton of electricraft wiring.I had massive TPS loss (Monster 1.1.2) when I tried to use electricraft to run the VDGs for my fusion reactor; seems placing resistors directly adjacent to induction motors can cause issues in the generator (issues being 40,000ms+ update times.)

Are there any reliable methods of stabilizing input power from a turbine? I've yet to find any, and if I remember right, even underutilization of available steam seems to let it fluctuate slightly, at least in SMP.I have already made it clear what makes ElectriCraft lag - a constantly changing input power.
You could use flywheels to stabilize power output.Are there any reliable methods of stabilizing input power from a turbine? I've yet to find any, and if I remember right, even underutilization of available steam seems to let it fluctuate slightly, at least in SMP.
I guess I could turn it all into RF, have an energy cell intermediate, and some magnetostatics on fixed output, but that seems awfully kludgy. Parallel Industrial Coils *might* work but questionable if the changeover can be set up for 0 delay. *ponders this some more*
P.S. Thank you for making the resistors work the way they do; I was worried I'd have to do lots of calculations for power distribution and set up parallel/serial circuits and etc. By the way, any chance of letting us use gold/silver dust for the 3rd band?
From a turbine that would be...problematic considering I'd have to massively step down the speed or the flywheel will leave a nice gaping hole in the floor. I'm not even sure with that a flywheel could handle the overall load, I'd have to check the limits but I'm doubtful unless they've changed significantly since last I played with them. I'll take another look when I get home tonight just in case.You could use flywheels to stabilize power output.
It's the only thing I can think of, besides creative use of industrial coils. Also, who says you can't use more then one flywheel?From a turbine that would be...problematic considering I'd have to massively step down the speed or the flywheel will leave a nice gaping hole in the floor.

I'm having trouble getting shaft junctions to work in Monster 1.1.2, they work fine in split mode but in join mode they just sit there unmoving. They don't even grind on uneven input...It's the only thing I can think of, besides creative use of industrial coils. Also, who says you can't use more then one flywheel?
I am using them literally right now, so I have no idea what you are talking about.I'm having trouble getting shaft junctions to work in Monster 1.1.2, they work fine in split mode but in join mode they just sit there unmoving. They don't even grind on uneven input...
@_@ I am quite confused now. When I first updated from 1.1.1-1.1.2, it happened as I described - I had three turbines, tried linking the outputs with shaft junctions, absolutely nothing happened (it had worked just before the update.) I just tried it in a brand new SSP and it works A-OK... Maybe it was a once-off issue, if so, apologies for the false alarm. I'll try it again in my SMP world once I get more resources to be sure.I am using them literally right now, so I have no idea what you are talking about.
First you made them 5-tiered and now this? I gave up on the mod entirely for 2 weeks because of the tiers when I moved up to 1.1.2 of Monster, if that's the case next update I think I'm done with this "GregTechian" path you're taking adding extra steps on top of everything just for the sake of having them. I know noone gives a shit that I think that though, but I had to say it out loud.Also, as of v25, magneotstatics consume lubricant.
You just had to trash half of my builds, do you? Do you ever think of people who like compact builds? Can we at least put the lubricant in from any side but the output (including where the power goes in)?[DOUBLEPOST=1405636277][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, as of v25, magneotstatics consume lubricant.
I agree with the sentiment, for what it's worth.First you made them 5-tiered and now this?

He's trying to discourage people from abusing magnetostatics. If they would quit doing that, maybe he'd stop.First you made them 5-tiered and now this?

Define "abuse".He's trying to discourage people from abusing magnetostatics. If they would quit doing that, maybe he'd stop.
