RotaryCraft Fuel Powered Engines never stop?

[panicnot42]

I put a bucket of fuel into a fuel powered engine a few hours ago... It hasn't stopped . Any way to find out how long fuel is supposed to burn for, or whether it's burning at all? Tried to use computercraft, but the peripheral wouldn't wrap

I don't think reika is needed for this one... I'll call down a lesser deity. I summon @Padfoote and @ThatOneSlowking. I should probably look into RoC instead of just calling for you tell when anybody asks a question...

It helps if you get our names right.

Angular Transducer should (IIRC) tell you how much run time is left with the fuel.

I always forget the e. I wonder how many times I've summoned you incorrectly...

Go find out and then do a correct summon, I need more threads to post in today.

You derp. You just put the @ sing and part of the name and a little list pops up of users with that name. Just select our names from there.

I'm on mobile m8. Like always...

Oh xD
I use the browser on my iPad, so that may be why I can use it.

Doesn't seem to do anything. Works on the gasoline engine.

It only lists the coordinates of the block and its name. No power output, nothing.

IIRC it should tell you how long the fuel will last. If it isn't, then I have a feeling either I can't remember things correctly, or there's no fuel in the engine.

If there's no fuel, why does everything attached to it keep running? And why don't my peripherals work?

Is this a bug @Reika?

ECU can stop your engine and make it go ay 25-50-75% (IIRC) of its max speed, and uses up to 4x less fuel (for the same powa)

IIRC it works with redstone signal : a 15 would disable it

Oh, right. Forgot that. Still, it runs for hours on a bucket of fuel... Without the ECU. And I can't get info from it using the transducer or computercraft

It shuts down when it runs out of fuel for me.

Hmmm.... How do I determine how much fuel is left? None of the machines are working as computercraft peripherals.

 

[fishille]

Right click engine, GUI pops up and shows how much fuel is inside and time left.
At least that's how I've done it... I believe 1 ethanol crystal = 10 minutes on regular engine

Try WAILA.

 

[panicnot42]

Try WAILA.

Ok, WAILA reports fuel draining. However, it's really slow. A single fuel engine managed to get my boring machine 700 blocks at max size, using 3/4 of a bucket. Is that right? Also, why doesn't computercraft work?

It burns 4mB every few seconds; this is about on par with a BC combustion engine.

Also, why doesn't computercraft work?
