[Solved]Magmatic Engines only pumping at 0.5 MJ/t?

[Maccyjam]

Hey,
I've got a magmatic engine connected to a liquid transposer through an energy conduit with the engine being constantly supplied with lava. However, it only gives 0.5 MJ/t as opposed to my other engines which reach the maximum 4MJ/t.
Was wondering if any one else was experiencing this in some form or if anyone knows of a reason why it may be doing this?

 

[Saice]

are you letting it heat up? Magmas start low and take a bit once they are yellow you shuld get the 4MJ/t

 

[Maccyjam]

Heat's at 1100 degrees so I don't think it's that.
Could it be something to do with there only being one conduit between the engine and the machine?

Does the liquid transposer have work to do and/or is it's internal energy storage full?

Magmatic engines will auto throttle themselves to avoid overheating, so if there is nowhere for the energy to go the engine will drop to .5 mj/t.

Yes you need at least 2, one pulling energy out from the engine, one putting energy into the LT

 

[Maccyjam]

Yeah, looks like it was due to me requiring two conduits. But I'll keep that in mind about them autothrottling, sounds fairly useful.
Edit: Or at least it did work for a minute or so...
Still not working at full power even with two conduits.

If nothing is requiring any energy the engine will slow down to avoid wasting lava, it's smart like that. If it is at full 1100C temp it's fine, when something starts to ask for power it will speed up again.

Thanks for the tip. It turns out it was due to the orientation of the conduits. I just had to hit one of them with a wrench and that solved it.
