Hi, I have a weird issue with a redstone energy cell and conduit. In the setup in this screenshot:

The cell is constantly drained VERY quickly (even with the dynamo next to it constantly inputting power) when the redstone conduit is present at the bottom of the cell. Even though nothing else is connected to the conduit. It is just a conduit on its own. Removing the redstone conduit removes the drain and the cell can fill up normally.

This is with 1.6.4 UHS modpack (Ultra Hard Survival). Anyone has any idea what the issue here could be? Normally I would use EnderIO conduits but this modpack doesn't have EnderIO unfortunatelly.

don't the conduits have a pretty large internal buffer? It should eventually stop. As long as more conduits aren't added.

Yes, that's faithful32.

Anyway, I don't think it is the internal buffer unless the buffer of a redstone conduit is bigger then the energy cell itself (it totally drained my cell). It *solved* itself when I restarted Minecraft so I think there was some kind of bug.

I once heard someone having a problem with ghost machines, basically machines that were once placed down, and wrenched up again, but the game still though the machine was there and kept pumping power into the ghost machine.
did you have a machine near that conduit before?

No but I did have other conduits there before. i.e. this happened after I upgraded the conduits.

I see conduits hooked up to the top of the cube, would you mind removing those, putting the cube a few blocks away and check if the same problem still persists?
This would rule out ghost machines.

Removing those would break my power setup as the cables at the top lead back to my harvester and furnace which is needed to get the charcoal for the dynamo to get power into the cell in the first place :)[DOUBLEPOST=1413449877][/DOUBLEPOST]And besides, it works now so I can no longer reproduce the problem.
