Galacticraft power doesn't work anymore

[Doomned]

Hey guys!

 

I really love this new modpack, especially the mods Galacticraft and Tinkers Construct. But, just when I was ready to fly to the moon, the last update came out. But after this update, al my machines wouldn't work anymore, the power wouldn't go into them. The only thing my Advanced Solar Panel will power is the Energy Storage Module, and this one wouldn't power the other machines either. So, is this a bug? Do more people got this problem? Or are there some rules for wiring I don't know about?

 

Thanks for your help!

I get this problem too, i settled to using thermal expansion power for both, the other problem is the refinery not draining fuel out, or taking oil in, ( from pipes and tanks  )

 

So yeah i think it's a bug too

More ppl  have this problem. Keep and eye on this tracker: http://forums.technicpack.net/tracker/issue-63-galacticraft-power-issue-unable-to-power-machines/

Even before the update I could not manage to generate power for galacticraft stuff. I have bunch of resources but I can't do anything with them because I don't know how. What have used to generate power?

[SirLordCjin]

yeah they need to fix this

[Ghiojo]

my solar panels worked and then one day. bum stopped to work (im talking about the same update) and now my freaking energy storage cell its almost empty

[P_TiTTy]

well my problem is that the circuit fabricator will not take power from anything

The only workaround I've found is to use the thermalexpansion generators (the dynamos) for the moment.  Look for Leadstone, it's cheap and should make a passable stopgap until this gets fixed (Leadstone energy cells for batboxes/energy storage modules, Leadstone conduits for wires).  The dynamos automatically throttle down so they don't waste a lot of fuel, and the high tier ones run for a long time without topping up.

 

Sometimes I've had partial success from the solar panels, but even then it's only been to charge the energy storage module and then was a matter of shuttling portable batteries into machines, so I'm not using them for now.

I just downloaded the mod from the website and replaced the one already in the modpack, It's working fine for me, no issues with other mods aswell!

Rolling back should work, yeah - the Galacticraft website has 2.0.8, we're on 2.0.9 - looks like the major fix was a bug where electrical wires were connecting to oxygen input/output ports which would explain why the wire behavior is different now.  The other thing of note in there is a bugfix when putting thermalexchange items into the battery slots causing crashes, so don't do that.

 

Edit: Or did you mean the latest 2.0.9 from micdoodles github works?

I really just took the 2.0.8 one from the website, plunged it in and used the galacticraft stuff to power the machines, I don't see any need of necessary use of Thermalexchange

[Brigadon]

I know I can still use the MFR biogen to connect to and power GC stuff using leadstone, although I think that it's actually native RF acceptance in galacticraft.

I actually enjoy when problems like this crop up, they give me an opportunity to try solutions I might not otherwise have tried...

 

 

This is a poor replacement for a solar panel

That's how I want to power my whole base! A massive bank of pigs on treadmills!

what my friend and i did was we used energy storage md=odules from the solar panels then directly connected the machines to the storage module it isnt a complete fix but it works

[Peopletrain]

Is anyone else not able to make an Energy Storage Module for Galacticraft? I can make batteries no problem, and my other power systems work fine (Coal Gen and Solar), but the crafting table will not show the ESM after i put the batteries and compressed steel in?

[Dadoug]

Same issue here, sometimes if I remove the conduit and put it back it suddenly will start working again
