I haven't played Tekkit for about a year, and I previously relied heavily on things like Industrial Craft and EE.
I'm really struggling with Buildcraft and Thermal Expansion et al. I really have no idea how to go about generating power and applying it to my ME devices and buildcraft lasers/quarries. I generally try to avoid the BC engines as they're either incredibly inefficient, plain dangerous or flat out don't work, and I don't want to baby sit my combustion engines all day long.
I couldn't seem to get redstone engines to apply any power at all (they wern't even pumping) my quarry.
Can I use Big Reactors or something to power my quarry? I'd really appreciate this, thanks.
