I have the following setup:
1 MV Solar array -- fiber optic cable --> MFE --- 2x Ins gold cable --> LV transformer (output 1)----> copper insulated cable --> compressor -> rotary macerator 7500 RPM --> extractor --> 2x Ins gold cable --> Induction Furnace
(output 2) ---- 2x Ins gold cable --- copper insulated cable --> electric furnace
The problem is that usually when I come to my MFE at a random point in time, I find my MFE to be nearly depleted/empty (after a good amount of time, let's say around 1 Minecraft day).
I am looking for a scientific explanation as to why this is happening. This is odd, especially because the two other players in the server have no MFE problems like I am having.
I have tried to figure it out using the following information (assuming my data and calculations are correct):
1 second = 20 MC ticks
1 Minecraft day (dusk+night+dawn) = 10 minutes = 10*60s = 600s*20 = 12000t
probability of rain = don't know
copper insulated cable EU/tick loss = around 1 EU/t
2xIns gold cable EU/tick loss = around 1 EU/t
Constantly on:
-rotary macerator at 7500 RPM -> 3 EU/t
-Induction furnace 100% heat -> 1 EU/t
-MFE: 128 EU/t output
-MV Solar Array: 64 EU/t output
Calculation:
Machines and cables: 128 EU/t + 3 EU/t + 1 EU/t + 1 EU/t + 1 EU/t <-> 134 EU/t
Loss of EU per tick = 134 EU/t - 64 EU/t = 70 EU/t
Loss of EU per night (solar array not operating) = 70 EU/t * 12000t = 840K EU
134EU/64= I need 2.09 (3) MV solar arrays to keep this energy consumption up without losing energy.
Are my calculations incorrect? I don't know why my MFE is almost always nearly empty when I come and check it.
Do I need more MV solar arrays?
If anyone could explain this to me I would be thankful.
Thank you.
