Quarrying

[liam0402]

How do i get my quarry to work now that electrical engines are no longer in the game ???

Thanks

[joe5]

use an energy link

Thank you

remember that you need a wooden pipe to extract the power, and that it will eat up to 72eu/t regardless of what you are powering

Up to 72 EU/t? Seems more than that to me... Are you sure? ;_;

[joe5]

yep, we run a huge brodcasting system on my server and regardless of what you do to them, they will eat up to 72eu/t and no more.

Explain this...

[VideoBoy]

Damn I left minimap on... I hope nobody from my server sees this or I'm fawged.

Remember if you are using Essentials on your server and use Group Manager permissions, you need to /op [buildcraft] or it won't start...took me awhile to figure that one out. Same goes for [Redpower] and [industrialcraft]

You actually shouldnt use a wooden pipe, just place it right next to the quarry

Explain this...

You're feeding it high or medium voltage, throw some transformers before it and only feed it low voltage

That's what I did afterward.

HV cable -> MV transformer -> LV transformer -> batbox

That caps it to 32 EU/t. Is there any way to cap it further? I can't fathom to have 32 EU/t to a flippin wooden pipe... Specially since I have several pipes needing more than 4 redstone engines.

[joe5]

yes, use a red power filter and remove items at the rate of 5 stacks per second.

alternalty put a timer next to the batbox and an inverter to decrease the system duty cycle

Only problem with filters is I can't hook tubes to distribution pipes or diamond pipes, and I'm kinda lazy to replace my entire setup with sorters and put blutricity cables all in between it... But the batbox with timer sounds like something I could do. Thanks bro. :P

[joe5]

if you realy want to limit it put an inverter in between as that will drasticly cut down on the duty cycle.

hope this works out for you

Why don't you just use combustion engines.
