[SMP] Geothermal Energy Help?!

[Omen964]

So im doing a Geothermal energy plant in nether.

i was figuring close to infinity energy right?

Got around 2 stacks of Geothermal on a + grid with the power cord in the middle and lava pipes on the sides thy are 3 deep and should produce around 240 EU/t

But i find it only produce around 60-80 EU/t

The geothermal only for 50% or less what thy should produce.

I give them area to store the energy and plenty lava in the pipes.

Thy keep turning on and off (Blinking on and off)

Why?

ps: i use Gold pipes and glass fiber.

How did you measure their EU output?

How did you measure their EU output?

EU-Reader i do 10 readings and take the average of that

[Backplague]

The EU reader outputs a significantly low value since it is bugged, so i beleive the generators are producing EU just fine. The "blinking" is also normal, they automatically stop producing EU when the whatever machine you are storing the power in is full.

[Omen964]

okay got another question then.

Why dose not the MFSU emit all its 512 EU/t to the mass fabricator when thy are fully charged?

[Backplague]

Because the mass fabricators are fully charged. I think you only misspelled it but the MFSU outputs 512 EU every tick and can store 10,000,000 EU.

Bugged? Since when? D:

I've also found something interesting about Geo-generators. It seems as though for each block (cable wise) away from an E/U consuming device (even an MFSU), they loose one E/U. This is not E/U loss from cables, I checked it directly from my generators. Best thing you can do is have the cable leading to whatever device be coming from the middle of your geo-generator array.
