I have four windmills, each on the end of a 10-block length of glass fibre cable, with a MFE in the middle. Glass fibre cable runs down from the MFE into a LV transformer where it's cabled up to my machines. This is to stop any power from being lost by the distance between the windmills and the MFE. This is all situated at something like layer 240-245, which has never been a problem before.
It should be going like the clappers but the MFE just isn't taking power from the windmills for some reason and I am thoroughly baffled, especially since I stuck an LV solar array into the top face of the MFE and it's taking charge from that.
Taking the MFE off and putting it back seemed to get it taking some charge from the windmills but it was very nearly nothing at all and it spontaneously stops and starts apparently at random. I ran a much bigger setup than what I have now off the same arrangement with no trouble whatsoever in a different world with the same settings but there's not enough power for any of my machines to run this time and they all sound like death.
Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Error Messages:
No error messages, just that horrible wheezing sound that machines make when they run out of power. Over and over again. Every moment of the day when that solar array is working. Dear lords, please make it stop.
