Weylin Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just FYI... THIS is overkill: This, from as far as I've tested, running as fast as possible, and through the night, works just fine: This has just been bugging the hell out of me lately... It's just not necessary unless you're running an electric furnace for a long period of time. This other stuff? They use next to no energy at all, they'll run straight through the night without hardly making even a dent in their internal battery, not to mention the invisible one that solar panels have.

DanielJin Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Could I just ask what is the block? I am not very familiar with the texture pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weylin Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 The block on the left is a battery box, and the one on the right is a retriever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielJin Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Right, that's a good thing to know. Don't need much energy to run redpower machines unless it's working constantly. But what about frame motors/pumps/sorting machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weylin Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've managed to run a sorting machine non-stop with nothing more than a solar on top, ran for several hours and never had any problems. As for frame motors and pumps, I have not tested those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for frame motors and pumps, I have not tested those. Pumps are a decent drain because in most cases they're working for long periods of time. I've had one drain a couple of batbox's with 8 solars attached, but it was also running for many minecraft days draining a lava ravine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed10 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Frame motors use energy in proportion to the number of frames they move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
