andrewdonshik Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I'm just curious on how to get BuildCraft APS to work. I feel that I'm doing something wrong because I place the solars correctly, they light up, but the collector doesn't produce power. Also, the storage block registers an input but doesn't store energy. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotyaoi Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 How many solars do you have? They don't produce that much individually. Also, are you using a wooden redstone pipe or a lapis pipe on the collector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewdonshik Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I had about 9 reflectors, and I used a redstone pipe on the collector. There was no blue line whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotyaoi Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hmm... is a redstone signal being applied to either the collector or the energy storage block? Redstone to the collector will disable it, while redstone to the energy storage block will put it in output mode. If that's not the answer, post a screenshot of your setups, might be able to get a better idea from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewdonshik Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 Here we go. I got the solar things outputting energy and the energy store accepting it. (Those things take a LOAD.) But, when the solars output energy, the blue line dissipates the instant it hits the first non-wooden conductive pipe. EDIT: Does this count as a double post?

Industrial Miner Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 All you need to know about APS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewdonshik Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 All you need to know about APS. Doesn't explain why 9 or 10 solar reflectors don't produce enough energy to make it past 1 pipe. It argues the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charcharmunro Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well, if you're using a wooden conductive pipe... Don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewdonshik Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well, if you're using a wooden conductive pipe... Don't. I tried both, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charcharmunro Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Are you applying a redstone signal to the energy store? That flips it to output energy and not receive any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewdonshik Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Are you applying a redstone signal to the energy store? That flips it to output energy and not receive any. Nope, because if I feed it from an adjustable electric engine it fills. Also, the energy gets stuck before hitting the first gold pipe.

Hushful Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Can you take a screen shot of the setup? Maybe someone can deduce the problem easier that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is: The line flashes forward for a split second occasionally, and the store it's powering is going very slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
