redpower pump

[Mageleon3860]

i have never used redpower pumps so everytime i connect a blue alloy jacket wire to it, it dosn't connect? what do i do lol

[LazDude2012]

Jacketed wire? Jacketed will most likely not connect without putting a blue alloy wire underneath it.

[Mageleon3860]

:S does the wire have to be on the side of the pump

[LazDude2012]

it might. I generally don't use jacketed wire much. I certainly know you shouldn't conect your wires on the front or the back. Not sure about bottom and top, but I don't se why not

[Mageleon3860]

i've tried top and bottom so it must be one of the sides.

[LazDude2012]

OK then, I suppose. That's where I'd always hooked my bluewire up.

Take a screenshot and post it here, that would help solving your problem

i've done it, i put it in the nether with a thermopile with 3 water and 1 lava obviously and i put the jacket wire next to it with a bit of blue alloy wiring and it worked, Takes a LOOONNNGGG time to get power but... ohh well.

Wait, water in the nether?

Wait, water in the nether?

Ice blocks.

[Kocken926]

Then why not just write ice blocks :/

[Valkon]

The ice blocks melt into water.

[Kocken926]

The ice blocks melt into water.

Just writing "thanks" or "aaaaaaaahaaaaa" could be interpreted as a low-effort post, so I wrote this instead.

[LazDude2012]

One thermopile won't power crap. Try using multiple; I find 4 to be a decent number.

You're probably better off setting up an Ender Chest battery charging system attached to an array of solar panels in the overworld as a source for power in the nether.

unless your server admin has removed Ender Chests. :(
