water mill help

[saxman888]

I have setup Direwolf's/ShadwDrgn's water mill and everything works except the buckets stay in the water mills and never come back out to get refilled.

I have the latest version of tekkit running and it says the version of red power 2 I have running is 2.0 p4d.

I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem/ If anyone knew how to solve it?

thanks

Did you follow the video in this thread exactly? It sounds like you might have one of the RedPower machines facing the wrong direction.

These setups work fine on our server, so it's not a problem with Tekkit (unless, of course, you have modified the base installation).

You probably have the retriever facing the wrong direction, or it's not getting blutricity, or you didn't put an empty bucket in the retriever. Double check your setup?

thanks! I forgot to put a bucket in the retriever. I have one more question. I had 12 water mills set up and only 9(only 18eu/t instead of 24eu/t) of them were getting waterbuckets. Just wondered if it had a limit of nine or if I was just doing it wrong. I was using tin cable to connect it to my MFE so distance should have not been a problem.

Are you sure you have enough buckets in your system? I am running this setup with 16 water mills, and I currently have over 20 buckets in the system.

Thanks so much for your help!! Not enough buckets was my problem. For some reason I thought that I could only use 9 buckets in the system.
