SWGCryand123 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hello. I'm having some problems powering my macerator. I have normal solar panels (Not Low Voltage, the tier below it) and I can't figure out how to power the macerator. Do you put the fibre cables below, to the side, the top, what? Any tips would be awesome! Thanks! -SWG, an avid tekkiter player thingy! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenalia Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 You need to run the solar panels into a battbox, MFE, or MFSU. Then you run cables to the machine. If you are going to set up a factory type auto loading/unloading system for the macerator, then you want the top and side open for pipes. I run power into the back of the machines, but that's just preference. Some people run them underneath because they like to hide the wiring. Good luck. Edited to add: If you use and MFE or MFSU then make sure you put Transformer upgrades in the machines, or you can use transformers. Otherwise, boom.

SWGCryand123 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 Wow, okay! Being the noob I am, didn't even think of the batbox. I just tried it, and it's working perfectly. Thank you very much! -SWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaggotKing Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 One solar panel even with a batbox isn't enough power for a macerator. Hook up a few more solar panels or another type of generator for sufficient power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWGCryand123 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 @MaggotKing, I have done that. I was doing this on my test world, testing it for a multiplayer server. Thank you anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
