Redstone Engines will not start!

[Marhiin]

Please help! The redstone engines won't power at all by any redstone powersource. The rest of the engines work fine, but the redstone just won't start pumping.

screenshot maybe? wait a few secs? you could you know give more infomation...i don't know if you know what that is though

[Marhiin]

right, but i dont know how to upload a screenshot. The thing is, when i plonk a redstone torch or a lever and such, the redstone engines doesn't animate or power the quarry. Appearanly they do heat up, i found out by leaving my server on for the night, but the quarry remained untouched.

I don't think redstone engines provide enough energy to run a quarry. Try using steam or combustion engines.

they don't....unless you have like 360 of them...

well that might be it. I found out the redstone engines can power miningwells. But is this a change in Buildcraft? Couldn't they could power the quarry before?

Seriously, redpower engines are good for powering wooden pipes to pump items/liquids into a pipe network, or using 4 to power a pump.

A quarry use a hell of a lt of power. Use a steam engine if you want to keep it basic.

They can, but they only provide 1 MJ per "stroke". You're better off using Stirling Engines (They're called Steam Engines in Tekkit Classic and Technic 1.2.5) as all-purpose engines.

Great, thanks!
