Powering a quarry

[edipil]

For some reason, redstone engines won't power a quarry on my server when they should be doing so. Does anyone know why this might happen and how to fix it?

I believe this was a deliberate nerfing of redstone engines. I'd suggest feeding scaffolding to a sterling engine for cheap temporary power. Or an fast electric engine and a MV solar array.

Use steam engines, you put them next to the quarry and put coal in the engine, then give the engine a redstone signal. Redstone engines don't produce enough power to quarry.

Thanks, I am aware of all those other engines that can be used to power a quarry. I was just wondering why the redstone engines weren't working as I believe they used to work at powering a quarry.

They were nerfed because people started making huge-ass, maintenance-free power grids. I believe power now dissipates once it's inside machines, so the quarry will never save up enough energy to perform a single action because the energy dissipates too quickly.

They only produce .05mj now max is 1mj when glowing red.
