Jekanl Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The wiki says that a pump with 4 redstone engines can power 14 strainers. But I have a group of 12 water strainers that are flickering on and off, which I assume would mean that they're not getting enough water from a single pump. Is that the case, or is there some quirk I'm missing here that makes them give off the full 2 eu/t, despite flickering on and off? Is the wiki wrong, or is it some other factor (maybe the design of the pipes carrying the water) that's making this not work? Was going to provide a screenshot, but imgur is being unfriendly.

Jekanl Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 Is the Water Strainer supposed to stop producing power if the storage unit it's attached to is full? Mine seems to have done exactly that, which may explain why it was flickering before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolf hamster Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 check the piping, the way it works is by 'splitting' the water from the pump, if the water is below a certain level then it'll pulse instead. its easy to see if you look at the water flowing in the pipes.

Industrial Miner Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The problem is that not every water strainer is getting enough water to run at full speed. The problem is 1. the stone pipes transport water very slowly, use golden pipes. And 2. the redstone engines aren't pumping at full speed. Try placing the water strainers very close to the pump, lowering the distance between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
