MinecraftrGuy Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 I tried to make a quarry using Redstone engines, but I can only get the(I am using 2 on each side) far 2 engines on each side to work. Does anyone know how I would go about getting all 4 to work?
King Lemming Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Stop. Use a real engine. Even a basic Stirling engine is 20 times faster than a Redstone engine.
Euphoreich Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 While I think you can use redstone engine to power a quarry you really shouldn't. Also for future reference you cant connect redstone engines to conductive pipes, only directly into what they are powering.
Calvariae Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Even using a stirling, your quarry would take like 6 years to hit bedrock. Also, I don't think you can daisy-chain redstone engines anymore, nor can you connect them to conductive pipes.
Teraku Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Yeah, Redstone Engines have had quite a nerf, they only work on Pumps and Wooden Transport Pipes now.
Discord Moderator plowmanplow Posted May 14, 2013 Discord Moderator Posted May 14, 2013 Yeah, powering a machine that can use up to nearly 50 MJ/t with engines that produce 0.05 MJ/t seems futile.
MinecraftrGuy Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 I just thought that it would be nice that I wouldn't have to use coal, so I could use it elsewhere. I'm going to continue using sterling engines.
theprolo Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Use steam engines instead - double the output, and all you need to add extra is a supply of water. I recommend using an Aqueous Accumulator for the water supply.
