Caravaneer546 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I tried using a redstone engine, and it didnt start. I tried levers, torches, and dust all powering it, but it didnt work. I went in CM on my other world, and it worked. Plz halp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkon Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 What are you trying to power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravaneer546 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 My pulveriser. It worked on another modpack, I see no reason it shouldn't here. Should I use a universal cable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkon Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The modpack it worked in is probably an earlier version of TE. Redstone Engines in Big Dig/Tekkit produce something along the lines of .01 MJ/t and IIRC can't power anything but the various wooden pipes, with the exception of the wooden conductive pipe (which prevents massive arrays of redstone engines being used to power stuff). You'll need at least a stirling engine to power a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravaneer546 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Wow, 0.1 MJ/t is soooo underpowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkon Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The reason is to encourage people to build better engines instead of giant arrays of Redstone Engines. Personally, TE Steam Engines are the lowest tier of MJ producer I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivacity Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Redstone engine are a cheap method of powering pipes. Wanna know what's op? Building a bunch and having an infinite power supply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building a bunch and having an infinite power supply Thing is, it's not even that hard to get infinite power with better engines, it just requires a bit more involvement (i.e. building the setup to produce the fuels). It's like how the solar arrays from IC2 used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like how the solar arrays from IC2 used to be. Well yes but these require more expensive parts and maintenance. Plus there's always the chance something goes wrong. I had a Magma engine hooked to a pump and a tesseract and every week or two I have to move the pump because I run out of lava. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkon Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I was more going along the point of people usually seem to rush towards whatever is the absolute easiest. I don't care about things producing infinite of other things as long as it's not a place-and-forget block or something like the EE2 condenser flowers.

It took the guy about 2 hours to make one red matter with a very tiny one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caravaneer546 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Although, should my engine even be running? It isn't showing that it is on by moving its parts or whatever it moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
