The Merchant of Menace Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 my eyes glazed over half-way through, does someone have a translation in english? You asked for it Hey I have 8 oil tanks which are connected together by waterproof stone pipes. One of them has a wooden pipe connected to a combustion engine, which pumps the oil to my three other combustion engines that power my quarry. Unfortunately, when the tank which the combustion engines are connected to is empty, it is not refilled from the other seven tanks The tanks are connected at the top via wooden pipes, and a teleport pipe transports the oil into the tanks themselves, the bottoms are connected via stone waterproof pipes in order to extract the oil Can anyone shed some light on my predicament? :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakachu Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 thanks, MoM. a couple of things: if the tanks are connected at the top, it won't work unless they're full. make sure you have engines powering all your wooden pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakachu Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 hmm if you have it just like that, then your wooden pipes are at the bottom anyhow. make sure they are all powered by an engine of some kind, even redstone works. edit: just watched some more of the video. his setup is flawed. tanks will not auto balance by putting normal pipes between them. if you look, the pipes aren't even connecting to the tanks.

The Merchant of Menace Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 You're an impressive fellow. *Curtsy* As for tanks auto balancing, wasn't that from a pipe added by additional Builcraft objects or summat? The simplest, if least aesthetically pleasing way, would be to just have one massive central tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
