fallen Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 So, I made redstone engine farm, connected them to wooden conductive pipe and then through stone pipe into power teleport pipe. But the thing is, that it doesnt output any energy. Theres a screenshot: http://imgur.com/ZESSz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakj Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Too much energy loss over the distance. Use stronger engines so there's more margin per energy packet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 It cant be the problem, this is short distance. Also it dont even show the little blue laser thingy that it is emitting power from engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakj Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Stone pipes lose more energy than gold. I've also been told many times (though never personally confirmed) that it calculates distance by how far apart the blocks are, not how many pipes it goes through, meaning the teleportation would still lose energy over distance.

fallen Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 okay, so i made some testing in creative, in this version seriously redstone engines are useless :<. I wasted alot of resources making those two stacks of redstone engines. So what is the best fuel for steam engines? Or should i find some oil use teleport pipes, refine it, and use it on like 4-8 combustion engines? All for quarry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakj Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Quarries should use combustion engines with fuel. If I recall correctly, three of them optimally, but one will work (more slowly). If you insist on steam technology, and you have Forestry installed, use peat engines; Otherwise, use (many) steam engines with coal coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
