Issues with miner.....

wld427 · Apr 12th 2015

Hello, my first post here so please excuse me if it is in the wrong place.

I am using Industrialcraft2 experimental v 2.2.706

this is a multiplayer 1.7.10 environment on survival.

i just built a miner and plopped it down like i always do. using a generator and battbox to power it. Insert regular mining drill and an OD scanner with mining pipes..... and nothing.

The generator is functioning and the battbox is full of EU.... yet the miner does not do anything.

has something changed in the operation of the miner? there are no beehives or water anywhere near it.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks
Eddie

Redstone signal?

I tried adding a switch on, around and even a piece of redstone in fron with the switch powering it..... still miner does nothing.

I checkt the Source.
There are a couple questions:
Is the Generator constantly running? (The generator which is applied to the Miner)?
How long did the Miner stay?

From what i readed in the source the Miner has now a progress time. He needs about 10 seconds to mine a block... At least from what i saw...

Have you a space/inventory for the miner to place the collected material?

Not Required. If he can not put the Items in a Inventory he just drops them into the world.

miner sat for an extended period of time... like hours.... did absolutely nothing.

I had a battbox connected to the generator and then the battbox was connected to the miner. The generator ran until the battbox was full and then did nothing. To test electrical flow i temporarily stuck a macerator to the piece of cable between the battbox and the miner. The macerator worked fine. So i know the electricity is not the issue.

Thats only an idea. Place the Miner on Top of Stone instead of Grass / Dirt.
Then look whats happen. If that does not help. Try to use a Diamond drill. (Both cases. on Dirt/Grass Staying miner and on Stone Staying Miner)

If that do not work i do have no idea what could cause that.

If the Stone Trick works then the reason is that the IC2 Drill is not able to mine Dirt/Gravel/Sand and co blocks.. At least from Materials.
Because the Drill is only a Shovel and Pickaxe. (In ic2 its a little bit differend)
Shovel can only mine Snow kind Materials in IC2 thinkin.
Pickaxe can only mine Iron/Anvil/Rock materials in IC2 thinking..
Maybe that is the problem...

Going back to this, I've not been able to replicate this, no matter which drill type or scanner was used.

All I can think is that it's a multiplayer only bug, or you were doing something wrong.

Well I am still having this issue. No matter what source of power, drill or scanner used.......

My server admin and i built this pack. We threw it all together and it worked. i guess at this point is anyone aware of a config entry or a possible conflicting mod that would cause this?

( I apologize if the images are too large)

As you can see it is a simple setup. Whether it be by solar or the generator the battbox is full of energy, the miner itself registers as full of energy. It simply does not do anything regardless of standard or diamond drill. Even tried swapping out the scanners.

If anyone has any ideas please let us know we are lost in the sauce.....

PS this is in single player as well as multiplayer.

Heh bugreport on two things i guess.
First miner does not work.
Second: Gui has a bug xD

It still does for me though, I don't see what the difference is between our setups.

That's just the texture pack

Hello,
I had the same problem and I'm not sure if the OP has found a solution yet. For me the texture pack had a bug in the gui. The spots it was showing for the drill, pipes, and scanner card were actually part of the internal inventory. I had to place them on the far left in what looks like empty space. If you remove the IC texture pack and load the game and put those items in the miner then add the textures back in it should show you where to place them. I tried to attach a picture but I'm not sure if it worked.
