Help needed for Mass Fabricators/electrical System

    I need some help with mass fabricators and MFSUs..


    I have 22 Mass fabricators which are powered by this Solar Farm (11k solar panels)

    I use solar flowers with 13 per flower. I have a MFSU every 2 solar flowers.


    This is the wiring to the mass fabricators in my factory. Each wire contains EU from 4 rows of 18 solar flowers which is around 500EU/t

    Each of these wires supplies 2 MF's. As seen here.

    There is a MFSU ontop of a MF for when night time is about.


    I don't want them running 24/7 as my storage space would run out pretty quick.. I have placed levers on the sides of the MFSU which stopped EU from being transmitted to the MF's but once it was full, it began to supply power to MF's.


    Any help on how to stop MF's from creating matter without breaking cables (Which I've done in the above picture) would be great.



    P.S If you guys want, I can take SS's of my entire factory and storage system :P None of which are completely done yet still in the creating power sources still :P

    Since it's completely TMI'd, why don't you just use reactors?


    As for solars, I'd use 8 8x4 compact arrays to power up one fabricator via one MFSU. The whole 5x5 8x8x4 array will take up 80x80 blocks. You will be able to place mass fabs anywhere in the middle under the array.


    And another thing - use only fibre cables at 512EU/t with max length of 39 blocks to avoid any loss.

    I"m attempting to make a power system where I don't have to worry about power creation. I just set it up and leave it at that. With Reactors, I would have to check it every so often to replenish the cooling cells etc.


    The furthest cable from a MFSU to the MF's is losing only 5 EU which isn't a great loss.


    I have the Mass Fab's in a building with Buildcraft pipes connected to them to suck them away to storage.


    I may end up using some of those solar flower rows for machines etc. But I'm currently building roof's with solar and wind generation.



    This is my map where I am creating a huge amount of Quarries and just a general massive factory floor (310x330 I believe).


    I leave my other legit play for my other map.

    dont forget scrap to fuel your mass fabricators they increase matter production/energy efficiency about 2500 times
