1.97 - Induction furnace power usage bug

1st Official Post

    I apologize if this is already a known issue, I didn't see anything after looking around.



    I have two induction furnaces powered on the same circuit. I've set each to remain on and heated up 24/7 via redstone directly beneath them.


    Despite being on all the time, and maintaining 100% heat, they only draw power when smelting an item.


    I checked power consumption both from their power source as well as with the EU meter.


    I'm not using any other mods.


    Thanks!

    Well i tested SSP an induction furnace linked to a MFE with some energy and it really drains energy from the MFE, slowly but it does.
    So it is actually consuming power.


    Rightclicking it with a EU-Reader and waiting a few seconds and rightclicking again shows me about 1EU/t energy consumption.
    You probably couldnt measure because low energy usage/production machines (Induction furnace/watermill) needs some time to measure EU/t correctly.

    Ah, alright. I probably wasn't waiting long enough with the EU meter, but it looks like I also misunderstood the mechanics of the furnace.


    I was under the assumption that they would draw full power, not a reduced amount to maintain heat.


    Thanks!
