Now I notice there's a button for energy storage units that it will do certain things with redstone depending on how it is set. Let me explain what I'm trying to accomplish... because I think I can but I'm not sure...
From a previous thread, I have at the top of a mountain a windmill farm. This runs straight down to a batbox (40 blocks down), then another 40 or so to an MFS. The MFS is hooked up also to a geothermal generator. Currently, I have a splitter that allows me to shut off the geothermal generator. This way, it will drain from the batbox on top first, and then when I notice that batbox is out (the MFS is draining) I can flip on the geotherm.
Now if the batbox can output redstone signal when its full, 1/2 full, empty or whatever... I should be able to wire it so that when its empty, it turns on the geotherm so the batbox can fully recharge. Basically I want it to PREFER to use energy from the windmills rather than only drawing from them after the geotherm is exhausted.
I haven't found any sort of guide / help on wiring redstone with batboxes and such. I cannot get the batbox to ouput and redstone signal either way... I don't think I am doing it correctly... I am putting redstone next to the batbox. Any help or suggestions?
