  • [Suggestion] Status messages for "Miner"

    Hello,


    what about adding status messages to the miners? For example if he hit the ground there's a message in there ( or on a monitor ) which says "Hit bedrock" or if he hit lava...


    Why this idea? Because sometimes I don't know why he stopps, and then I have to dig down, check the pump etc. and take a look ( which is a bit annoying, because Miners are usually there too prevent this )

    EDIT: Just wanted to add some examples. The status message can be like "Digged x blocks down / x blocks left", "Hit bedrock / Done", "Hit lava / water, pumping...", "Just found some IRON, taking it...."


    EDIT 2: If it's not possible to use text (whyever), you can even use pictures like here (lava picture if hit lava etc.): http://i46.tinypic.com/2lm49py.jpg

    Unfortunately it is not possible to destroy a MFSU and have it keep its energy, although if you want to pick it up you can use a wrench or an electric wrench . Your setup looks alright, however once you convert down to lv you should probably be using copper cables as they can handle up to 32 eu per packet and they have much less eu loss per wire

    Okay, thanks a lot again! But one question - if I try to pick it up with a electric wrench ( right clicking ) it chances the side where the dot is but it don't drop. Do I have to destroy it with left click?

    I was saying it would most likely not work with a geothermal generator, the 45 block distance along with the energy loss of 1x gold insulated cable makes the math work out perfectly to where that is the exact distance that no eus would continue to transfer, how much gold wiring do you have connected to that mfsu? If it's 72 with the addition of the 45 cables that you connected to the electric furnace, then you should 2x insulate the gold wiring, switch to insulated copper cabling, switch glass fibre cable, or use a network of transformers along the way to deal with the energy loss from the 1x insulated gold cable

    Hi,


    I sent send you a screenshot how it looks. I used gold cable before ( on the top ) instead of HV cables. BUT it seems to work now with copper cables


    Thanks a lot!


    EDIT: I just got one question -> is it possible to "destroy" the MFSU so that you can take it and place somewhere else?

  • No electricity after some blocks

    Hello,


    I'm currently using an MFSU. I tried to give some of my friends energy so they can use it too, but after some metres ( about 45 blocks ) there's no electricty more so the cable doesn't come to their home because they'rer a bit far away.


    Is this a bug? Because my English is so bad I tried to do a video to make it more "understandable":

    And if that's not a bug, how can I do it anyway so that my friends get their energy?
