Display MoreI've read through the entire thread and I'm hoping I've understood what I
need to. I just wanted to check that the slow electric engine requires
2.5 EU per tick in order to function - is this the case? I tried
attaching one to some solar panels using glass fibre cables and it
wasn't working... I think I attached 3 solar panels which I believe
output at 1 Eu per tick each. Is this all correct or am I doing
something wrong?
Do you use buildcraft 3.1.5?
Did you power it with redstone?
Well I tried it again and used a batbox in between the engines and the
solar panels which seemed to do the trick. I don't know if this is
necessary or not - I may have been doing something dumb the first time.
I was using levers with the engines (both times) - thanks for the suggestion though.
I forgot to mention that I think this mod is great. The Technic Pack may be controversial but after forestry got removed and the electric engines went with them I was stuck using coal coke in a crazy production line that left me with loads of creosote oil I had no use for... so I was really glad to get my hands on these engines. Good job!
