  • i dont like solarflowers

    I only had no web...


    ehm this design has no energy lose. if there is a more powerfull design, then only with solarpanes with more then 1EU/t. Sadly this design dont fit ic²

  • Suggestion: Substation

    hi ic-mates,


    first, i wanted to post this not bevor im satisfied with it... but ic is stopped and i stopped working on them, becouse the pistons made all so easy and smal, that i would build a new one.


    To the facs:
    8 inputs (no eu limit, but 3 inputs are reseved)- 8 outputs (every can carry 8000eu/frame - a little bit oversized)
    4 substation connection (this mean 4 more inputs and 4 more outputs with with limited options)


    you can direct every of the 8 inputs to 4 intern lines and the 4 intern lines can power different things:
    - 4096 EU/f battery, which needs one of the inputs
    - 16000EU/f spliter, which needs 2 of the inputs (oversized too)
    - 3 different outputs: 2x4 outputs, they can share the same intern line and a 4x output, but this can only supply one of the 4 outputs


    Of course, the outputs only split the EU as less as possible, but to not overzise (this time i mean the room, they need) the things, i acceptet a bad behavior: on 3 activated outputs, 1 gets 50% of the EU and the other 2 gets 25% of the EU.


    There is a reddust-logic, that prevents the battery to charge itself. if you realy want to discharge the battery, you have to use the splitter. And there is a map in it to show you, where the things are. There is nothing, i want to say about the control, becouse you realy dont want to read that :)


    ehm, yes, like i said bevor, im not realy proud of that, becouse there are so much things, that i could do better e.g.: there is no remote control or a Primary/Secondary splitter or a light from luminators and so on. It is still not labeled at all consoles, and its to big and there is no good lighting to prevent mob to spawn in this building. sAnd it is fully useles, when u think about the time to control or even only learn how to control this thing. BUT ITS INDUSTRIAL PUNK!!!!!! :)

  • Fully automated scrapbox factory

    hey, i build something similar. My attemp is it, that noboody ever need to handle the maschine, but it should be dynamic too. this is the 3rd system, i build and im still not happy with it, but i think, i can show that.


    many thx to moeren86. he build the Cacti farm and that is no funny work.


    edit: i forgot to say, that its cacti powered, but i think, you can read this out my other words :) end edit


    To the machine:
    all is overflow safe. The first target of the cacti is the generator. There are 6 large chest, which can store 8000000 EU in the form of cacti. On overflow, they will distribute the scrap factory and then to a block of lava to destroy it. Of course, you dont have to wait for overflow, to supply the scrap factory. to run the system at 100%, there are 2 filler in the cobblestone fatory. The generator itself has a storage of 300000EU, which can emit 256EU/frame. the 8 million eu cacti storage can be transform to real EU with 3 generators. there are 3 free outputs to use this energie with other machines. oh, and the scrap factory is able to power itself and the cobblestone factory doesnt need energy.


    To discribe the capability: 3 or 4 people can eat from the system in automatic mode. But this depends on their skill to prevent damage ;). Running the Cobblestone factory (its automated too, but needs so much cpu that i only run the system full, when nobody is in the near) the system will output 2-3 scrap boxes per minute.

  • i dont like solarflowers

    hi ic-mates,


    i dont like solar flowers, but i never see videos or pictures of other setups... so i thought, i post this here. You can set 50 of these things in one row and you will get 2000 eu out of 2000 solar panels without any energy lose. but only, if this works. Perhaps my idea doesnt work like i think. in this case, pls tell me.

  • Question: calculation range

    i thought that too, but when i load my world, there is still current on the wire and i was about 530 blocks away from the HV-transformer. But this transformer was createt by MC-Edit. with a ingame placed transformer i only tested about 300 blocks... am i not far away enough?
