Combustion Engine energy bug/problem
Speiger opened this issue · 11 comments
The new Energy system is very cool.
But something what i think is a bug.
Combustion Engines do not extract their full power when you use Fuel as fuel.
They extract about 200 MJ but the engine produce 300-350 MJ per hub.
I think you should add a pipe which can extract more than 200 MJ or change it that the wooden energy pipe can extract more energy.
Emerald conductive pipe? It would fit in perfectly!

Seconded. I actually thought this was the way it was headed anyway...

How is leftover energy being left in the engine "how it was supposed to work"? There should be a way to get all the energy out, not just leave it there if the engine is too powerful.
Is this at max speed? Because the faster an engine pulses, the smaller the pulses. Most Engines build speed by not outputting everything every tick, making for smoother and more reliable energy transfer.
CoverJaguar. I made a quarry with 5 Combustion Engines. And every of them fills up i lose everytime 10000 MJ (my luck is that i no longer will need engines to run a quarry XD)
A quarry needs about 18 Engines to get the full power request. Because a Quarry request 100MJ
Also i have in my base a factory with 1 refinery and 1 Laser and both getting powered by 2 combustion Engines (thats more than enought at 1.4) But in this version the Engines does not have enought power because the can not output the most energy.
Also you said all engines run under this rule. Thats not true thats only with fuel. Lava does not produce enought energy to overflow the engines.
Ok now some good words else i sound like an .... The engines runs in these versions better and the energylos is lower. What i miss is that you can overflow the Pipes and they explode. I like the chalange to make everything perfect. Buildcraft is on a very good way. ^^
Speiger.
Um...this is how all engines are supposed to work. If this didn't happen, they wouldn't work very well.
Thanks. Now a question. You don't need to add that. But it would be save.
Can you add an advanced Wooden kineses Pipe. This pipe can extract about 1000+ MJ. Because i have an block which produces so much MJ. Release is ready soon.
I also have a recipe for it.
In a assambly table a wooden kineses pipe with a diamond chipset and a pulsaring chipset. And it cost 100.000 MJ to produce it.
Its an idea^^" Or can i add this as a addon to between my mod and buildcraft?
Addons can do what they want, but we have no plans for a better input pipe at this time.
