Redstone engine not pumping out of refinery.
Hattrix opened this issue · 10 comments
- simple tank is filled with oil
- wooden liquid pipe and redstone engine pumps oil into Refinery
- Refinery gets powered by a combustion engine and refines into fuel
- wooden liquid pipe and redstone engine pumps fuel into separate glass tank
- refinery is empty
When I start the process again, the redstone engine fails to fill the Refinery with oil unless I pick up the Refinery and place it down again. Then after it creates fuel, the other redstone engine fails to pump the fuel out unless I destroy the Refinery and place it down again.
Help!
Thanks!
I have a feeling this is a duplicate of this #1162
The redstone engine is pumping but nothing is moving through the pipe this time.

That graphic on the 2nd wooden pipe would suggest that it needs a whack
with a wrench.
That being said, should the wooden fluid pipe even be aloud
to do that?
Also shouldn't Fuel be pulled from the front or bottom of the refinery? (it's turning 4AM here and I am not totally coherent)
The solution to your problem is as finalsliver is saying. Hit the wooden pipe with a wrench so it turns around.
I recreated the setup by removing the refinery and placing it back down. The wooden pipe probably considers the cobble pipe to be a valid tank to pull from. A minor bug perhaps.
It's possible to extract the refined fluids from any side of the refinery.
Thanks for confirming that. 8 hours sleep and I still wasn't too sure.
Hopefully that is this issue sorted then, minus getting someone to look
into the pipe interaction issue...

I just confirmed that it did what I said above. I'll file it as a bug.
Thanks again everyone!
The item you keep calling a pump is not a pump. It's an engine producing a small amount of Minecraft Jouls (MJ). The engine is transferring that fictional power to the wooden pipe and it's the wooden pipe that performs the actual "pumping".
The wooden pipe can be powered with many different components and it has a small internal energy buffer. Even if the component that was giving it power has been turned off, the wooden pipe might still have a small amount of power left in its buffer for it to work with.
You guys RULE! One smack with a wrench fixed it!
BUT ... After I pumped everything out and turned off the pump, I restarted the refinery again. Even though the pump was off, the fuel wouldn't pool up in the refinery but it tried to go through the pipe into tank. Not a terrible problem, but odd.
