[40d] Nevermind, problem was my lack of knowledge
« on: March 17, 2009, 04:44:43 pm »

I'm actually not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong, but I built a windmill on top of a stack of three screw pumps. Everything's set up so it should transfer power down... but when I select the windmill it says: "Inactive. Total power produced: 20 Total power needed: 30"

A windmill shouldn't need power, should it? Trying to connect it to another windmill using an axle didn't work, either: the axle was "inactive."


Okay, I figured it out. It was referring to the power required by the screw pump stack... I should have realized.

And then the pumps collapsed because the obsidian mechanisms melted.
