I just caught a pegasus! Yay! I'm gunna name her Rainbowdash and give her a nice cozy home with a large toggleable 4x4 floodgate for a roof and
never let her see the sun again unless I'm riding her because the outside world is too unsafe for her!^ I'm sure that is gunna end up in the out of context quotes thread.
Industrial Mod is so awesome.
I just need to figure out how to properly use the new capacitors and the wiring. Any tips from someone who has that stuff working? Would be sweet to set up a bunch of solar generators, wire them up to those capacitors, and let it roll.
I don't tout myself as an expert yet but I have them able to pull power from a souce more or less. And yea solar generaters are godlike on these things. I have two hooked up to one capacitor and it's outperforming my nuclear reactor. Those things are awesome hooked up to something so build and forget like solar panels.
Anyway you need to hook them up to your generator using cables, redstone won't do it. And they only seem to receive power from a cable directly above or below them. If you want them to actually store energy instead of just immediately discharge it you have to apply an on redstone signal to the block.
Also you can only have ONE cable leading into the block per side. One on top, one on the bottom. That's kinda hard to explain, but I guess the best way to say it is that you can't have a cable split directly out of the capacitor. It seems it has to go for a tile or two without splitting before you can split the cable to get multiple inputs. But also if the wires get too long you start losing power to the wire's internal resistance, just like in reality, so try to keep yer wire runs short.
Sadly I currently don't have much experience getting them to discharge into something other than a battery. It's too hard to tell if something's receiving power or not.
P.S. Why the hell do people manage to make my castles I'm massively proud of look crappy? That looks awesome Logical.
