Assembly Tables and Lasers

[Krysseana]

I'm not sure if this was intentional, or really what's going on.  For the past three days, I believe, the lasers that power the assembly table have only been outputting at 4 RF/t, regardless of how much power they can draw.  Other players on the server have mentioned this as well.  I have four set up at my base, powered by survivalist generators (still early game).  I don't know if it's just my setup, or if there's another issue involved, but they don't seem to run consistently either.  Even starting them all at the same, relative time, I will have one, or two, that lag behind.

I have the same problem, looks like another chunk loading problem.

A temp fix is to either remove all the chunk loaders that you have or go to spawn for a few minutes ( to unload your base chunks) and go back.

 

[Krysseana]

I don't have any chunk loaders.  Aside from going miles away to gather some resources, I'm within a few chunks, while I'm building.

Did going to spawn/ect fix the power transfer rate for you?

Same here didn't have a chunkloader.  50x Lasers outputting only at 200rf/t but taking tons of energy to use.

After i unload the chunks of my base and load them back, the problem is fixed ( not every time, sometimes it does not work).

Lets see what brunyman has to say about this, maybe he encountered the problem before and he knows how to fix it.

[Krysseana]

As you said, it doesn't always work.  And that only restarts the lasers, when it does.  They still don't output their full potential.

I have the same problem

[brunyman]

Can you guys estimate what was the normal rate? and how much was lost? So i can tweak it out

[Krysseana]

I don't think we're actually losing any power, overall.  It just takes a LOT longer.  I measured the input and what was received by the assembly table the other day.

Normal operation, according to the Buildcraft wiki is 40 RF/t, at full speed.  Minimum of 4 RF/t.

[brunyman]

so now it's 10 times slower?

[Krysseana]

Pretty much.  With what I have I'm only 1 RF/t slower.  But those with more advanced setups are 10x slower.

[brunyman]

Should be fixed it was 5 times slower, can you confirm?

[Krysseana]

It's fixed.  Thank you so much.
