@Unionhawk Good thing @Yuuki doesn't live here.

What in buildcraft allows you to interrupt an energy pipe using a redstone signal, should you desire to not allow power to go through?

Are gates used for that?

Hmm no

I don't think so

I don't think there is a way in vanilla buildcraft

@TimPost buildcraft addons had a valve type pipe

@TimPost Gates are used for sending a redstone signal when certain conditions are fullfilled IIRC

@Arperum Or pipewire signal

That's what I thought. The only off switch is to cut the redstone signal to the engine. Fortunately, I'm using power converters, and EU splitter cable is rated to 8192 EU/t :)

with TE you can shut off the cell that you use as buffer

IIRC, the default setup is to have gates monitoring an energy storage unit, one sending a signal when it's below some value (50% or so), one when it's nearly full or full, and have the machines turned on/off depending on signal combination.

I'd have to check if it is vanilla BC though.

but now vanillay BC has a gate condition of power requested

Yes, that's so engines can come on as needed. There's just no way to prevent energy from flowing through a kinesis pipe at an arbitrary point. Strange no one has needed that ....

Well, Additional Buildcraft Pipes had that since ... 1.2.5 or so?

@MartinSojka but is it update and in the current version?

@ratchetfreak github.com/da3dsoul/Additional-Buildcraft-Objects-Mod/tree/… - this seems to be the most current iteration of the mod.

No ready-to-use build though, it seems.

oi

Dear @Dinnerbone: I want a way to seperate my savegames across launcher profiles, so I don't accidentally open my snapshot world on the forge profile (or vice versa). Thanks, @Uni

@Unionhawk You can already do that. Edit Profile -> Game Directory. Use one per mod-pack.

@MartinSojka ...

Why did I not think of that?
