ElohmroW Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Everytime I try to make my water system work with an aquatuner using the new conductive wire it stops and starts for no reason even though I have plenty of power for it. Help? (PS: I've tried rebuilding it several times and also tried using debug mode and also restarted my game several times) Here's my setup screenshots and a gif of the bug:https://gyazo.com/32ce15d2e5d0351fbeee2d6732b39d8chttps://gyazo.com/6f3eca7836658871c566c10f5db72b61 https://gyazo.com/7dd227561cf423bf551ca14c7e5df846 Thank you in advance!

bzgzd Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Only 1kW can go through that transformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooky2001 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Build a battery between transformator and aqua tuner and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElohmroW Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Can I hook multiple transformers to one wire? Edit: I'll try Lifegrow's solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a battery on the receiver end (between transformer and aquatuner) and it'll run no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because like this it runs just fine: I always put one battery after each transformer but don't know why it should be needed it if it can do 4kW.

SackMaggie Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 well you can remove top transformers conduct wire can cover 2k watts adding transformer like that won't do anything and it not a bug (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wire 2kW transformer 4kW but not working... to me it looks like bug or some weird implementation if adding battery helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Flying Fox Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I believe the issue (From what I've recalled said before) is that the Transformer can deliver 4kW, however it supplies it in 4 chunks of 1kW 'packets'. Since the Aquatuner requires 1.2kWs, each one of these packets is not enough to run the machine and thus it does nothing, the machine can only get a single 'packet' every tick it checks. With the added battery into the circuit, the device then just gets the right amount of power directly from the battery and therefore it runs. If I recall correctly, in the past, a similar problem happened with the tepidizer where the Transformer couldn't supply enough power to it which was caused by the same thing. It was just the 'packets' of power the Transformer was sending out were smaller then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
