CreativeBox Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Ok this might be a stupid question, but I really can't find a solution. My natural gas generator is idle, even when the power is needed and it has natural gas available. I already saw one other discussion, but it didn't helped. The weird thing is, that I have two more generators which are working fine. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The pipe for CO2 is it leading directly into the pipes? or have you put a longer pipe before it enters? If it is trying to put it into the same pipe with no buffer pipe then the packets will not squeeze in. pleas epost a screenshot and we can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greggbert Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 It's usually one of two things. Something other than natural gas in the intake pipe or a failure to vent your CO2 properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fury1SOG Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 The bottom right generator CO2 exhaust is directly connected to another generator exhaust, which is not allowed. In your example, you need to manifold the two exhausts so that they merge into the bridge separately. (It is okay to have inline NG inputs, but not for the CO2 exhausts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLance Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Yeah at the moment the gas is not being allowed priority over the pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzgzd Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 When putting new gas into pipes (CO2 or NG in your example) consider this: Also your bottom right pump is pushing against your top 2 pumps. One pump can do 500g/s, pipe can transport 1000g/s and one generator needs on input 60g/s NG. So one pump is enough for 8 generators but maybe you should also add filter to bring only NG to generators because there will be other gas (like PO2 from polluted water). 2 hours ago, Fury1SOG said: (It is okay to have inline NG inputs, but not for the CO2 exhausts) I didn't know that but it really works ok...
