Machines keep using power
Some machines tend to be "always on" and constantly draw energy from my batboxes that get fed by fossil fuel. It took me a while (and thus many stacks of coal) to find out that these machines keep draining my energy. Some machines that do this are:
- Electric Heat Generator
- Electric Kinetic Generator
Is there anything that I can do that will prevent this, apart from removing the cable? A switch does not seem to work but there must be a way to turn these machines "off" somehow.
Best Answer
you can use switch cable between your power storage unit(batbox/cesu/mfe/mfsu) output and the ones that connected to the machine then apply redstone signal to it to stop eu flow from powersource.
