Talk:Engine Generator LV/@comment-65.60.214.154-20121110000307

I have found that there is no use to using conductive pipe and redstone engine farms to create power. The redstone engines produce so little power, that pipe only makes things worse. Run the redstone engines directly into the engine generators. I have made a very compact 7x7x3 array that is very effective without teleport pipe. You will need 21 redstone engines, 5 engine generators, 9 redstone torches or signals, and 8 Glass fibre cable. You can mirror it vertically to increase power. It is never fun getting instructions without pictures, but I used to train soldiers, so this should be cake.

Redstone Power Flower

LVL 1: Base lvl

Place a RE (redstone engine) on the base lvl with a single torch to power it at one of the compass points. Leave 2 blank spaces between the central engine and the ones that will be placed at the N S E W positions. Place a redstone torch at the extreme NSEW position of the newly placed engines(facing up), opposite the original engine. From E to W, N to S, it should now be 7 spaces with torches.

LVL 2: Core

Place a lv engine generator on top of each pump at the 4 compass points. Place 4 redstone pumps facing each generator at the four compass points, relative to each generator. This will leave an empty space in the center(with 4 pumps facing away), above the single redstone pump. Place the last generator on top of the single pump. There should be 4 empty spaces at the 4 diagonal points of the central generator-place the last 4 torches there(may need spacer blocks to place them on).

LVL 3: Power lvl

Place a batbox over the central generator, with the output facing up. Use the 8 glass cable pieces to connect the top of the 4 remaining generators with the 4 remaining batbox inputs.
