Hi all! I am very very fresh to this forum and i have been searching on how to calculate Minecraft Joules for Buildcraft conductive pipes. If there's such program ever created for computercraft please help me or inform me. The reason is because, i have made my own powerplant and i want to know how much MJ it can generate. I've included the diagram for my powerplant in the attachments. Hoping for a reply from u all soon. Cheers. Happy Minecraft!!

Posting on the computer craft forums about a buildcraft thing with a screenshot including the IC2 energy meter. Facepalm.

This would be impossible, unless BC has an API for this, I guess you could check every engine and see if it is on and then count up the MJ. But I believe engines can work at a variable pace.

It's impossible I believe because computercraft doesn't do anything with the pipes, so it's impossible to get how much you produce.
