			== Fuel Queue ==

			the energy storage description was inaccurate, only mentioning the internal lava reservoir, the fuel queue can hold another stack of 64 lava cells, the previous description understated the unattended capacity by nearly a factor of 4, the geo generator can put out 1,760,000 EU before it needs attention

Macks2010: /* This generator seems to have a major bug. */ added signature tags (didn't know how to before)

	After turning off the lava supply to my generator, I added an MFSU between the mass fab and the MFE. I then decided I wanted to split the wire from the generator so it powered the MFSU directly rather than draining my MFE. I rearranged the wires so that the wire from my solar panals would power the MFSU and the MFE would be independent of the MFSU. After making sure this was all in order (all wires connected that should be and vice versa), I turned the lava supply back on. The generator filled but did NOT start running. I tried applying a redstone signal, removing the same, trying to make sure it wasn't just a one time bug (that is, I removed the geo and put it back), etc. I still do not know what is going on. A few things I do know is that all the wires are connected how I intend them to be, all the pipes are connected, the generator has lava in it, and the electric has a storage unit to go to, I've tried completely logging out of minecraft before saving this talk page topic, and my geothermal generator isn't running. If anyone has any suggestions (other than trying a different spot with my generator, which I'm about to do) PLEASE tell me		After turning off the lava supply to my generator, I added an MFSU between the mass fab and the MFE.
