I have found a few things that seem strange.AC engine, if broken with a core in it will drop 2 cores. also the dynometer shows less power the farther from it I am, and some time different on both sides, this is when hooked differently to a AC engine. I also can not seem to get a AC engine above 4,000kW with the fastest clock I can build, or even two.
AC engine has an ability to run of the shaft cores inside player inventory (you know strong magnetic fields can form electric fields from some distance) and this ability has priority over the core in the engine itself. So you have not to bring shaft cores near your AC engine, when you want power from it and it already has charged core in it. However this is only for player inventory, nearby chest with charged cores doesn't trigger this.
I'm sorry, but considering lack of wiki information on the issue, can I ask what actually wrong? I mean, by my thoughts, my induction motor connected to ONLY ONE induction generator as an energy source of electric current. And hydrokinetic engines produce different kind of energy so they doesn't count. Or I have to use a battery anyway to make all the hydrokinetic engines count as 1 source of energy?
P.S. Sorry if I'm being dumb about the mod. It's just luck of information about it) Thanks in advance!)
P.P.S described setup works in 7f.
Electricraft doesn't allow you to overcome rotarycraft's limits. Furthermore it has some more its own limits to prevent shortcutting. Engines, machines and so on from both mods are trying to find the actual source of the power. So if you have hydrokinetic powering your induction generator then induction motors know that they recieve their power from hydrokinetic engine. So if you have 4 hydrokinetics in a row (common setup) it counts as 4 power sources. So you can't merge more power without using of bedrock shafts and electricraft won't help you here neither. Also you can't overcome these restrictions by batteries, induction motors will still know that they have multiple power sources.
However what you can really do is charging up battery (or industrial coil), then shutdown power (only in case of battery as it can provide and recieve power at the same time while industrial coil can't) and apply redstone signal to battery or coil. Now it counts as 1 power source as long as your battery doesn't recieve external power.
You can ask "ok, with all these restrictions why I ever want to use electricraft". Electricraft shines when it is time to split power. So for example you can easily power up 64 woodcutters at decent speed with only 1 microturbine (with just rotarycraft it could be really painfull)
Ok, theres another question (sorry if I newb): With my 2 induction motors (4x amplifiers) my system runs - ok, but implementing 3rd row of 4 hydrokinetic engines and add 3rd induction motor (so it's still 4 sources to 1 motor) system stops. I managed to trace the problem with the Electric Meter to amperage. At the moment I put the wire to connect 3rd induction motor, amperage in the intake wires leading out of hydrokinetic drops from 48A to 45A, so all grinders stops. I'm honestly doesnt know why. Any help?
Actually your setup should not work even with 2nd row. If you read electricraft book then you know that each power source creates a path to each power sink. So if you have 2 rows of 4 hydrokinetics feeding one network with 2 motors then you already have 8 power sources per motor. However can we see exact setup when amperage get low? Because amperage of multiple sources must be added, not substracted and voltage will be the lowest of all power sources. But if with adding 3rd row you also added more power sinks then it is intended behaviour as amperage(current) is splitting amongst all power sinks.
I can't seem to figure out how to activate the infusions after I have infused myself in chromaticraft. I can open the infusion menu but I can not click on any of them
I guess it would be much easier to show and don't tell) So, heres what I got:
Actually all three setups should be broken, however due the Reika's way of doing things may be his machines are smart enough to realize that the number of sources is a multiple of the number of sinks so they don't exceed restriction of maximum of 4 sources.
The last setup is a bit more interesting. All numbers in rotarycraft (and with it in electricraft) tend to be power of two. But when you divide some power of two by three you get fractions, and all this power numbers must be integers so there is round up process (and for obvious reasons it uses floor, not ceil). So I advise you to use parallel lines if you want to use 3 grinders or switch to power of two numbers to avoid losses in your lines.

I know that it looks like I'm just spamming hydro's to get power, but it's really not the way it was intended to be. Playing rotarycraft for the first time as the backbone of modpack, I'm assuming hydro's as next step after perfomance engine, before micro's and than jet engine. So I planned the base architecture to bear a water pillar for powering bedrock breaker, but it turns out that it's easier to power bedrock breaker with the jet engine, so I decided to use hydros to power jet fuel production. Turns out that my lube production can't keep up with 4 hydros, so being cheap ******* I cant force myself to throw away hydro's and use micro's instead, by that I make another set of hydros: one for lube, one for jet fuel. But 1 set of hydros can't make enough lube for two set of hydros, not even two sets of hydro, can keep one set over. So' I can't fight myself just to give up and admit that resources I put into hydros just lost) Basically, what I'm trying to do is to find any use for my water pillar, becouse getting ri of hydros makes it just useless dicoration.
I just tested 24KW(1 1/2 steam engines) powering grinders to make lube, which more then keeps up with 4 hydros. If you can't make huge amounts of lube with 2MW, then you need to look at how grinders and shaft junctions work.
I found hydros were pretty good for running a tunnel bore.
If you're set for mineral wealth, a second option could be using the chain drive or ElectriCraft to bring the power back up into your base.
If you scrap the hydros, keep the waterfall anyway- you can jump down the hole and land in the water to prevent splatting.

Reika, I may have found a non-crash bug. Not sure though,, so i'll post it here with a brief description of what I did.
I have a solenoid magnet set up with a steel shaft going into it. I am feeding the absolute minimum power from an infinite industrial coil (265 rad/s at 32768 nM) through a North-Up bevel gear. the shift tooltip says the steel shaft can only handle 6,711 nM, just over 1/5 of what I'm giving it. Sure enough, it visually breaks, but it still seems to transfer power. The solenoid keep spinning, and if i break the shaft block it starts slowing down immediately. Tested it with a diamond shaft, and that carries the power and does not visually break.
Is this truly a bug, or am I missing something obvious?
Note: by visually break I mean the shaft disappears from inside the frame.
Edit1: hit post too early. fixed.
Edit2: slight visual bug on the lower-right corners of the rear of plasma injectors. screenshot attached. The shading is reversed on that one corner.

I can't figure out what I'm supposed to be doing next in ChromatiCraft. The available progress unlocks are Broadcasting, Unity of the Elements, and Lumen Storage. Broadcasting requires the repeaters, and I don't have a fragment for those. Lumen Storage requires the item pictured in Unity of the Elements, and I don't have a fragment for that either. I tried putting one of each elemental stone in the outer ring of the tier 3 altar, with diamond, then crystal core, then crystal star in the very middle, to try and make that item since it mentions all of the elements, but none of those combinations worked. I'm seeing posts from other people further along, so could someone give a small hint as to what it is I've got to do next?
first lane says there are conflicting enchant IDs, and between what. Looks to be id 100. I dont know what mods MagicTouch and EnchantMagicDamage are from, but go to either of those mod's config files and do a ctrl-f (cmd-f on mac) for 100, and change that ID. to help prevent this from happening again, shift all ids in that range up a bit. the maximum any value can be is 255 for enchant IDs though, so stay below that.

zero5211, do you have the fragment that gives you the transformation core, it looks like an energetic core, it tell you the recipe needed for unity of the elements.
zero5211, you are going to have to make a few items with the crafting system like some crystal cores or some other items (i cant quite remember what you need to make to trigger the fragment.)
reika, there is an issue with GT6 or Railcraft with Rotarycraft. they both have alternatives for rails and that makes a iron dupe issue with your recycling to iron scrap recipe. can you add something to disable it if one of them mods are present? also with gold rails, and you are missing activator rails for the recycling.
if this is do to the broken version then ignore, I will check later today to see if there is a newer version, but Reactorcraft is crashing without Chromaticraft

Well, after updating to v11 (about a month ago) I had only 1 or 2 crashes due to NEI lookup and I'm not really sure that it were Reika's mods.
