FU Machines and Wiring
Is there a good FU wiring tutorial (or just machines tutorial) somewhere? I don't know if I'm wiring my stuff up correctly and sometimes I can get it to work (I managed to get the communications net thing working); but I have had no success getting the centrifuge to work and I'm trying to figure out if I've got it wired wrong or just not putting the right stuff into it (liquids right?).

Also, where does one find an Unstable Particle?

Should be just red dot to blue, might not have enouh power are you hooking up directly to power generator or to a battery?

Also I don't think all liquids work just specific ones but I'm not 100% sure.

Unstable particles can be made the the biochem lab or if you find a planet that drops matter blocks for 50 of them you get one particle in the extraction lab.

Hmmm, do I have to have something specific to get the Unstable Particle to appear in the Biochem Lab? Or have to have an advanced lab?

On the wiring bit I probably have it wired to too low an output battery. I was using the generator to keep the batteries topped up over night to keep stuff working. Plus the combustion generator is very thirsty as far as that goes... I'll try hooking the centrifuge directly to a panel or the generator.

Should be in the third tab of the biochem lab, might have to find one of it's componens like hidrogen from water in the extraction lab for it to show up.

This is giving me a total headache ...
I just don't understand the logic behind it, I use the latest batteries, I input my power into three of them, I can't connect them in a line because they somehow don't transfer power from one battery to another so I input into all three. They are supposedly outputting 8u, so I connect one to the condenser which drains 5u, fine, then I add a hydroponics tray which drains 2u and the condenser shuts down even though they both should only drain like 7u out of max 8u available from one pack. If I then add another 8u battery to both of them I should have 16u output, but still nothing happens, adding a third one should give me 24u but still nothing happens.

Can you only add ONE device per battery?!
What is the point of the overly expensive ones then if I have to spam cheap ones instead anyway? And why is there no "transformer" or some sort of device where I can bundle my in and outputs for some easier wiring?

Also how do I set up so that my generator uses fuel only if the batteries aren't full?
