Line 61:

The '''Muffler Hatch''' gives a bonus reduction to pollution output and determines the percentage of waste gas recovered for some recipes. By default an LV Muffler Hatch has no reduction or gas recovery, but is still required to successfully form the multiblock. A [[Portable Scanner]] will show the current pollution reduction afforded by the Muffler, or look at the tooltip in [[NEI]].

The '''Maintenance Hatch''' is where any [[#Maintenance~~|maintenance~~]] issues need to be addressed. There are no tiers for this block.

The '''Maintenance Hatch''' is where any [[Maintenance]] issues need to be addressed. There are no tiers for this block.

Each '''Energy Hatch''' accepts up to 2A of its tier. Since even the most basic EBF recipes require 120 EU/t, it needs to be supplied with 4A of LV to reach MV energy tier. If there's even a single [[#Maintenance|maintenance]] issue, the EBF can still run but will need three LV Energy Hatches accepting a total of 5A of LV power. Fixing any maintenance issues promptly is far less costly in the long run.

Line 77:

=== Maintenance ===

Like all multiblocks, when first formed the EBF will have a full suite of [[Maintenance]] problems, and maintenance problems will periodically (but rarely) pop up after that. These require tools to fix; a Hammer, Wrench, Soft Mallet, Screwdriver, Crowbar (GT, not Railcraft) and Soldering Iron. If you do not have a soldering iron, you can run the EBF with one maintenance problem not fixed, but will need three energy hatches.

[[File:EBF maintenance.png|thumb|right|Maintenance messages.]]

The controller will display messages if maintenance is required, along with **HAS PROBLEMS** in red when the [[Waila]] tooltip is checked. Five of the six maintenance tasks are done with basic tools, while the 6th requires a Soldering Iron. Alternatively, [[Duct Tape]] can be used to fix all of them at once. If you do not have a soldering iron, you can run the EBF with one maintenance problem not fixed, but will need 3 energy hatches.)

To maintain your EBF, tools must be used on the Maintenance Hatch. The controller's GUI will have a list of the maintenance problems. When first built, the EBF will require all maintenance to be done, and maintenance problems will periodically (but rarely) pop up after that. The "Better than Duct Tape" quest has a list of all the maintenance problems and what tools fix them. Open the Maintenance Hatch GUI and click on the slot in the center with the appropriate tool. The IC2 [[Tool Box]] can be used to hold multiple tools and use them all at once by right-clicking the Maintenance Hatch exterior.

The "Circuitry burned out" message is the hardest to deal with. It requires a charged Soldering Iron with at least 10k EU and soldering material; tin, lead, or soldering alloy fine wire or rod. Tin fine wire is recommended, as it's easy to produce and commonly available. The rest are easy, and only require a small amount of durability from an appropriate GT tool. Alternatively, duct tape can be used on the Maintenance Hatch to fix all 6 problems at once.
