    Powering Magma Crucible without Magmatic Engines?

    Okay, I guess I'm going to be using 2 (perhaps more later) Hoobyist's Steam Engines going into an energy converter. Not the fastest charge in the world, but it works.

    Powering Magma Crucible without Magmatic Engines?

    I'm pumping the lava into a thermal generator, as stated in the beginning, to power an MFE for my machines.

    Powering Magma Crucible without Magmatic Engines?

    I guess that, with the steam engines from Thermal Expansion, I could power the magma crucible with a oouple (being as we're under a forest, so we're not exactly hurting for charcoal). And yes, I'm aware I'm being inefficient still, but...I don't exactly care about a fully-automated, awesomely...

    Well, since from what everyone seems to be saying (that I'm an idiot for using cobble for the magma crucible), and that yeah, I'd like something to be at least self-sufficient enough to keep our power supplies from going down, then I guess my next question is, eschewing bees (though I may end up...

    Powering Magma Crucible without Magmatic Engines?

    Okay, so I'm aware that, according to the wiki, you can power a magma crucible with 8 magmatic engines and, if you're using Netherrack, can power the engines and a Thermal or Geothermal generator at the same time. However, I'm wanting to just use an Igneous Extruder to pump cobble into it and...
