Outta curiosity, is an Enderthermic Pump the best way to drain the nether? How well would an upgraded Thirsty Tank perform in the same scenario? (Assume Guzzler upgrades, or whatever the speed upgrades are called)
Also if i calculated it right, a Ender Thermic pump must be moved about every 12h to supply a single LHE with enough Lava to make SHS. And moving a pump absolutely can't be automated.
I'm not sure, but its possible our thorium reactors kinda suck for heat output. U235 reactors may be better for this and not require 4 of the things.And 1 Nether pump every 12 hours is trivial compared to the time and planning (brainpower) required to gather resources and build a comparable IC2 pressure vessel reactor setup (i.e. 4 reactor's worth) - ignoring the nuclear fuel gathering/processing time costs.

Also Blood's hellbent on buffing IC2 reactors
I calculated with that half the max is enough for SHS, so 3000EU/t for 12h. This is considering that the enderpump has a full 10 block deep lava lake. Usually there are some areas not so deep, so it is likely less.By SHS, I'm assuming you mean 2000mB/t of SHS, which means ~6K EU/t. That's still an astounding amount of power for Nether lava.
The turbine outputs ic2 eu so you need a gt transformer.What to do? The Gregtech wires are not connected to Steam Turbine from Railcraft. Or may be others you want to connect? How to connect wires?

Who loved the RedPower2 frames?
It would be awesome to have the frames in Infitech2.
Funky Locomotion is the mod that adds those frames so everyone who wants to have frames -> https://github.com/JasonMcRay/InfiTech-1.7/issues/341.
Btw it was possible with redpower2 to make something that can go into every direction (except up and down).I like to build a black hole of sorts using AE2 annihilation planes on frames in an omnidirectional cube. I can send the cube anywhere in any direction and it will eat everything. this only became possible when the annihilation planes, cables and funky locomotion covers became multiparts

Somone once build that on the server and I saw it
Do you plan to make a panic room inside that black hole frame machine? (dont forget the security station so nobody else can go inside xD)
Oh thats a big missunderstanding ... I know that we can move them in every direction but I mean I saw a mining machine that could dig tunnels north, east, west and south.I built it too. It was my mobile lava world pumping station when I used to abuse lava power
I built it in a solid cube; the engine components that is, with my pumping/logistics station on top. It could move in the cardinal directions and it was compact.
I gotta give credit where it is due though, I did not come up with this design I ran across it while researching what this whole frame things actually was:
The IC2 teleporter worked for me. I used it to transport items to my base before I knew about enderchests ;DNo panic room for me... I only play with friends on a personal server so an "attack" or raid, I am not concerned about. I will of course have a way to get inside. Likely teleportation, but it is tricky on frames. Most teleportation blocks don't like being moved

This here is an early version of my frame quarry (didnt make videos for the better versions after that).
Oh didn't notice it was private Now you can watch it.Video is private.
A boring machine that can mine in mutli directions before covers would be a sight to see It would have to retract the sides that are 90 degrees off from the direction of travel or it would get hung up. I never tackled that problem myself. The complexity there is something else altogether.
Oh didn't notice it was private Now you can watch it.
As far as I can remember it didn't retract anything but rather than moving in a straight line it dug a tunnel that was wider than the machine itself with the help of a computer and some complicated moving to the sides and back and forth.
But sadly I did not fully understand it at the time I only knew it worked^^
I build the quarry when redpower2 didn't have the tubes inside frames so I had no choice but to move the block breaker to the sideNice saving on materials; the block breakers. Back then I made a wall of them instead of the back and forth motion.
My tunnel bore could only move forward. It was a 16x16 wall of blockbreakers. The bore would place torches for me on the walls as it went, had the portal gun teleportation thingy, the item handling logistics as well as the blue power battery logistics.
