Ender-Thermic pump not pumping

[gekomees]

Modpack: FTB Infinity
What am I pumping: Molten Enderium
Where: Mystcraft dimension
Situation: The pump has access to energy and has an output for the liquid. I has, at seemingly random times, pumped a bit of liquid. But all the while it seems to not take any energy into it's buffer nor produce liquid. It stays at 0 RF all the time.
What I've tried: Different power sources, pipes, tanks, locations, destroying and replacing blocks, even redstone signals...

I'm obviously doing something wrong but no matter how hard I google the answer doesn't come up.
I know it works in all dimensions because obviously it pumped something and there doesn't seem to be any option for allowing it to work in other dimensions in the config file.

Anybody have ideas?

IIRC you have to change the configs to allow the pump to work outside of the Nether. You being in a Mystcraft age could have caused a momentary hiccup which led to a small amount of pumping to occur.

Try changing that config setting.

You most likely have to add the dimension ID to this part of the config:

options {
I:EnderPumpDimensionExceptions <
>

Infinity configs ship with the pump enabled in all dimensions.

Looking at that pic, I would suggest using an EnderIO energy conduit between the Capacitor Bank and the pump. Don't ask me why, but I've seen that fix odd behavior like this before. If your pump still isn't receiving power, try placing a photovoltaic cell directly on top of the pump - I have a pump set up like that in an RFTools dimension that works (probably not at max speed, but good enough a proof of concept). Failing all else, cheat in a creative RF source and see if you can get the pump to recognize it, then experiment from there.

If the trouble is getting fluid from the pump to the tank, try adding a resonant servo to the duct on the pump, and adjust redstone signal to low/ignore.

Nope, pump works fine everywhere in Infinity... I use it for an infinite blood ocean just fine.

That's to EXCLUDE dimesnsions

That^^

Try a tesseract or engine directly next to the pump and a BC or ender tank directly on top of the pump to test, because I know that works in Infinity.

It looks like it is placed on top of a plank block, can that be a problem?

Haha well done, yes it'll only start running if directly above a source block

Is the IO on the capacitor bank set to push power out to the pump?

Incorrect- ETpumps only need to be placed at the surface level of the liquid, but not necessarily over it. You might be thinking of the old BC pumps.

 

[Gamedin]

would it be the problem of the Openblock tank?
The top layer of tank will no be fill as the fluidduct only connect to the bottom of the tank

I had tried pretty much everything suggested in this topic, except maybe the servo (which might actually do the trick). Will try that if I ever find myself there again. Since it was my first post and with an image it needed to be validated by mod and I didn't want to wait so I filled the tanks by hand. It's not like I needed a huge amount of it anyway.

Thanks for all the help though, glad to see this is a helpful forum.
