Enderthermic Pump for liquids other than lava?

[Daniel_USA]

Does the Enderthermic pump work for other liquids beside lava?

For example I play 1.5.1 FTB Infinity and have a dimension with molten iron rivers and want to know if the pump will work.

AFAIK it is designed to only work with Lava. And it is default configed to only work in the nether to prevent griefing.

But I doubt you are going to be draining the iron in such substantial quantities that the block updates is going to be a problem. And since it is in a separate world the flowing fluid would only cause fps troubles there(if you suffer from that). So see no problem with just using a good old BC pump.

The ender pump works in all dimensions by default in 1.7 I think, although the config is still there so I could be wrong.

One thing I know for certain is that the pump works on most all liquids now, so iron should work.

I do use the BC Pump but for example:

I have a world that generated a liquid core. It's an enormous ocean of life essence and I would want to use the enderthermic style pump there due to the sheer amount of life force it will eventually get that awful wall of flowing liquids.

At the moment they were expensive and I couldn't afford to make one for testing and I had a BC Pump pre-made so I have been using that.

The reason I ask was because I read a post stating they use the enderthermic pump for life essence. I don't want to mod my configs though.

But if it is not a matter of being afraid of block updates causing lag, WHY so keen on using the Enderthermic pump over the BC pump? The BC pump(Unless this have been changed) can pump out liquids at very fast speeds(think it is 25 buckets per second) from a 4 chunk radius. Do you really have the infrastructure capable to use the liquids faster than that?

 

[Daniel_USA]

The reason is because as the fluid gets pumped it's going to leave a bunch of "waterfall" blocks due to the amount of liquid.

It is fine for pumping out rivers because they are only a few blocks deep but when it comes to an ocean I'd prefer not to have the hundreds of moving blocks and light updates happening.

So I guess for convenience.

I am using an Enderthermatic Pump in an RFTools dimension to pump Deep Oceans biomes of Blood Magic's Life Essence into Ender Tanks (and further storage on the other side). I changed no configs to allow this behavior. I am currently using Infinity 1.4.1, but I didn't see anything in the change logs about altering it.

Edit: One full run of the pump was roughly one and a half Bedrockium Drums worth of Life Essence. That's much more than my needs currently, so I've yet to move the pump and run again.

It must have been your post I read because I remember seeing a barrel and a half of Life Essence and the mentioning of RF Tools Dimension.

I got a planet (dimension) that is a cave system but the cave is flooded with life Essence I can't even reach half way down without drowning. I want to use an enderthermic pump to avoid the moving water blocks from consuming my world.+++++++

Thank you for verifying for me. I will definitely swap them out when I get enough resourced. BTW Did you pump directly into the drums or did you use an Ender Tank?

 

[Dkittrell]

I can also verify the ET pump works on other stuff other than lava with stock configs. When i used it i pumped it directly into a drum

 

[ScottulusMaximus]

Enderthermic pump works on any liquid, I too use it exclusively in my "break the mod entirely" liquid ages

That's how I use them.

I've had enderpumps working on oceans/lakes of Blazing pyrotheum, molten endurium, gelid cryotheum, mystcraft black ink, aluminium brass, molten gold, liquid emerald, liquid ender, molten lumium, molten manyullyn...

Finding pyrotheum/manyyullyn/cryotheum ages early is really nice, but I also have more blocks of aluminiumbrass/manyullyn/lumium/signalum than I'll ever use.

 

[Daniel_USA]

Thanks all! Confirmed!

I have an Ender Tank sitting on top of my pump. For my initial run, I had it pumping through EndsrIO Pressurized Fluid Conduits, but I found the speed limited by the throughput of the pipes.

I have since upgraded my Blood Alter to tier 3, and used primarily runes to increase fluid transfer rates (and a few capacity to boot). I placed my output Ender Tank directly below my altar, and I haven't worried about it since. I realize it may change at higher tiers and with more sigils at work, but for now its fantastic.

 

[Daniel_USA]

What I do is endertank it over with a bc pump. Then I have 2 tier 2 alters that constantly push in 1 stone block each. I use bc gates to trigger a signal when the alters are full. I have about 7 thousand + blank slates already.

I've been doing slates with a very ugly EnderIO item conduit system and a chest. Filter stone in and whatever slate I'm looking for out. I need to make the first one of each type by hand to set the filter, but other than that I walk away and come back to finished product. Its quite functional, but a complete eyesore. I will eventually build an altar dedicated to slate production (speed runes here I come) and likely use a dimensional transceiver to move the essence, stone, and slates to and from the bottom of the altar.
