Fluids ME Storage Question - Direwolf20

[GrimJahk]

I have tanks.. tanks... and more tanks (including steel storage tanks)... I have more tanks in FTB than I have in World of Tanks...

SO... I came here to ask what the best method (efficiency or cheapest) to package fluids is so that I can store excess in my ME Drive rather than continually growing my tanks. Barrels seem fine but don't work for Lava. If I have to go with a mixed medium, I could handle it, but I figured I'd be better off asking you all in the expectation that you have already solved this problem.

I'd probably use tin cans or something of the sort and then use a liquid transposer to empty them when you need it so you can get the can back

if you have bees especially the magic ones magic capsules are nice. Regular capsules work too. YOu are only limited by the number of bees you have producing wax, set up a cyclic assembler to turn wax into capsules automatically and voila.

Looks like the magic capsules will work for Lava but not the regular ones...

I'll keep that in mind if I get serious about Bees.. so far I've only gone as far as needed to expand my backpacks, so very little magic wax.

But Bees may get more focus if I decide to restart with v2.

For lava, you need to use refractory wax, from the Infernal Branch bees.

If it helps the magic capsules and the void capsules from extra bees hold more liquid then regular cans/cells/capsules/buckets

Yup, I noticed/suspected that and did a quick creative test.

I like it.

Well if you want to go that route the occult comb has a 100% chance of dropping magic wax when centrifuged, and that page tells you which bees you need for it, its 3-6 generations of breeding.
