i just found out that Lava fabricators work perfectly with Magmatic dynamos that have 2 fuel efficiency augments. If you put in 1 bucket it will generate more lava and works perpetual.
True with efficiency its nice problem is you need a bank of them to actually start producing enough power to start using machines since the bulk of power needs to be put into lava fabricators to keep burning it up. There is free rf but its slow starting and thus becomes less efficient than say a tree farm that cooks all logs into charcoal that provides power for tree farm and fuel for furnaces and all extra charcoal into generators to produce power for all other things
if you've enough resources, build yourself a maximum sized Big Reactors turbine with 37 enderium blocks and use a lava fabricator with 5 steam turbines to produce steam.
the steam turbines can run of lava, but only lava buckets, so throw in a fluid transposer and you've yourself 24k free RF, not counting the resources to build it though.
Actually you can fix this via the config, which allows you to increase the amount of energy required to create lava. Specifically:
Code:
LavaFabricator {
# The energy cost for this machine to complete one work cycle, in units of 10 RF (i.e., 2 DaRF = 20 RF)
I:ActivationCostDaRF=20
B:Recipe.Enabled=true
}
Just increase that variable to whatever you feel is appropriate.
