Like the others before me said: Setup a AE network. Those things are amazing, you can have access to all of your supplies, supposing they're in your system, anywhere!
Oil fabricator anyone? setup a bunch of those and they'll "condenses" your lava into Oil! Then chews more MJ/t with refineries, get bonus profit for making a positive feedback loop with 36 sized boilers for renewable fuel! Man those oil fabs are awesome source of power when solar are pain in the butt to make and take forever to "pay for themsleves". A LP boiler will take about 8 days before you get more fuel than you used then a HP will take you just about 4 days to "repay" itself but a LP take less fuel and time to "preheat".
But it's a dupe, so....
And he was asking for ways to use his energy, not how to make more...
What's with you and this energy duplication?
Maybe because some other energy generations are dupes? Charcoal fueled tree farms are good example and when you get the saplings for biomass then yea you'll sure get more power than the farm is using. Or netherrack quarries fueled by lava comsuming engines and you may hit spots of soulsand for some extra oil fabrication. I was saying that he can "condense" his lava in oil and then use even more MJ for refining then his tank will probably won't fill to the brim until he use the fuel up for like MJ to eu conversion for a matterfab. That's is why I feel this energy dupe is no more a exploit than charcoal fueled tree farms or nether quarrying. (they're all positive feedback loops)
That's not a dupe, you can't take 10 mj and turn it into 15 mj and say that's not a dupe.
It's a dupe. Final answer. Oh, watch out it's going to get nerfed, so you may as well use the "charcoal dupe" or whatever you're talking about.

I didn't said my fuel dupe is not a dupe I'm just saying that duping of power already exists like feeding back more charcoal to make more charcoal. Same idea both charcoal fueled farms and fuel duping via more effective burning is both a positive feedback loop. That mean your getting more power than what your putting in so if you burn 10 charcoals and use that to fuel the farm then as long you get more charcoals in return for those 10 charcoals your's creating a positive feedback loop. So yea I'm just saying they're the same idea and yea I got 268 Thruion Cells ready on hand should they nerf it and hey maybe I may have some fuel left to burn in my to be huge steam house tank then I can also use my solarpanels so I'm not stupid and falling in a pitfall by have alternate power sources at hand. I'm saving up all the power sources I'm not using now for a "rainy day".
There's a difference between using a widely known infinite source (TREES) and using Oil, by definition is UNRENEWABLE. I don't see bees anywhere, so it's a dupe. Making Oil to make more oil is what we call a duplication. If you grow trees and get their saplings, you can grow more trees, which by definition is NOT a duplication bug/hack. Infinite cobblestone? Not a dupe. Infinite oil (remember, this isn't renewable without bees and a few other methods *of which you are NOT using*)? Dupe.
Edit: I also hate when people say "oh i got 268Thruion Thorium cells lol"
I honestly don't care if you're ahead of me, in my world, I have a steam engine, a Pulverizer, 4 double chests, and a bed. Yep, you've got me there. I am in a hole in the ground.

Unrenewable?? it's nonrenewable and if they nerf the boiler itself then most will avoid them for Fuel burning (since combustion is cheaper and more space friendly). But other fuels will still be popular to use unless if they nerf other fuels as well which will only be prefer one over others as efficiently would not be a role anymore. Powercrystal can nerf his oil fabricator if he want to but he knew about boilers so he would probably done it by now if he actually care. Or maybe he know what's goes into boiling and deemed it's okay to permits that. I'll be pumping up this fuel production until they run dry from reduced output or increased input requirement.
What if he doesn't care?
But I don't care if you exploit a dupe, just stop trying to get other people to do it because they'll be screwed when they fix it, because they had no idea.
But it's a dupe, I'm not sure why the fact hasn't entered your mind quite yet, but that's okay, maybe I'll report it in the Mod Pack Bugs thread.

Wow guys, no fighting 
I do think that a "bit" of duping is all that bad, But can still change the game to make it.... easier, But without the process of that (taking raw products and processing them to make MORE resources) Alot of people wouldn't have very good tree and biofuel generators from past experience, i have used sapling + sugarcane in a farm to be processed and put into the Engines, and those engines would power the machines needed to make it all possible WITH profit of it all to get an Iron Tank pretty much full of bioMass. Also, Even with the process, you dont gain that much from this to use it in anything else besides to run itself...
BUT!
i am asking in this thread for ways to "USE" power, Not Gain.
And how i say "use", in the title and first post, i asked for specifically things you guys think is "FUN". Which would be funny contrations or setups that seem cool.
Like i have made just yesterday on my little Bro's Multiplayer Map (Whitelisted) i made a Xycraft tank with magmatic engines (yes, them again) and used them to power EVERYTHING he had in his base and things around the map, with just my small setup. So, I think these engines are just too badass (not requesting Nerf, hehe) and this is gained with a Ender TANK on top of the valve and a Tank at the nether with a pump. And thats it, 2 tanks and 1 pump with redstone engines... W00t!

W00t!I said you could "condense" your lava into oil then use mj to refine into fuel so you can store more mj in a single tank then burn it in boilers later. You can use all the mj you get once you get a matter fab up and running via powerconverters (or any other power needs that is). Another is to run a lot of BC quarries for fast resources with auto ore processing, that'll use up more mj/t. Use AE too for processing then that'll drain more mj/t and make the processing automated unlike any other automated systems.
Thread tl;dr
I just noticed this.
You need to change those conduit connections to the magmatic engines.
3 of them are set to imput into not out.
Wack them with a omniwrench or BC wrench.

As you read a post above the fighting happening, you should see that someone has told me this, also i have told that person, i placed those engines there just to be not clammed in a chest somewhere, so i wasnt really using them...
Don't know what tl;dr means eh?
Then why have them running and wasting lava much less connected?
no, i didnt know what tl;dr mentDon't know what tl;dr means eh?

Searched it up though, "Too Long, Didn't Read". But why not read for the answer of your question, when there is only like... 2 Pages? and ive only replied to this thread 3-4 times, so it woud'nt of been hard to see.But netherless. I have a Iron Tank 5x5x5 and a 12x12x12 Xycraft tank FULL of lava, and i only put them there for a period of time, also i usually turn it off from taking anymore lava from the tank when i didn't need anymore power (when all the cells are full).
You've got Gregtech, set up an industrial centrifuge and get unlimited copper, tin, gold, silver, and tungsten from your lava!
(and a ton more stuff that's indirectly made from that stuff, but that doesn't matter).
