Great way to pump lava

[iRealWilliam]

Ender-thermic pump in the middle, on top you can have any tank. From the tank run a few liquiducts/fluid nodes/buildcraft pipes etc. into lava generators adjacent to the pump. Jump start the generators with one bucket of lava and wuolaa!

I use the same setup in my world, except it only uses one lava generator. I believe I only need to give it a bucket of lava to give it a kickstart and then it's all set, since it seems that the pump will first transfer the fluid to the generator, then the tank, so no need for a transfer node.

 

[iRealWilliam]

Well yeah, unless there's an ender tank on top, you probably don't need nodes.

Lava power is for the noobs.

 

[iRealWilliam]

Yup! Totally agreeing with you. Only total noobs would come to this thread.

It looks good, but isn't it just overkill?

 

[KingTriaxx]

There's no kill like overkill. Technically this is a lot more than you need. And that's stopped no one ever. Besides, it's not like it's hurting anything.

 

[iRealWilliam]

Nahh, one lava generator would probably do, but I had spare ones so

What's more efficent: 4 magmatics or 4 lava gens?

 

[nixhlestakov]

I prefer 1 magmatic dynamo and BC pump, because 1 dynamo cheaper and more efficent than 4 lava generators. Also I can't find the difference between good old BC pump and expensive "lag-free" EU pump.

 

[RedBoss]

EU pumps chunk load themselves, BC pumps don't. Also EU pumps replace lava blocks with stone. This helps with lag since the BC pump leaves hundreds of flowing lava blocks.

Umm this is overkill for sure Im pretty sure it should run on only 1 dynamo but 4 since its possible and no real reason for its is made... xD
