How Many Geo's can you fit on to a Liquduct and More

[Jonathan Oakes]

basically i have a question that caused me to create this tread.
How Many Geo's can you fit on a liquiduct with 8 lava pumps?
well that and other over kill questions and answers is the purpose of this thread.
now to answer my own question, i currently have 91... that is alot. but i want to here your answer and about your OP builds.

Geo in a liquiduct?

Wtf

What's your problem? Lava is a liquid, liquiducts transport liquids, geothermal generators convert lava to EU.

 

[Dravarden]

Oh, you said geo in a liquiduct, not lava in a liquiduct going to a geothermal generator.

I think infinite is the answer.

 

[Jonathan Oakes]

no i had to split them... so its 49/49, one row of 7 is shared. so the max amount of geo gens you can put on a liquiduct so somewhere between 63 and 91.

Well, a geothermal generator has an internal tank of 24,000 mb of lava. It consumes 1,000 mb of lava every 1,000 ticks, working out to 1 mb of lava per tick. I'm not sure how much lava liquiducts can push at max pressure, so...dunno how many geothermals you'd be able to supply in a single, max-pressure line after filling them.

Liqiducts seem to function based on the number of inputs vs the number of outputs. Can't give any figures, but if I ran it through a bottleneck, that didn't matter, but having only one input vs 4 outputs had a difference vs having 4 inputs and 4 outputs

From my experience this also varies with the type of liquid you're using

Max generation of a BC pump is 1 bucket per tick. To handle this in a Xy-craft tank you need 20 input's (give or take). Liquid Tesseracts can handle a max powered BC pump. So assuming a fully powered BC pump dumping lava into the liquiducts and the assumption of 1 bucket per 1000 ticks then you can feed 1000 geothermal generators with 1 BC pump running at max speed with liquiducts transferring the liquid... Ofcourse, Liquiducts have a limited storage space, 20 pipes of liquiduct holds about 8 buckets worth of lava.

TL ; DR, Problem is putting liquid into the liquiducts quick enough, not their capacity.

 

[Jonathan Oakes]

you need multiple outlets from a railcraft tank to get sufficient capacity to run them on full thus i have 3 running 112 geo's... yes i added 21 more at 2240 EU/t
