How to PRODUCE Lava effectively?

[ThePokepika99]

I'm playing on FTB Unleashed 1.1.0 server and I have a problem.

I have lava pumping station in Nether. But we have had some lag on the server and now owner is saying that moving lava in Nether causes server-side lag. (Don't know if it is true or not.)
And my main power source is lava. Well... Now I can't pump lava from Nether, but I need lots of lava...
So how can I PRODUCE lava?
I want it to be able to sustain itself and create as much as possible.
It doesn't need to be HUGE single machine, it can be small and simple. (I can make many of them )

Thank you.

Nether bees produce combs that create lava more or less.
I ended up with so much lava i didnt know what do with it......

Magma crucibles + magmatic engines produce power surplus if you use netherrack i believe.

Netherrack isn't really renewable resource so...

Tell your server owner about the Ender-Thermal Pump from the Extra Utilities mod. It is a pump specifically made for the task to not cause lag when used pumping nether lava.

Use the Ender-Thermal pump from extra utilities. It replaces the lava block with stone when pumped, and does not need to be over lava to work.. Just near. No flowing lava blocks, and it chunkloads what it needs to work automatically. It will only work in the nether however.

edit - Ninja'd

infinite world, netherrack is really easy to get in very large numbers. renewable, no. absurdly pentiful, yes.

You are worried about netherrack not being renewable, but you are fine with pumping lava from the nether?

It is.

let me quote myself again:

cobble in a soul forge.

corrupted essencee:

glowstone from witch farm

soul sand from sludge boiler.

Blaze Rods (from a T5 Spawner). It needs 8.000 MJ to produce one bucket of lava and you get 18.000 MJ back in the Magmatic Engine.

Demonic Bees. Produces a phosphor every cycle with "Fastest" speed. Two Phosphor + 1 Sand = 2 buckets Lava. So one bee can support 8 Magmatic Engines running at 4 MJ/tick. ... And you get plenty of Glowstones as byproduct.

Mineffactory Reloaded also has the Lava Fabricator, so you could start collecting oil and fuel and turn it into lava, if you wanted.

edit: ive heard its hard to find Demonic bees, is there a trick to finding them?

But we don't have Soul Forges anymore.

It doesn't matter if Netherrack is renweable. ONE minimum size quarry run from the nether at the right spot will give you months of continuous output from that kind of system. Do the math on how long it takes to consume a bucket of lava vs how long it takes to produce. A barrel of netherrack (of which you will have several) is an incredibly energy-dense medium.

 

[PoisonWolf]

Demonic Bees + 1 alveary + X amount of igneus extruders = infinite lava.

It's not even funny how much lava I can make that I had to stop the production of the simmering combs.

I think the forges are still in- the recipe for shards was just switched off

How exactly are you using the lava as fuel?

If its IC2 you could just run a wood fired boiler into a magma crucible with cobble- with large boilers its a fairly efficient system.​

Quarries do not work so well in the Nether in Unleashed due to Natura.

Just use a mining turtle set to excavate.

With a chunk loader it will more then keep up and all you have to do is move it occasionally.

No, what he means is that there's tainted soil and stuff everywhere.

Will a turtle be able to mine TC ores and tainted soil? You can't mine TC ores with a diamond pick.

can mine tainted, but I doubt cob and ard
