Lava pumping issue

[dprkforum]

I am using the Mindcrack modpack, and I followed a Youtube tutorial on how to pump lava from the nether. Does not work for some reason.

It should be not very difficult, i bet you have only a little bug in it that kill the whole system

First of all, you need a Chunkloader in the Nether.
And of course you need to set the Filter right up. The little hole on RP Machines are the Output and the Big holes are the Input (<Insert Dirty Joke here>). In the Overworld you have to put a full Can of Lava into the Filter and in the Nether a Empty one.
The Liquid Transposer has to be the right Colors. Blue is Input an Red output. The Machine in your Video has a Yellow Output, so you maybe have the wrong Machine?
And the last thing that comes me in Mind, did your Enderchests have the same Color Code?

When this can not Help you, you should post some Screenshots. From this Machine and of you Nether Setup

Here is the nether setup: http://bambuser.com/v/3365682

Your Railcraft world anchor needs fuel to chunkload. Specifically, it needs ender pearls. One pearl will keep the chunkloader active for 12 hours on default settings (the value can be increased or decreased in the config, and the fuel need can be disabled entirely if you wish). So just pop an ender pearl in the world anchor and see if that fixes it.

The colors on the Thermal Expansion machines' sides always correspond to the part of the GUI that is colored in the same color. So a yellow colored side will do whatever the yellow colored slot in the GUI does (usually it is a secondary output slot, and therefore the yellow marked side will be an output side for the contents of that particular slot). Machines such as the liquid transposer that have multiple modes of operation will have different color coding depending on the current mode. Color coding of sides is user configurable in the GUI in each machine, via the bottom tab on the right side.

Your test around the halfway point of the video failed because the ender chest was empty (no buckets to pipe around). The overworld is likely unloaded while you are in the nether because you don't have a working chunkloader up there either, so you're not getting fresh empty buckets delivered to the ender chest.

Spoiler

The Little Hole is the Output, note the Side where this black Line is too. You set them up right

I am currently looking your Stream but it seems you didn't saw my Comment

The Filter in the Nether needs an Empty Bucket, so it Only take the Empty out en fill it.
The Filter in the Overworld of course needs a Full one, so it Only take them out and empty it.

And so on until your Nether is Empty

But so this all works, the side were your an not in (Nether or Overworld) needs to be loaded. Minecraft did not do this for you and you have to force it with an Chunkloader. You have some Options for this, you using a Railcraft "World Anchor", the downside on this one is that it needs Enderpearls. One stack Enderpearls let it run for 4 Day. Put a Hopper on Top and it last for 20 Days. And it loads the Chunk where is in and 1 in each direction. (3x3)
And you can use a "Chunkloader" This one is awesome, it runs without fuel an you can adjust with Chunks you want to be loaded.

(I am using 3 Chunkloader to load my entire Overworld Base. one Big 5x5, one 1x3 only for my Wheat farm and one 3x3 for my Bee HQ)

problem was solved when I placed a full bucket in the filter in the overworld, an empty bucket in the filter in the nether, and a bunch of empty buckets in the enderchest in the nether. Also,an empty bucket was in the contraption with nowhere to go. After fixing that, the problem was fixed. And yes, after disabling the ender pearl fuel, it worked. I'll have to reset the value to reset the difficulty to default. Which is very difficult, indeed.

ETA: I did not know about the chunkloader as an alternative. Thanks for the heads up on that.

your timer was not connected to the filter in your video, hence why rotating the timer made the filter function. use red alloy wiring and red jacketed wiring to connect the timer to your filter
