I am playing on Mindcrack and I have one liquid tesseract in the nether and the other in the overworld. I also have a world anchor in both areas and my tank is not being filled up.

My tank is just stone brick and a value with the Tesseract on top. The tesseract is set up to receive only with no redstone. In the nether it is send only with no redstone.

Do I need the redstone? or do i need to set up it with: Liquid Transposer, Magmatic Engine, tanks, and all that jazz?

keep in mind the default area for a chunk loader does not cover a pump's range, see if the tank gets lava when you are near the pump, (since you are a massive chunkloader yourself)

So I do need to pump them into a tank in the nether and then into my bigger tank in the overworld?

Also are you using the chunk loader or the world anchor (from railcraft)? The world anchor costs 1 enderpearl per 12 real world hours to run in default mode. So if you haven't dropped enderpearls into the anchors, then they won't load the area

Well right now I have set up 2 test worlds one with the Anchor and the other with the chunk loader. Same thing.

Do you have a pump? I ask because you didn't list it in the OP.

Upload an image. From what you say and what's suggested, seeing your build seems to be the only way to assist you.

It was pretty obvious the OP was trying to pump lava from the nether through a tesseract into a tank. My point was, and still is, CHUNK LOADERS DEFAULT COVERAGE IS TOO SMALL FOR A PUMP. The pump follows a lake of liquid out like 4 chunks radius at least, before finding a source block to pump. If that chunk is not loaded, because the loader radius defaults to 1.5 (2), then the pump fails.

this is not true pump works fine on default radius its how mine has been setup since i started the world

Okay here are the Screenshots. Of the setup in the nether and the configs in the overworld and in the nether.

If you need a pic of the tank area let me know. I am currently having issues uploading it to here.

Firstly, try setting it to disabled redstone requirement, so you make sure that no redstone is interfering. Secondly, put the one at the pump to send only mode and the receiver tesseract to receive only.

I had the same problem until I realized that tesseracts automatically output liquid, so they won't output into liquiducts if you are trying to pump liquid out. Basically taking the liquiduct back out of extraction mode with a wrench and removing redstone signal fixed my problem.

^^^That exact same problem screwed me up for quite a while.
Don't try to "pull" the lava out of the output tesseract.

Also, if you really can't figure out what the problem is, you could always resort to an ender tank.

first thing to do is set nether ones to send only and overworld to recive only and disable redstone on both 3 pumps are overkill try just one iirc 1 pump maxes the liquiduct throughput

The number of pumps isn't as important as the amount of power you supply to them. But, from experience, three pumps running on measly redstone engines will not be even close to maxing-out liquiduct throughput. Whatever the cap is, it's tied to the number of connections that the liquiduct has anyway. And even that cap is quite large.

from what i remember the throughput is slightly better then gold pipes and the ammount of connections only effects steam as its a gas and can be compressed

Well the connection thing is super important for steam because a boiler will only output a certain amount per connection regardless of what type of pipe is connected. But as far as I know Minecraft treats steam as a liquid just like any other. (Obviously steam is a gas IRL, but that's not the point... :p )

In any case, that's not going to be the limiting factor when the pumps are only powered by redstone engines.

Try putting the input valve on your tank on the top of the tank instead, and the Tesseract right on top of it (no pipes, liquiducts, etc). It should then automagically output all lava pumped into it in the Nether, as long as the chunks including the tesseracts at each end remain loaded.

Put it on Send and Receive Only still nothing. But I changed it to Iron tank and that works. Not what I wanted but whatever. Thanks for all the help.
