Ok so I play on a mindcrack server with 2 other people and we are officially the most geared in the server.
We set up our matter fab with a simple solar grid a few days ago.
Currently our power grid consists of 69 advanced solars, 2 hybrids, 2 ultimate hybrids, 1 dragon egg energy siphon and we just added 64 thermal generators. At first I had 1 nether pump pumping the lava into all 64, but obviously the matter fab drains 3/4 of them completely with no chance to refill.
My question is how could I set this up to keep them all on?
They are setup like 2 "+" stacked on top of rack other with gold waterproof pipe through the center of both.

Can I set up like 3more pumps and send all the lava to the one tesseract or would I have to divide them between different frequencies? I can't put a tesseract on all 4 sides due to the build craft crash bug.

Any advice would be appreciated.

For starters, use liquiducts - golden waterproof pipes tend to be a bit wonky when there are many intersections and machine connections, which ruins their throughput. Liquiducts don't have that issue. In addition, they have a natively higher throughput rate.

Replace every waterproof pipe with liquiduct, and then review the performance of your system again. Until then, I wouldn't make any other changes.

Yes you should be able to put 3 pumps sending to one tesseract. You should also switch to liquiducts.

For my fusion reactor setup I have a tesseract on top of each of my 20 centrifuges which are feed by 3 liquid transposers into one tesserat.
