Multi-Tank Transfer

[McGuy]

Fairly New to Ftb which comes to the guestion to how would i go about putting lava from my multitank into my geothermal generator. Is that even possible..

Are there any better solutions to getting power.

Ive looked around on youtube to find ftb series for people that are new but have had no luck.

I play on ftb ultimate pack.

did you try to use same type of block that you`ve used to put lava into the tank?

 

[McGuy]

No what i did was manually put it in there so that i could hold more. not sure if it can work that way or not.

what kind of multitant is that anyway? if its Railcraft`s one, you can use valves to put in and extract liquid via pipes or liquiducts. if its xycraft one they would probably work with pipes and liquiducts but i cannot say for sure, cuz i didnt touch xycraft at all

zycraft i tried the liquiducts but not sure if i did it right. How exactly would i go about doing it for power threw geothermal generators.

option A:

1) waterproof wooden pipe attached to a valve
2) Redstone engine facing the waterproof wooden pipe
3) lever next to redstone engine, pull lever
4) waterproof cobblestone/stone/golden pipes to pipe the lava to the generator

option b (better one):
1) Liquiduct attached to valve and liquiducts all the way to geothermal generator
2) use a wrench (omniwrench is a great tool to have) and rightclick the liquiduct next to the valve. this should make a small arrow appear in the end of the liquiducts. this means that the liquiduct is in PUMPING MODE.
3) place a lever next to the liquiduct in PUMPING MODE and toggle it.

Nice. Ty now i have an easy way of getting power to my machines. Option b worked just fine.
