[Mystcraft] How to transport ore from an age to another

[ItharianEngineering]

Everything is running at max speed, since this is my test world I just have a bunch of redstone endergy cells feed into it over the rate it can use. The transposer is running as fast as it can, the problem is that it can't get lava out of it's reservoir as fast as it transposes, it seems more like a problem with the machine itself since it auto unloads the lava. I am using the updated thermal expansion and using both the liquiducts and attaching it directly to the valve has not affected the rate. It isn't really a problem, so much as an inefficient setup. Since the transposer can't dump it as fast as it transposes we might be able to attach a second transposer to the system which could increase the overall rate of the setup.

It might not seem like a big deal to most people, since just one of the transposers will supply you with 30 buckets of lava a minute. And that is hard to use up for most people I would think, but it would allow you to be very liberal with how you use your lava. More magmatic engines, more lava to centrifuge, more obsidian, a large geothermal generator array, and anything else one could think to use lava for.

It would be relatively easy to hook up a second transposer to unload in the system as well, given the mechanics of TE machines. One magmatic engine should be plenty to power both of them, since they only draw 2 MJ/tic.

Actually the transposer uses 4 MJ/t at max speed. It has finally hit it's equilibrium of having 58-59 lava cells in the extracting transposer. The transposer in the nether is getting cells just fast enough to put them into the system again.

Well I made a new world with a double extracting transposer setup. Only one is in the nether filling the cells. With this setup, after getting the redstone engines to finally warm up, The system hit an equilibrium point in the nether transposer with it holding about 44-45 cells at any point. This is good because the system is only using about 20 cells at any point in the system. The 2 transposers filling the tank are working wonderfully, at any point at least 1 is constantly filling with both filling it most of the time.

I just took out 44 cells in the nether transposer. The entire system is running on 20 cells with no stopping.

I added 25 geothermal generators to the setup. Since this setup allows for a little over 30 lava per minute, 25 geothermals run this at near equilibrium with some lava gain. The geothermal takes 50 seconds to use up 1000 lava units. This results in 500 EU/t generation for as long as you keep pumping out the nether, and if you have the materials to make a second nether setup that you can put up for when the first finishes, it should have no downtime.

Well it seems after updating my thermal expansion the rate the transposer dumps it's extracted liquid is increased so there is no need for 2 transposers, as it should be getting new cells at the same rate that it empties them. So now everything is working fine with just one extracting, and only 8 cells are needed.

You could break your chest full of ores over a portal, falling into an obsidian pipe that leads to a crystal chest. Works like a charm, but requires manual work

Messing around in a singleplayer world I was able to use a transposer to shoot items into a mystcraft portal and have them arrive on the other side. I bet you could setup a system where a transposer picks them up where they land as well, could be pretty fun too.

Well I.... SNIP

Could you put up a world download? If not, pm me and you could send it via Skype? Really want to see how this works and integrate it into my power set-up.
