When i played on the beta version of FTB, the Thermal Expansion's Netherrack to lava in the Magma Crucible was lower. So i could use Electric Engines to make lava for Geothermal and it made more then it used.
When i started to play on Direwolf20 pack i quickly notice that i could not do this anymore so it took me a while to fix the loop.
Its easy, just do this:
How it works?
The Magmatic Engine makes a little more then 16000MJ per lava Bucket (or 1000mB).
Magma Crucible makes ~<2000mB.
All the lava get sent in to the engine.
The Gate looks if the engine has space, if it do its on else its off.
If the Gate is On the Iron pipe block the path for the lava.
If the Gate is Off its open up.
This do so the lava that don't fit in the Engine get sent to a tank or a Geothermal (or something else).
Note: The Redstone Control in the Engine need to be off.
Minimum Requirement:
1 Magma Crucible
1 Magmatic Engine
2 Cobblestone Waterproof Pipe
1 Iron Waterproof Pipe
1 Cobblestone Structure Pipe
1 Gate
I like to make a Netherrack loop with pipes and a barrel so it always full with Netherrack. Getting 100 Stack of Netherrack only takes a few minutes and can keep this running for a long time and that makes it an ideal fuel source.
Note: I am not the best Minecrafter and there is always room for Upgrades. Next step is to figure out how to make it an Array.
