Question about pumping lava from the nether

[Setari]

I actually bypass the transfer of lava to the overworld.

I put thermal generators directly in the Nether next to my lava Pump (Buildcraft pump powered by 4 redstone engines).

The thermal generators feed into an MFE, that charges energy crystals and ships them to back to the overworld once fully charged via an enderchest.

This is achieved with two filters (RP2) and a timer. Simply place fully discharged energy crystals into overworld enderchest and wait a bit, then get a fully charged energy crystal in a few seconds.

I'll have to talk to my friend about this... how would I discharge crystals into machines though?

You can feed them into the bottom of a MFSU, I think, to discharge them, then extract with a filter to send back to the empty ones to the enderchest.

My setup, I did the standard filter-liquid transposer-enderchest setup. But for the magmatic engine, I have it hooked into 2 redstone energy cells that are in parallel. They they send power to the liquid transponder. Worst case is that I need to check on the pump every other day to potentially hit the engine with a wrench if it happen to overload, but in the mean time the energy cells keep the thing running for over a day. Since I need up needing to move my setup every 3 days or so, I very rarely need to intervene until it's time to dismantle and move it anyways.

You're right about feeding into the bottom with a filter, but you need a retriever connected to the same tube to pull it back out and into the enderchest. A filter on the side of an MFSU will only pull from the top slot of the MFSU (or MFE). Same thing applies to the top side of the MFSU (only inputs and pulls into/from the top slot in the MFSU).

It took me forever to figure out to use the retriever instead of fiddling with filters that would never work (I'm a bit new to the whole RP2 stuff).

Ah! That is good to know, I was planning on doing an enderbag charging setup soon. Thanks for saving me some frustration. =P

I know mystcraft portals aren't working for entities, but what about using a railcraft liquid system through the nether portal? Those can pass entities, and should sill work.

Well, I don't like cheaty chests and mystcraft portals, so I'm transferring lava using just railcraft: http://imgur.com/a/ZlvQG

Not sure how chests are cheaty. Enderchests are a part of vanilla and were inspired by Enderstorage. Given the choice of using a near vanilla mechanic which doesn't spam me with noise or a vanilla mechanic which drives me batty with noise, I'll take the former.

How about you look six posts above your own?

How is that different from using a mystcraft portal? Your doing the exact same thing, just using more track.
