Water hole

[DraigoDragon]

Uh... ok

All right a giant hole,,,

 

[Dravarden]

Its a buildcraft water well.

more pointless than ekzwhycraft.

 

[Saice]

Odd... either a bugged out oil spawn.

Or if on a server it might be the left over of someones IC2 mining hole.

Either way still old the water looks MCEdit cheated in as it has not spread.

 

[Dravarden]

3 times wrong:

I generated my world 3 times and in the same spot it generated

I don't have IC2

and if there is a block underneath it spreads like that.

more pointless than ekzwhycraft.

XYCraft isn't useless

 

[Dravarden]

Useful is, pointless also.

 

[Lambert2191]

I don't subscribe to your view on what is pointless then

 

[WatcherInTheShadows]

A minecraft version of Mell's Hole?

It's from Buildcraft. I haven't quite figured out what exactly the point is, but I have heard talks that it is supposed to be an endless water source for a pump. As in, it goes all the way down to bedrock, and the final bottom-most sourceblock constantly refreshes itself. Place a pump over the hole, and it will be able to pump water forever with no worry about lag preventing sourceblocks from reforming in a pool or similar things.

That said, I only saw this being discussed. I have not tried it out.

 

[vineet]

Well, now you have some extra water!

 

[tehBlobLord]

I believe its an infinite water pool in case you have the GT config that disables the 2x2 infinite spring.

It's more because pumps in normal infinite water are unreliable water source for combustion engines, sometimes they will dry out for no apparent reason. I don't think that there is so big necessity for it, because with better autarchic gates and emerald pipes you can cool down combustion engines using dispensers without any troubles.

I don't think that there is so big necessity for it,

You know becuase no mod should offer alternate ways to do things.

Well, I wasn't comparing it to other mods, only to vanilla + BC. I must test if it is possible to pump and transfer full 1 bucket per tick. 4 golden pipe is only 0,32 B, but maybe with tanks/tesseracts it could be bumped up.

I was not comparing it to other mods either. I personaly like the idea of a signle mod having alternate paths and options within it.
