Question upon infinite liquid (lava, possibly water) And EU stacking.

[noobapalooza]

Is it possible to do with tekkit? And how?

(I looked around but got no solid answers tried a 3x3x1, but it didn't work.)

Also electricity can you stack EUs? Or does each machine produce a individual EU packet.

Example, can you stack an infinite amount of watermills to a tin cable without wasting anything? (not counting distance dissipation of EU)

With regards to infinite liquids, only water is infinite. You can achieve this by creating a 2 by 2 (4 blocks in a square) and adding a water source block (bucket of water) to opposite corners) You can then remove water from anywhere in the pool and it will be replenished.

Like so...

X X X X

X W X

X W X

X X X X

X = 1 Block high wall

W = Water

I have no clue about EUs...

you need a 3x3x1 of water though if you're pumping from it.

I had tried in the past with methods for lava but they always failed. You can do a 3x1x1 for water only taking from the middle as well.

Thank you.

In vanilla Minecraft, there is no way (as far as I know,at least) to duplicate lava as easily as you can water, as the code for lava doesn't allow 2x2 pools of lava to regenerate themselves.

However, in Tekkit, one can use Equivalent Exchange to simply duplicate it. There may be easier ways with other mods, but you can generate buckets of it over and over as long as you have an Energy Condenser connected to an Energy Collector. Just put them beside each other, give the Collector some light (glowstone directly on top is preferable) and place one bucket of lava in the target slot of the condenser. There are way more efficient setups if you want to duplicate items, but the Equivalent Exchange wiki can help you out with those.

For your electric question:

A cable can transport an unlimited number of packets at the same time, as long as each individual packet isn't bigger than the maximum allowed packet size for that cable.

Example:

A 30 blocks long Tin Cable (5 EU/packet max) connects to a BatBox. Along the whole 30 Blocks you have Solar Panels (1 EU/packet). The whole 30 EU/tick will wander without problems or loss to your BatBox, since none of these individual packets is bigger than 5 EU.

Now you connect a Recycler to that 30 block line, which uses 1 EU/tick. This Recycler will work away happily.

Now let's stick that Recycler on the output side of the Batbox, connected via Tin Cable. Result: The Tin Cable explodes, because the BatBox tried to pump a 32 EU packet through the cable, although the Recycler only needed 1 EU. With a bigger cable, the 32 EU packet would be sent, 1 EU taken via the Recycler and the rest of 31 EU would be sent back (all this calculation would happen in the same tick).

You can create infinite lava via Redpower Deployer and a Volcanite Amulet from EE. Or just the Volcanite Amulet, really.

There is a mod for infinite lava!
