hotrods20 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 So, my friend and I built our Rending Gale's and began heading to the End portal. We got there and got the portal to work. We ended up far from the 'normal' End. So we began flying over and I couldn't help but notice the huge oil reserves in the End. Would it be feasible to use this oil and collect it up over time? We want to keep the overworld 'pure' and not have giant quarrys and such. We do want to have oil in our collection without effecting the world and possible using it to generate IC2 power. Questions: Is oil in the End supposed to happen? What is the best way to funnel it out(if possible)?
pantong Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 for oil i guess u would need to make fuel power BC combustion engines convert it into ic power put into batboxes full of batterys that get pumped out and put into an ender chest. Sounds alot more than what it is worth
hotrods20 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 Well, the screenies I take are massive. So, I posted them in my Tekkit album on Imggur. http://imgur.com/a/3SLFD Took pictures of 2 of the oil wells I found. Going to go flying around when I get home later and post some more.
DanielJin Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Though this oil looks big, but actually it's just a small amount of oil, it's floating in the air so it looks big. I would say about 4-6 blocks tall. So don't mess with it, it's not worth doing. Oil appears in any dimensions, including Mystcraft ages.
hotrods20 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Posted August 28, 2012 Dang, well, it does bring up the point of needing power to teleport from one side of the Ender to the other. I might just keep the power in the Ender. That would help cut out the transferring part.
littleweseth Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 The most immediate use for the oil would be to fuel your plans to quarry the End for End Stone. ;)
hotrods20 Posted August 29, 2012 Author Posted August 29, 2012 Sorry for late reply. Yeah, I was thinking of sending it to the Nether to get the Nether ores without the chance of killing me.

Haha, why the hell wouldn't you use geothermal? Nether = Lava. Lava is so much easier to mess with than Oil. Just use 1 or more Geothermal Generators, pipe them into a MFE/MFSU and then into an Energy Link to a Power Teleport pipe and slap your Quarry down anywhere you wish within chunk loading distance (unless you use chunk loaders).
