How do I make geothermal generator spit out empty buckets ?

[Ataarr]

Okay, so I made a pretty simple design with a condenser creating lava buckets connected to a geothermal generator. the piping seems fine, lava buckets go into the generator, but they don't come out. How do I fix this ?

You have to pull them back out the bottom. A retriever setup might work. You're better off just condensing lava cells, though, as those disappear when used.

If you're on technic you can use logistics pipes for this kind of setup.

What do you mean might, of course it works.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. It might work if you know what you're doing. I've run into issues with retrievers, probably because I don't know what I'm doing, so I tend to come up with creative filter arrangements, and avoid situations where things like Retrievers and Regulators are necessary.

I just tried that and it's a lot easier than cycling buckets back to the condenser. Plus my four geothermal setup is so compact, with the logistic piping underneath and the fibre cables above the generators.

well you could also use advanced wooden pipes set to emtpy buckets

If you're using BC stuff there's really no reason to use buckets for lava anyway. Just use tanks. You can get very efficient setups with that.
