Yokall Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I've started a small quarry and read about how its a good idea to flood it so it doesn't stop if it hits lava. I made a pump and thought I could just stick the end of the pipe over the quarry but the water stops in the last pipe block and doesn't come out. How do you flood a quarry effectively. I don't want to have to use a load of buckets. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangers Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I find the best way is to use a bucket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokall Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Ah I see. My mistake was not doing that at the start. Now I have a massive hole that's going to take ages to fill with a bucket. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangalit Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 You could use redpower pump and grates They do whata pump should actually do, they move the water from a place to another, it's a bit expensive but more realistic and faster Just pay attention because it tends to create ambiental disasters as sea drought :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangalit Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Isn't this a discussion in "general TEKKIT smp"? However if it is vanilla he shouldn't also have the quarry... I'm a bit confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help. No just use a bucket to place 1 source block of bucket on the inner edge of the hole. The derpy water physics will do the rest as far as allowing the quarry to deal with lava. Assuming of course that the quarry hasn't hit lava already. If you wanted to fill the whole completely with water for other reasons that's different.

Xuhybrid Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 On the top layer, before the Quarry has started, fill up 2 sides with a line of water. When the first layer of blocks are dug, it will create a large pool of infinite water sources. Ive not had to fill an already dug Quarry so i don't care to think of a method for you, sorry.

Yokall Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 I found a few buckets of water around the edges was enough to cover the bottom of the quarry and now have a healthy supply of obsidian. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
