heavytech Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Im trying to find the easiest way to transfer EU from an MFE generating power from a lava source a fair distance away from my main storage MFSU area. The block distance is a bit away so consider glass fibre or long distance wiring is probably out of the question do the resources and chance someone might stumble onto it and all, currently Im using two lappacks to drain the MFE and bring it back to the MFSU but I wasn't sure if there was a more efficient way of bringing power back and forth considering the materials/risk involved.

Specific Almond Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Dont have your MFE where your (im assuming) geothermal generator is. Either use waterproof pipes and pump the lava to your house, or wherever your energy storage is. Or try using teleport pipes, to teleport the lava directly from the pipe to your geothermal generator that is right beside the mfsu. This is a far more efficient set and forget method. But once you have taken the investment of the teleport pipes it will be simple to move the pump to where the lava is regardless of how far away it is. I know this doesnt answer your transferring EU question, but it does offer a solution to the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a good solution though a tad expensive, 2 diamond gears per teleport pipe so Im believe 8 per pipe and I'll need 2 so 16 diamonds in all I think? I'll have to do some aggressive diamond mining it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbd25 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The recipe for teleport pipes makes 8 pipes, so 8 diamonds makes 8 pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taranis Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If you have a railway between both locations you could transfer the energy with an Energy Cart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakuka Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 You could use a Energy Crystal or a Lapotron Crystal to manualy carry the EU from one MFE to another, they can only be discharged into a MFE or MFSU tho. http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Energy_Crystal http://wiki.industrial-craft.net/index.php?title=Lapotron_Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavytech Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well now Im having a problem with the teleport pipes, every time I attempt to right click one to change its frequency the client crashes on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbd25 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Take a crash report and post it in the bug forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
