markgrindcore Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I cant seem to figure out for to transport water from my source at a faster rate to prevent my combustion engines from exploding, the source is about 30-40 blocks away from the end location. Was hoping someone who knew a touch more than me could help me out, thank you in advance for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flextt Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Use Liquiducts instead of waterproof pipes (if you dont already, these little truckers are way more efficient) and use a Liquid Tesseract to teleport the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malawi Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Also you should use more than one redstone engine, and the redstone engines has to warm up before they pump enough water. There is also the danger of chunk-unloading making the pump stop. You should use some sort of chunkloader if the pump is supposed to work unsupervised.

HiFarGone Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I would drop a dimensional anchor near the pump. It could possibly be a chunk loading/unloading issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael101 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 How many combustion engines? An Accumulator with water around it should produce a good amount of water. I haven't used combustions in a long time. I now mainly use an array of magmatics powered by lava from a phased-pipe. They don't go boom...

markgrindcore Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 So i went with the Liquiducts and those are working fantastic but i have encountered a new problem, It seems that the water source that i was using is running dry, what should i hook my pump up to in order to prevent this from happening, i dont want people to log into the server and have the pumps or quarry to run out of water and explode.

Industrial Miner Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Make a pool of water (about 5×5 or 7×7). Don't make any smaller ones, as the pump can suck the water source blocks very fast. So fast, that the water source blocks around it has no time to recreate a source block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voidcreeper_ Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 guys i was wondering if steam engines are bugged or not the ones on my quarry stay blue and push slow but the ones around my pumps change colour from blue-green-orange-orange with red streak to red will it blow up if i leave it on to long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quarry requires lots of more power to let it run. But the pump however does not. So you're getting an energy buildup in the pump engines. Just use redstone engines or the aqueous accumulator instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
