Pump and oil

[Zleubb]

Hi everyone !

I don't know if it's a bug or not so i'm asking first but when i try to pump some oil, the pump dont request any power and just stay there, useless. It works fine on water with buildcraft and thermal pipes. Is there something i dont know ?

[Calvariae]

Is this 'oil' slightly transparent and in a pool on the surface; if it is, that's not oil it's sludge. I don't believe the BC pump can handle either sludge or waste (brown liquid). If this is actually oil, then post a screenshot so I can get a better idea of what's wrong.

[Zleubb]

I didn't confuse it, i've tried on three differents fluids, there's only water being pump. Here is the screenshot, setup is the same for all liquid. (When u r.click on the engine, it store energy when the pipes is full)

Yep, that's sludge. I think you have to use a bucket to move it, and then use a Sludge Boiler to process it. Oil is opaque and doesn't poison you.

Edit: Have you tried to pump lava? Does it work?

[Zleubb]

So the brown one labeled sludge is waste and that's sludge ?

And oil are the geysers ?

Works fine on lava.

Thank you !

The brown liquid is actually sewage, I was wrong but I guess waste is the same thing. And yes, in the new Tekkit I've only ever seen oil when it was coming from geysers.

And you're welcome.

I find it a pain in the ass to find oil with all the sludge around. I think oil only spawns in deserts past a certain version of Buildcraft but I could be wrong.

Or we could change our minimaps to differ between oil and sludge...

Nah I've gotten oil in non desert areas, and also in pools with no geyser. You just carry a bucket with you and check the pools, and if you really want leave waypoints labeling them, or signs.

If you only need oil to make rocket fuel, I just used the mfr oil fabricator. Its probably a waste of mj, but if you have more energy than you use, then it doesnt really matter.

TBH Both sludge and sewage pools are uneccesarry and way too common, is there any way to config them out?

[Viktor_Berg]

I think sludge needs a slight reskin. Make it dark grey, not black.

[Lostonexxx]

Fun fact about sewage though, its effects dont appear until after you get out of it. And,,,,,,, you cannot drown in it!

Feel free to stand in a deep pool of the stuff until you get bored or die of starvation lol.

Navigate to '\.technic\bigdig\config\powercrystals\minefactoryreloaded\Common.cfg'. To simply make the less common, alter the lines:

I:WorldGen.LakeRarity.Sewage=32

and

I:WorldGen.LakeRarity.Sludge=32

To disable them completely, find the line

B:WorldGen.MFRLakes=true

and change the value to false.
