What's up with my magma crucible?

[dirtyword]

I've been generating lava for a bank of magmatic engines, which are powering the crucible and the rest of my machines. I'm feeding with netherrack it via a hopper - making a trip to the nether every so often to refill.

It's worked fine for literally hours upon hours, but suddenly stopped consuming the netherrack and stopped producing lava. The magmatic engines still have a reserve in their tanks, and the crucible's power bar is full. When I take out the netherrack and swap it for cobblestone, it burns fine (it even has a higher energy requirement to burn cobble). I didn't make any changes to the power plant before it stopped working.

So what am I missing? Is this a bug? I've restarted the server and everything.

Is there room for the lava to fill?

[dirtyword]

Yeah, its got a liquiduct on it and an empty internal tank. The cobblestone produces lava normally, which fills into the engines.

Since its internal storage is empty, try removing the crucible and placing it back again. Might reset the issue your having without loosing any resources. Sounds like an odd issue there though.

I had an issue like this with my Liquid Transposer after updating to 1.1.0 that required breaking the block and placing it again.

This is really starting to bug me, as my entire base is now useless, and I've invested a lot in this plant. I just broke the block and replaced it, to no avail. Here's how it looks when it's got netherrack in it

In this screen, all I did was pull out the 'rack and stick in some cobblestone:

Wtf.

[weirleader]

maybe it's a dumb question, but you're sure it's netherrack, right? Once I put in nether coal because i couldn't visibly see the differrence...

[dirtyword]

Sincere thank you for your comment.

Can anyone tell the difference between these blocks?

One "netherrack" works and the other doesn't. (IDs 87 and 731 - don't ask me why)

Anyway, we're back up and running.

[Valkon]

Netherrack 731 contains a nether silverfish, netherrack 87 is just normal netherrack.

[weirleader]

curious -- did you by chance get that using Silk Touch? I can't figure out how else you'd pick up a block with the silverfish still inside (not even sure if that'd do it, but grasping at straws here). Never would've thought of it if we hadn't just had this conversation.

[dirtyword]

think someone cheated them into the chest :/

This Is precisely why I leave NEI on in recipe mode at least and have it show ID's anymore.
