Damian Yates Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 Since the latest release of voltz, I have not been able to devise a way of transporting lava from below to storage tanks above for use by other devices. I have successfully used the pump and mechanical pipe to collect the lava, but there is nothing to store it in? Is this a bug or an issue to be addressed in the next release? Quote
Ujigum Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 There are storage tanks for liquids, they're called Dynamic Tanks. They work a little bit like the Iron Tanks you can make in FTB, so you have to build a 3x3x3 structure to hold the liquid. There are three parts to them: Dynamic Tank Dynamic Valve Dynamic Glass My problem now is, how on earth do you get the liquid out again? I've tried everything. Simply attaching a mechanical pipe doesn't work, nor does attaching an electric pump. i've even tried moving the valves about on the tank, still nothing coming out of the tank :( Quote
Damian Yates Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks for the hint. Now I know what to do. As far as extracting the fluid, use the configurator. Shift right click the pipe leaving the tank to extract. Quote

Ujigum Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah, i found that out now. I was just about to post to say the same thing. Happy crafting :) Quote
Damian Yates Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Is there a wiki on the dynamictanks? I am trying to figure out how to set it up and can not find any documentation on it. Quote
Damian Yates Posted August 30, 2013 Author Posted August 30, 2013 Anyone able to assist with the proper construction of the dynamic tank? Quote
Haskar Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 You'll need a frame: bottom, top: 3x3 dynamic tank, corners on the middle part. Then fill in the glass and valves you need. WARNING: The tank needs to be hollow: no blocks in the middle! Quote
HeroesDieYoung Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Is this all specific to Voltz 2.0.4? I have some questions about fluid mechanics is 1.1.4, I can't figure out a setup to pump creosote oil out of my coke ovens into a tank of some sort... I'll make a new thread if this is too far off topic, don't mean to hijack yours. Quote
