Any way to get water in the nether?

[Poopyjoe]

Is there any way to get water in the nether with tekkit?

[Munaus]

A bucket?

 

Make a 3*3 cobble hole filled with water and you have a never-ending source that keeps refilling itself, if your intention is to cool machines with pipes pumping water

[dwwojcik]

Nope, not in the nether.

You can't place water in the nether, it will just evaporate. Free-flowing water in the nether is not possible.

 

If you need water for machines (cooling engines or whatever), you need to collect it in the overworld and use buckets and portable tanks, or pipe it in using tesseracts and fluiducts.

Unless they patched it, you used to be able to place a ice block then break it and it would turn into water.

[dwwojcik]

That was changed a long time ago.

[Munaus]

That's cruel, making water evaporate. I just tested it on hexxit. I knew Nether blocks makes water evaporate but I thought using cobble would've helped.

[Poopyjoe]

Thanks for the replies. Its not for cooling anything. Its to place around the edges of my quarry so it flows down with it and gets lava turned into obisidian so that it gets mined.

[dwwojcik]

That's why water evaporates in the nether, otherwise the impassable lava oceans would be a joke.

[Poopyjoe]

Well yeah I know that. But i mean tekkit adds a lot of things that make mining a joke and what not, so i was just curious to see.

You could always use pumps to pump out the lava and use it for magmatic engines or something.

[jakalth]

one of the other liquids might work.  Liquid ender can be used for example, if your using the latest version of tekkit for 1.6.4  Don't know if it will convert lava too obsidian though, since it is not water but a different type of liquid.

Not strictly Tekkit, but I worked around the problem by using the quarryplus mod :|

Along the same vein, Mekanism's Digital Miner is a thing of awesome power and beauty.

Best way farming ore are laser drills. Focus on getting a powerplant that covers your powerneed + 200Mj/tic. Laser drills need 200Mj/tic to work at max and you can stop using quarry after that. Laser drill convert power to ores and doesnt destroy the environment and it can create all ores you need. Add to that sludge boiler and Igneous Extruder and you completly absolete the quarry.

a water source block added into the nether from creative mode does not evaporate fyi

It acts as a player break event so it can set off nether ores.

Which makes it even more awesome! Max size X/Y/Z with max speed upgrades set to get all ores makes the nether sound like a war zone.

Try mob essence from MFR, it turns lava into obsidian and flows like water, I am unsure whether it will evaporate or not though.

[Tech]

The following Thermal Expansion 3 Florbs all turn Lava into obsidian in the nether

Black Ink,

Liquifacted Coal,

Gelid Cryotheum,

Destabilized Redstone,

Toxic Waste

A year ago when I made a nether cobblestone generator, the uu matter recipe for water (uu matter in centre and bottom centre spaces) yields pure water source blocks. These produce running water when placed in the nether. It's clearly not intended to be possible since you can't collect these source blocks in vanilla, but it worked perfectly.

We don't have IC2 in Tekkit anymore though.
