A few beginners Questions

Quote from thepowdertoy

What spambot? The spambots wars?

Anyway, if Tekkit (or tekkit pack) includes thermal expansion and either ender chests, teleport pipe or tesseract, you can teleport lava to magmatic engine array that is located near your quarry site. If there is no thermal expansion, geothermal array and lapotron charge/discharger can feed power converters. I'm just currently suggesting non-nuclear solution... but if you going nuclear, a full Mark 1 reactor with no empty spaces could be used for easy automation, meaning no need for advanced regulator and the like

In my Opinion, the Offtopic is a valley of death, with some guys trying to get back to the good old times and others devastating the work of this again.

Actually, we already use that for our machines. We have a lava pump in the nether and use ender tanks to bring it to our area. We also run a miner with an ender tank. It's just that for the quarry we wanted to try something else, although geotherm would probably work as well.

No, what I mean is that without smart pumps like GregTech's Advanced Pump, Nether pumping will cause MASSIVE LAG.

Or, yanno, use netherrack in the magmatic crucible to generate lava. So you don't get all those ding-dang flowing and block update things...
