Hey Skeej, you can compact this a bit by reducing the size of the lava farm. A L9 boiler fed with lava will be self-sufficient with 12 cauldrons. They make slightly more than is consumed and will eventually make a surplus.

I just use a lot and store it in one mega tank! Another option is to fill a pit (slowly) with the excess output. Once it reaches a large enough number (10 thousand iirc), it will produce infinite lava via hose pulley!

I also found that the engine size can be reduced to 4 blocks high as you can't get any more power out of it without blaze cakes. The lava bucket system can also be compacted by placing a brass funnel on the side of the bottom depot, filtering the funnel to only accept empty buckets and then have the mechanical arm grab from the depot. This elimates both of the smart chutes and the other depot. You might think this will lead to an issue where it grabs the bucket before it's filled, but the mechanical arms actually have some pretty smart programming and will only grab the bucket if it has lava in it and at least one of the blaze burners need to be fueled. By compacting the engine size, you save on copper and by compacting the lava bucket system you eliminate the cost of iron from the filter part and reduce the electron tube cost to 1 instead of 2.

@@stailbread1 Not true. a source block of lava is required. If you don't beliefe me: go into a creative world, place a dripstone + cauldren under a flowing source and use the command "/gamerule randomtickspeed 3000". This speed up the random ticks. Default is 3. The cauldren will never fill with lava. Replace the flowing lava with a source block and it will take under 10 seconds (give or take, RANDOMtickspeed ;-) ) to fill the cauldren.

Just a little thing I wanted to point out, if you really want to maximize the amount of SU you get from this design you can use encased chain drives instead of belts to combine everything. This is because belts consume a small amount of SU to just have them running, wheras encased chain drives do not.

Belts only consume SU in older versions, (0.3 and below i believe) which I’m using the newest update (0.5 Rise and shine update) so this doesn’t affect the design

Something I found is that you can use windmills instead of large water wheels to power the boiler. This is mainly useful for those who aren't using the newest version. Although, it does seem to make it less tileable if you're using the windmills.

Engine size max for L9 is 3x3x4 as you can't get any more power without blaze cakes, about 12 or 16 cauldrons should be enough I think as we get excess as it goes on and I don't think 256 rpm is needed for the arm and pumps, you can find a sweet spot by trying it out in a creative world. Just my suggestion. 😉

i built a very horizontally compact engine setup for a server i was playing on (the engines went inside a structure that the base was centered around) and i ended up with a decent self sustaining engine. granted, of course, it will stop if you reset a server, but otherwise it runs indefinitely. its just 4 lvl 4 steam engines powered by lava. It is really tall; i built it partially in a crater from a mod i was playing with. but everything, lava source, water, engines, all fits in about a 9x9 space (excluding vertical height). i cant quite recall how much SU it made but it was in the range of 420,000 SU and served me well enough until i began making larger factories and connected a lot of alternators to power machines from other mods.
I just put a clutch on the output which engages when the system overstresses with a toggle latch. And I put a handcrank starter just in case

I have a 32-boiler/cylinder engine about that size, actually probably smaller, that produces about 500kSU under lava power. Uses addons Create and Create Crafts and Additions. The key is not one big boiler, but many small boilers, all individually supplied with water, and powered directly by lava-fueled blaze burners. It runs the water pumps using auxiliary waterwheels.

Thank you so much, this is exactly what im looking for in my world. I have one question, how many SU does to take to run it? I know you are using 5 large water wheels, but im playing a modpack that makes large water wheels extremely expensive, and im trying to figure out a slightly alternate design to get the first module running until I can afford more large water wheels. Esp since it looks like you arent getting the max SU out of them since its just water on top instead of all the way around

so yes it is common to use water wheels of various sizes to power the water. If you are bothering to build a steam engine why not use another steam engine? I mean a basic passive steam engine has 2048 SU and no fuel requirements. Needs only a single lava or a campfire to heat it. It is also only a 2x2x1. Certainly one should be able to design such a thing.

The steam engines provide the output power. That's what you send out to other machines and contraptions. The speed controller just balances power and speed from the auxiliary water wheels so the pumps and arms can move water and lava. Tapping that auxiliary power for other things may cause the steam engines to shut down for lack of fluids.
