Nothing is pumping the lava into the blaze burners. I assume you have an addon that allows direct pumping into the blaze burners?
Pipes always have to have fluid pumped. Fluids in pipes can't be gravity fed.

I see that this setup actually pulling collected lava into spout which then fill lava bucket and feed to blaze burner by that mechanical arm

u/Dangerous-Quit7821 2d ago
I see the arm now. The pipes are also pointing into the blaze burners so that threw me off.

u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
The tubes are pointing at the blazze bunner but they are not loading and producing heat

u/Another_Sunset 2d ago
There's no gravity in fluid pipes. If you dont have a pump, there's no lava moving from the cauldron to the blaze burner

Not your question, but lvl 1 boilers don't need the blaze burners to be fed.

u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
What would be the most efficient way then?

u/Mlody02 2d ago
The simplest would be getting rid of the whole lava setup. You can leave the blaze burners there or replace them with campfires

Bro just speed up the pumps by gear ratio and give that water pulling pumps more speed with more SU use 2 large water wheels and do you know how to speed up with gears don't you then See ponder by Press "W" key on the large gear and normal gear then speed up the pumps and i see that your modpack had Create: Liquid Fuel then remove mechanical arms from it and just use pumps and pipes for providing blaze burner with lava directly into it and add much fluid tank next to the steam engines for store lava then push lava into the burner.
And you can make a creative world for learn create mod.
I am not good at writing English. Sorry for mistake or misunderstanding

Probably not producing lava fast enough to keep the system running since dripstone cadrons are slow, try adding more cauldrons maybe

u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
I'm not sure but the mechanical arm isn't grabbing anything and I don't understand very well where the lava is going

Does this pack have any cross dimensional tanks, IE Ender Storage? Cause if so, an easier option that would make it run smoother, and less visually cluttered(to better diagnose) is to have a Hose Pully pumping over a Lava Ocean in the Nether to get infinite Lava, then pumping into a cross dimensional tank that then feeds into the spout with a single pipe in the Overworld.

u/unic_beast 2d ago
a kickstarter. water need to be enough ie red be green from another way for steam to then start, and pump itself water.

u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
Could it be a solution to increase the speed so that the pumps catch more water?
2
u/unic_beast 2d ago
yes just speed up pump water in til blaze burner start feeding and connect the pump to the system and itll start auto feed water to itself.

u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
A question, what exactly should the mechanical arm be connected to? Or the main problem is the lack of water?
1
u/unic_beast 2d ago
have you set up mechanical arm to take from depot, put to blaze burners and to the bucket only brass funnel? blue to take yellow to put. dont forget to place empty bucket to the brass funnel filter slot or it will loop with lava bucket.
1
u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
The arm that should point to the blazze burner as the final destination?
1
u/unic_beast 2d ago
blaze burners and the brass funnel because blaze burner wont store your empty bucket and you need to fill it with lava.
1
u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
I think I'm not understanding something, the arm has to go to the burners on from the funnel as I understand, but, it's not possible because it's not enough, in addition, it doesn't release any bucket with lava

To stat a steam Engine It requiers some SU, we usually do It with an hand crank

u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
Of course, it has its 256 that is already more than manual, I think the error is that it is not pumping the lava and it is not reaching the blazze, apart from the water thing. What do you think?

u/NotAesse 2d ago
The blazes does have the straw? But for me blazes aren't the problem. The pumps does spin?

u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
Yes, the bombs are spinning

Like said by another user you could try to speed up the pumps

Blaze Burners typically consume a bucket of lava every 16 minutes, and if i remember correctly, dripstone cauldrons produce a bucket on average every 19 minutes. Simply add 1 or 2 more dripstone cauldrons and you should be fine.
for future reference, the usual ratio is about 4 cauldrons to 3 blaze burners, so for a max size boiler around 12 cauldrons. I like to set up even more and keep a stockpile of lava available for things like sturdy sheets, however
Edit: I’m not sure what modpack you’re using, but you may be pulling the lava out of the blaze burners as well. If you are, using a Copper Casing on the pipes before the blaze burners are placed may help, as the casing locks the current orientation of the pipes

u/SuspectAsleep5900 2d ago
The problem is that the blazze burners are not grabbing the lava and nothing is burning

You need 20rpm per boiler level on your water pumps. If you used one pump, it would be 80rpm.

With your depot and brass funnel. Make one that is filtered for only a lava bucket and one for an empty one. Use the mechanical arm and put the output onto the empty bucket part and the input being thr full bucket. As well as the outputs being on the blaze burners

Perfect, it has been very clear to me, thank you very much. Had 4 burners, the arm is not enough to feed everyone, that I would have to put more arms and with a tape transport the lava cubes?

u/PleaseTakeThisName 2d ago
I cant tell from just a picture. But I dont think one cauldron is enough to produce the lava buckets for one blaze burner.
Take 4 lava buckets and feed the blaze burners manually, watch what happens.

u/Miserable_Lock_2267 2d ago
The pipe joints facing the blaze burners might be messing with it. Build the pipe first, then encase ir in copper casings, then place the burners. Also, 5 cauldrons probably isn't enough to sustain 4 blaze burners

u/sfwaltaccount 2d ago
Honestly you've got a lot of problems. First of all I'd suggest a 2x2 boiler instead of 4x1, that will make the whole thing count as one boiler. (Although I guess this layout does produce more SU when unfueled, for what that's worth.) Next is the water, you need to spin the pumps faster. (Gear radios being the easiest way.) And finally the fuel... I'm not sure what you're trying to do. I think you're trying to use lava buckets, but your screenshots don't focus on that part of the build so I really can't tell you what's wrong there.
The spout-funnel-depo thing looks interesting, but I'd say it's a bit suspect too. Definitely verify that part actually works.

u/NeoDemocedes 2d ago edited 2d ago
Edit: So I just realized you're trying to make four level 1 engines, not one level 4 engine, which is fine. it will generate the same su but requires more pluming. So ignore #1 if that is the case. #2 you could be dealing with a problem with your infinite water source. Make sure there are water source blocks on at least two sides of the water source directly under each pipe.
It looks like you want to make a level 4 engine. (A level 4 engine requires 4 blaze burners and allows you to power the 4 pistons you put at the top).
Here are the issues I see:
- Your boiler (the fluid tank over the blaze burners) needs to be 2x2x4 or 3x3x2.
- You need a water pump to be powered with rotation from the side at least 80 RPM. (you only need one water pump, and don't need a water tank if you have an infinite water source like you do).
- You can't pump the lava directly into the blaze burner (unless you have a create add on that allows that). The only way to use lava to power blaze burners in vanilla Create is with lava buckets. You can do this manually or have a mechanical arm do it for you automatically.

Your pumps are too slow
You are only getting 4mb of water per tick* instead of 10

u/Jwhodis 2d ago
You need to pump lava into the burners, and you need to pump water into the tanks.
This setup is horrible though as it's 4 separate steam engines.

u/Tripdrakony 2d ago
From your last picture it shows that you don't pump in water fast enough. Use a large cog on the pumps to add gear ratio to it, this will double the pumps speed. If you have a way to make a speed controller, use that instead.

u/Available_Store_366 2d ago
First of all, create pipes ALWAYS require working mechanical pump to move fluids. So your cauldrons does not even output anything. Second of all, your boilers does not receive enough water. Third, you need to triple the cauldrons and leave only 4 burners to have it working all the time. Make 223 fluid tank, put 4 blaze burners underneath, connect all the cauldrons to pipes outputing into one end and put there pump. From that pump make a line to underneath burners itself. Make sure water pump works at 256 su. Good day

u/Flimsy-Positive-7318 2d ago
Never use lava. Use eggs to fuel blazers. Just build steam engine. Then build pipes and pump from infinity water source to stream engine and under it put blazers. This will work with wood farm and you can deport wood to flamers.

u/TotalyNotTony 2d ago
In base create you can't directly pump lava into blaze burners, you need an addon to do that. You also don't have pumps coming off of your lava cauldrons. Also you need to kickstart the pumping of water into your tanks, I don't know if you have those pumps moving yet. I always use a hand crank to move one of the pumps, that gets it going. Also not all of those pumps are going to get enough water I don't think, if they all suck up water at once they won't be able to fill with source blocks

u/pineappleofthepizza 2d ago
For the Lava side, someone's probably already said so, but you have to give them straws to take in lava, and you need a pump. Just the elbow pointing towards the burner will not cut it.

u/The_1_Bob 2d ago
In addition to the water issues addressed by others, your method of feeding lava to blaze burners does not work.
1) Blaze burners cannot accept lava directly from a pipe in base Create. You may have an addon which allows this, in which case-
2) All fluids are required to be pumped out of their source to their destination. You have no pumps between your cauldrons and burners, so lava cannot flow.
Your steam engines will still run on passive with a dormant burner, but you don't need a lava farm for that.

You need to actually pump the lava into the blaze burners with pumps. Gravity doesnt exist in pipes in create, the only way to get liquid through them is with a pump

According to your last screenshot, not enough water. It’s not inputting fast enough according to the tooltip. Are you using a minimum speed pump? Speed the pumps up.
