How to transport magma?

Thank you erso. But in my opinion that is exploiting of the game mechanics. I am ok whit door transportation of magma, or bottle transportation of magma. But this is not ok for me. But anyone else is free to build anything he wants.

Post edit: Sooner or lather the heat from the lava will break the pump, and i prefer minimum dupe intervention in that regard.

It won't break the pump if the pump is in a vacuum.  The contents of a building don't interact with the building, instead interacting with the atmosphere.  And it doesn't generate heat.

I have vacuum in my regolith smelter. And the petroleum transformed to nat gas (eu upgrade) from the heat of regolith ( this was before i construct a cooling loop)...The result... the petroleum evaporate, the conveyor receiver is damaged...bye bye vacuum

I always either corner build down into the magma layer and locate my builds needing heat down there, or.... build an insulated abyssalite enclosure around whatever volcano I have available and build in place there. Second option preferred ofc...

I have seen many great player-made builds which require the use of magma.  The only problem is...how are you supposed to transport it?  Any pump would quickly melt from the intense heat. :?

The easy way is to use my hotter than lava mod( you need only the HotterThanLavaMod.dll from the zip file ). Pumps are now immune to overheating up to a million degree. you still need to build it from something heat resistant
