✨ Key Features

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Turns lava into a practical heat source, which is a cool concept for late-game bases.
- Tiny mod that does one thing well—no bloat, just a new pipe connection.
- With 22 endorsements and 421 downloads, it's got a small but active user base.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works with fluids like lava, so it's useless if your map lacks lava or you're not using heat-pipes.
- No info on compatibility with other mods or specific versions—could break with updates.
- Limited scope means it's a niche add-on, not a must-have for most playthroughs.
🎯 Is This For You?
This is for Factorio players who love tinkering with heat mechanics and want to harness lava as an energy source. If you're building a geothermal-style base or just want a new way to feed heat-pipes, this is a neat little tool. Not for you if you stick to vanilla solar or nuclear.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a source of lava nearby—this mod only works with fluids like 1000°C lava, so plan your base around a lava lake or use a mod that adds lava.
- Connect the Thermal Tap to your heat-pipe network and watch the heat flow—it's a straightforward way to supplement your power or smelting setups.
- If you're using other mods that add new fluids, check if they're compatible with Thermal Tap's heat extraction logic.
