Usage

Transferring Fluids

Fluid Pipes require Fluid Pumps to move liquid. Fluid Pumps have a maximum range of 16 blocks around them, adjustable in the Config. If Fluid Pumps are not pumping directly out of a container, the fluid transfer rate is halved. Liquid will only begin to move if it has a destination (a container or an open pipe.)

Fluid Pipes can only move one liquid at a time; if different liquids intersect, the pipe will clog.

Smart Pipes can allow only a certain liquid to pass through them.

Fluid Valves can be given Rotational power to toggle a flow.

Placement

Fluid Pipes can be adjacent without connecting if they have been made transparent with a Wrench, are encased with Copper Casing, or have a Wooden or Metal Bracket.

Unlike Brackets or windowed pipes, Copper Casing can be placed on Fluid Pipe corners, locking the pipe in place and preventing it from connecting to more adjacent pipes.

Advancements

Advancements

Name	Description	Requirements
Flow Spy	Watch fluid propagate through a windowed fluid pipe. Fluid pipes become windowed when a wrench is used on them.	Right click a Fluid Pipe with a Wrench to make it windowed, then watch fluid pass through it.
Never cross the Streams!	Watch two fluids meet in your pipe network.	Pipe two fluids into one Pipe.
There's a leak!	Watch an open pipe take or place fluids into the world.	Watch an open Fluid Pipe take or place fluids into the world.

History

• 0.4:
  • Fluid Pipe recipe returns 4 fluid pipes instead of 8. Uses vanilla copper.
  • Fluid networks can extract Lava and Water from Cauldrons.
• 0.3: Introduced.
