does this mod work with Universal Cables?

[SilentChaos512]

@hackaholic5069 If they can transfer FE, it should.

[Willy347]

will you consider standard machine recipes that use the simple version so you don't end up with useless machines once you upgrade ?

[revdave33]

An oil/diesel/ethane/etc generator?

[ChilledDayZ07]

I have a suggestion for a new machine. I know you have a lot to do already but thought I would see what you think. As you have a solidifier added maybe you could add a melter for ore tripling and maybe alloying in the mixer and put thought the solidifier to make ingots.

[ChilledDayZ07]

I would like to suggest adding a bio diesel generator in the future, it wouldn’t make as much FE as the diesel gen but would be a more renewable source of power?

Using MC1.14.4 I've been trying to get mods to store liquid the pump extracts but nothing seems to work from whatever fluid pipe or tank mods for mc1.14.4. I'm guessing the pump just isn't pushing anything from it's inventory except for the bucket or canister. This is fine but at least allow the canister to interact with other mods. I guess it would need to work like a filled bucket but stackable and I'm guessing that isn't possible?

[SilentChaos512]

@RamenNoodles You should open a new issue, please stay on topic when commenting on other issues. I do realize the fluid canisters can't work with other mods. I'm not aware of any way to fix that at the moment.

(edit) I'll go ahead and make the pump issue

[RamenNoodles]

@SilentChaos512 Sorry about that. I didn't think of it as an issue since you had fluid tanks and pipes in the pipeline. My issue would have to be something I would have to deal with until then. If I were to make an issue it would have to be with the canisters, I'll probably go ahead and do that.

Now that Vazkii has released Botania for 1.14, overworld production of blaze powder and glowstone are available to users without entering the nether. Whilst I'd prefer the ability to move liquid between machines be given priority, some compression recipes for the blaze powder would be appreciated as would crusher recipes for standard vanilla items like sandstone & clay.

[SilentChaos512]

@McKitten What recipes specifically should be added? Recipes are really easy, takes less than a minute to add each one.

[McKitten]

In terms of crusher stuff, Sandstone back to sand/red sand, clay back into balls, gravel into flint (probably needed the most due to arrows). Maybe even wheat into seeds and leather saddles into leather. In terms of compression i'd like to be able to reform blaze rods, a lossy recipe is still better then none.

[SilentChaos512]

Gravel already crushes into sand. I'll consider the others. Don't forget that you can always add recipes with data packs if they aren't included with any mod.

This is true assuming models exist within minecraft already; an issue i once discovered by trying to add more compression items to its mod. I thought it wise to double check.

Enhancement (or new machine): slurry mixer: an extension of mixer than can take non-fluids as ingredients (still limited to total of 4 items). The output is a single fluid.

Example uses: concrete or cement, compost tea (fertilizers), (food) syrups, slurries (eg food production), sewage, industrial-scale potions, ciders, paints, etc.

[CameoDaManeo]

Hey. I would like to suggest making bismuth steel compatible as a forge:steel_ingot. ATM, bismuth has hardly any uses and you end up with a tonne of it in a playthrough. Bismuth steel ingots are cheaper to make than steel ingots, so making them compatible with forge:steel_ingot would motivate people to actually make bismuth steel.

In the same respect, could you also do this with bismuth brass and create other bisnuth alloys that don't currently exist, such as bismuth bronze?

[TheNimbleNinja]

can you add a white list feature to the mixer as it keeps getting full of fluid that shouldnt go in it
