AE & Iron Tanks/Xycraft Tanks

[namiasdf]

Interaction possible or do I have to liquid transposer everything?

 

[RedBoss]

Yes / no

 

[namiasdf]

Absolutely wonderful.

If you want to extract liquids from tanks (in the form of cells or buckets or something linke that) with ae, I think it only works via additional machines like the liquid transposer (or maybe stuff like deployer, turtles etc.)

I just tried it with buses, didn't work. Did you mean with interfaces?[DOUBLEPOST=1374232536][/DOUBLEPOST]

Oh. Well the work I put into this timer computercraft stuff whatever, worth it.

Railcraft tanks do not interface with item transport solutions in any way, I'm afraid.

It was too good to be true =(. Oh well, liquid transposers and autarchic gates aren't that expensive.

Xycraft Item IO will fill buckets and bottles, haven't tested any other containers.

Only problem is keeping a certain amount of empty containers in the input slot of the item IO because any automation will also fill the output slot with empty containers, stopping the filling process.

It is possible to control the slots with different colored blocks or something, DW20 did that to automate water cells.

The Liquicrafter in MFR is worth a look. I wanted to automate crafting of coolant cells and it basically makes it so you don't need a liquid container by replacing that with the liquid piped directly in.

Saves a lot of tin, I use that

Of course Greg will probably find this thread and then make it incompatible with the liquicrafter... And then make it take a new "Coolant injector" or something...

Item I/Os will fill any fillable container (or drain the container, if placed in full). If you shift-click the Item I/O with a wrench, stick or empty hand (IIRC), you can switch it between white (Inventory, and default), Blue (Input) and Orange (Auto-eject Output) modes like TE machines. So with 2 Item I/O on one tank you can use one for the input slot and one for the output slot, ensuring you never "Fill" the output slot with empties.

Tin cans/cells aren't anything I use to make coolant cells anyway. Capsules from beeswax are pretty close to free. Glass bottles are a close second being just slightly processed sand. But the liquicrafter saves me even that step.

Aluminium (xycraft) is also almost useless unless made into cans.

Making glass viewers is a fairly good use...

But then it takes 4 tin for one 10k coolant cell - when you start needing a bunch of 60k ones for superconductors, it really eats through tin.

Or you could just, you know, magically turn aluminum into tin by smelting the cans.....

I might have to try that

I use connected textures, so it's nbd for me.
