Starting down the long road of making my mod even more compatable with
other mod's liquids. This will take some time, patience, and pain
killers.
Plan of action
*Release Valve will not store any liquids but rather direction output to
pipes from other TileEntities
*Release Valve will have a gui to restrict it to outputing one or more
types of Liquids that are predefined
*Pipes will go from being fully liquid restricted to color based(0-15)
and have a universal uncolor pipe that can accept all liquids
*Once a pipe is place a tool can be used to change its color just like
in other mods.
*Some colors will be restricted to select liquids for example Blue is
water, Red is Lava, Black is oil, Yellow Fuel, White Milk,
*Steam will have its own pipe made out of bronze to fit the machines it
goes too.
*Tanks will go in the same direction
*Pumps will still be liquid restricted but come with unique textures,
models, and animation per liquid type
Current issues to resolve that are broken with push
*Release valve doesn't work at all due to changes in progress
*back compatable must be added for pipes and old release valves
What i have is not much diffrent but its a start to allowing more liquid
types without having to add them myself. The current method has 3
defualt liquids that are preset. The new system also uses String names
to ID liquid instead of Enums. A new class Called LiquidData will keep
track of the data need to ID, and use the Liquids.
In the process i also fixed a few crafting recipes that were
removed/messed up in a patch a while back.
Plan for new system
*Have default liquid type that come with textures/renders
*Have several univeral pipes that can accept all Liquid types
*Have a way of placeing a universal pipe and then converting to a
regulated pipe, pipe that only take one liquid type
*Have a tool for doing the above
*Change the release Valve to be univeral with a GUI to restrict flow and
Liquid type extracted
Though it was the release valve but it turns out the Storage tanks
needed coding to drain themselves after giving the release valve the
liquid ammount present.
Other than that the rest of the changes are just renaming from past push
