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
