why can't we just use a bucket to input and output liquids into the barrels?
please make it so we can just put buckets of liquid in the barrels, they would be so good as early game tanks..

I want to be able to right click with a bucket to put in liquid and take out liquid with them, like the extra utilities drum, except I want them to be early game options because the XU drums can hold way too much liquid

So, you want to be able to input/output fluid directly with one click instead of going into the GUI?

Yea but also the GUI does not allow buckets to be used inside

i really really really really really want to use these as simple tanks, you have no idea how bad

Uh...dude...you know the barrels have a GUI for that...right?

also the GUI does not allow buckets to be used inside

works fine

also i want to be able to right click on the barrel with a bucket to add water inside

did you set the barrel to accept water first

that's not a thing, nor am i likely going to add that. within the confines of NTM, there's just not a whole lot of reasons to use barrels like that in the first place, and if you do need that, most other mods with barrels already let you do that.

pretty much every other tank works like that, i don't see why it wouldn't be a good feature, being able to right click fluids into a barrel is just quality of life and ease of use- i wanted to use these barrels as my early game tanks as they are very low capacity and look very cool, i would use something like the extra utilities drum but it stores like 128 buckets which is far too much.

just consider it please :)

take a fluid identifier and either shift-click the barrel or put it in the suspiciously fluid identifier-shaped slot
