Made similar request March 29th, 2014. It was closed Mar 29th, 2014

I am requesting bucket items for all the fluids, liquid O2, liquid hydrogen chloride, etc

This is so they can be exported via AE Extracells export bus, which require an item with the fluid for the mask.

If I may make a suggestion, leave the issue open until it is completed. This way it does not get forgotten about like last time.

Does a filled Portable Tank work in an extracells export bus? I think that's been added since your original request, and was planned to fulfill it.

No tanks do not work. Tanks existed in 1.6.4, they do not work in either version as a mask in AE export bus
What was planned to fufill request was something the developer called 'liquid cells'

Buckets items with the fluids would also work

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding what doesn't work here - I'm not familiar with ExtraCells, but I've just tried to work out why portable tanks weren't working and they... did... At least insofar as when I click on the slots in a ME Fluid Export Bus with a portable tank that contains fluid, the fluid's icon appears in the slot I click on. Is there something further that doesn't work, or does this not work for you? This is with ExtraCells 2.1.24b and Mekanism master (equivalent to 7.1.1.140).

ExtraCells for AE2 RV1 also contains fluid patterns which can accomplish this, i think you can right click or shift-right click a tank in the world with a fluid pattern in hand to capture the fluid.

Hydrogen Chloride is a gas, not a fluid. You'd have to run it through a rotary condensentrator first in order to store it in your ME network.

Also i was mistaken on the fluid pattern usage, it didn't work to click on in-world stuff (for me).

The fluid export bus is not accepting hydrogen chloride when i attempt to use a portable tank filled with it, in the export bus' mask.

I have made a blank fluid pattern but it does not become hydrogen chloride pattern when I right click on a portable tank filled with it, placed in the world. I tried shift+rt-click, still does not work

I am have EC 2.1.12b launched, but will try again with updated versions, with doubt much will change.

cathode - I know how to get fluid into the system, my issue was with being able to export it.

unpairedbracket - The portable tank did the trick. Once I used portable tank from Mek, the mask in the bus picked up HCl to export.

To clarify, is this what you're referring to?


This is the gui of the ME Fluid Export Bus - I click on the slot with a tank containing HCl and the icon for HCl appears in the slot.

Ah, that's good then. Out of interest, what had you been trying to use?

A bucket, but there were no bucket items with the fluids. Other tanks and buckets did not work in fluid export bus' mask. (This was back on 1.6.4 when original request was made) When I launched 1.7.10 version and saw the proposed "liquid cells" were still not added I made new request.
