Not sure if it's a bug or not, but I attached hoppers and Thermal Expansion liquiducts to all sides of thermopneumatic processing plants, and I cannot seem to drain liquid from its input tank. Once the liquid's in there, I cannot get it back out. Extremely annoying when I accidentally put 206 mB of gasoline into the input instead of LPG, and I had to craft a whole new machine, because I couldn't seem to drain it no matter what I tried.
Something I'm unaware of? Thought I'd bring it up.
Yep, only the output tank can be drained. Right now, the only option is to press the X button in the gui to dump the input contents, but I'd be open to replacing that with a button to transfer the input to the output to avoid losing the contents...
Most big mods like Thermal Expansion have dedicated faces to filling/draining. I was not aware of the "dump" button, however, so thanks for that help. I ended up making 4 thermoneumatic plants for each of the refinery outputs, just in case I ended up wanting to further process them.
I've been using your mod in a series of Minecraft Survival videos on YouTube, and made a huge fuss about getting 400 mB of the wrong fluid in there, lol. I'll point out the "dump" button to the viewers. Thanks for your help!
FYI, 0.11.13 (just released) changes the dump button to be a move button by default - move the input fluid to the output tank. But holding Shift will make it act like a dump button, as it does now. This gives players a chance to reclaim the fluid if they want to (since the output tank is easily drained).
