Fluid Disk Manipulator terribly unbalanced

Issue description:

The Disk Manipulator in Fluid mode works slowly (1 Item = 1 mb).

What happens:

A Disk Manipulator in Item mode without any upgrades extracts about 1 Item per second. Fluid disks are treated same same, handling 1 mB of fluid per second.

What you expected to happen:

Something more balanced. Fluid Disks have a maximum capacity of 64k, while Item disks have a capacity of 1k. A Fluid Disk should extract 64 times as fast (or some other number) to make it not horribly slow (even with four speed upgrades).

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Put a Disk Manipulator in fluid more.
  2. Insert a Fluid disk, make it work.
  3. Watch the transfer rate.

Version (make sure you are on the latest version before reporting):

  • Minecraft: 1.12.2
  • Forge: 14.23.1.2577
  • Refined Storage: 1.5.32

Usually “unbalanced” means it is overpowered, but I suppose it’s technically correct here. I honestly think all of the fluid storage is way too small for the cost. I tend to only keep one Fluid Storage Disk for miscellaneous fluids and just keep a room of Demonically Gargantuan Drums with External Storages attached for each liquid I want to store.

I feel that 1000mb should scale the same way one item does, since that’s how that amount of fluid would be stored as an item.

1 mb is indeed very slow. I'm going to increase it to 1000 mb, analog to the item rate.

Stack upgrade will give 64 000 mb /t.
