This mod is requested by Brekkjern inspired by the mod by btw located here. The original mod was reported broken so I have duplicated the mod. No code or images were taken from the previous mod.

Showcase



Features

• Fill barrels with any type of fluid in an assembler.
• Empty barrels with any type of fluid in an assembler.
• Recipes are in new technology "Liquid Handling 2"

[Subject edited by Koub : the mod is naturally 0.12.0 compatible]

For me it does work like a charm, 30 hours doing barrels all day. not a single glitch. MP + dytech on 11.10

Thanks again for this awesome mod.

Is there any specific reason to have a brand new tech unlock for it? As I see it, from a game story standpoint, it should really be the same process as filling crude oil barrels, which you get from Liquid Handling (1?).

Great mod though, I've always found it odd that only crude oil can be barrelled.

nice mod, good chance I'll be using it in the future.

A suggestion though. If it were me, I would make 2 new kinds of "barrels," one a tank, like a propane tank, specifically for the gasses (just petroleum gas, in vanilla, but other mods may add other gasses, not sure?) and the other made of plastic. The plastic one would have all the same liquid recipes as the barrels, but should be the only tank you can use for sulfuric acid. If I remember my chemistry, I don't think sulfuric acid would eat through steal drums, but it would react with the metal and render the acid useless. These new items and their filling recipes would come from the new tech, fluid handling 2.

Thank you for your excellent work again!

Awesome! I've added this to my modpack now and deprecated my customized version of the Liquid Station Mod.

I like the idea of a smaller-sized machine for barrelling and unbarrelling, though. Preferably 1x1 tile, or 2x1 or 2x2 tiles. And also using less power than an Assembler Machine. But that's the only complaint I have about the Fluid Barrel mod.

Honestly that was the main thing I modded out. I did also consider making the barreling happen in a chemical plant, but there's enough recipes in them already without messing with them any further.

This is one of those mods I can't live without, so just went to see about updating it for 0.12.0. It seems to work as-is, though there is some oddness with displaying the names of recipes in the menu. Filled a storage tank with water, then disconnected from the well and shifted it back and forth, barreling and unbarreling to a second tank, and it seems to function perfectly. Just an FYI.

So I just put this in my mod folder, and it works right away? Without me having to do anything? Or what?

Yep, it's an issue with the locales and was that way before 0.12

Yes, this one works fine in 0.12 without needing changes.

Topic moved to Mods ‹ Mods for 0.12 ‹ New Items, Entities, Extensions (0.12)
It seems the OP hasn't visited this forum in the last 4 months. I'll change the title of the topic, and when I have a little time, add the template.

any one else having issues with the unfilling of barrels stops randomly till you add or remove a module on the 0.12 update

To save you some trouble, for my love of refineries and shipping resources around by trains, I have updated the mod with the missing locale files, updated the image with the new timer graphics for research and provide a template below according to the current standards (not sure, seems sslik is still figuring out what template will contain. Also lack of author description?!).

Moved to convenience, I think this is more game-changing, than just adding items.

Does anyone else experiencing a subtle stutter (when moving) after activating this mod ?
It didn't register on fps count (retain at 60 fps), but it's noticeable.
Affect new game.
I tested it by disabling all mods except for Fluid Barrel, quit, make new game, yet the problem exist.
Also, this happen on other mod (Rail Tanker) although in Rail Tanker the problem is more severe.
Maybe happen to the mod that affect liquid handling?
I posted the same report on Rail Tanker thread.

There nothing in this mod that should cause any performace issues, its literally just a handful of items, recipes and technologies.

Yet it happen, probably a main game bug ? Only arose if the (liquid) mod is used ?

Edit: Probably main game issue, happen even in x86 build vanilla game. In x64 build, the problem only arose if the mod is activated.
