Exactly! Very fun to play around with. I have accidentally flooded three entire space stations with various fluids to the point where they were several times more dense than a black hole per tile... and, before i installed this mod, i manually pressurized several hundred thousand units of beer and flooded a planet, which is why I wanted this mod (the pressure display would have been fun)

So Fracking removed the liquid drip infinite mixture cheat/bug. I loved that quirk, so I made these. I ended up splitting out functionality into madness thatbdoes the whacky stuff.

Practically, say you want an explosove pressure for whatever reason. It's fun, I dunno. These help measure that.

With my madness mod, there is a quantum bullshit gizmo that sucks in 1.0 liquid and spawns 1.001 in its place. But when you have 4 pressure, it spawns 4.004 or what have you. It creates a pressurized feedback loop that ends up multiplying your liquids.

Liquid iron? Infinite iron.

Or maybe you want a pressurized lava trap to screw around with, dunno. I use these in combo with the infinite generation to extract materials. But share for anyone to play around with however they choose.

Hold on, I have a question, if that's okay. I see you use world.liquidAt() to get how much fluid there is in a tile, but for me that function only returns a number between 0 and 1 representing fluid height... and that's what the starbound docs say as well. How exactly did you get yours to return the actual amount of fluid per tile? I've been stumped on this for hours (I'm trying to make pressurized fluids give players the appropriate FU extreme pressure debuffs.)

sure it may not have a *practical* use but i genuinely love playing with fluids in starbound and compressing them to inconceivable levels and then accidentally flooding a friend's space station with coconut milk. i made a 20 digit display and also a version of the 5 wide display that doesnt have an upper limit (converts to scientific notation instead, can display any number the game can handle internally) and it was pretty fun. all in all i love this mod for allowing me to do awful awful things with starbound's fluid system and also flooding (and then draining) three seperate space stations on "accident"

I second kenanthebarbarian. I like the idea of new additions to a factory, base, and so forth. What application does this mod have?

Is it just thematic? Does it result in a superior bi-product or something?

I feel like Starbound can benefit from a Factorio-ish optional system.

You're making some interesting additions for FU. I'm failing to envision the practical application of these tanks. What is the best way to use them?
