Description:

Requires the following mods:

• Frackin’ Universe since it adds research tree, wire messages, and item networks
• Frackin’ Universe Research: Madness: Quantum BS since it adds research tree node

This mod does the following:

• adds in 4 new items for liquid processing:
  
  • Liquid Pressure Gauge (`bardez_liquid_compression_sensor`), an analog needle-display gauge that graphically ticks a needle to indicate pressure of foreground liquid in front of the sensor. It wires output similar to power networks, and its metadata contains the amount of liquid detected, which can be connected to and emitted to the display.
  • Liquid Pressure Display (`bardez_liquid_compression_display`), a series of digital displays supporting digits up to 99,999 of the amount of liquid detected in the 1×1 block in front of a connected Liquid Pressure Gauge. This tells you how compressed a liquid in an area is!
    
    Comes in various display sizes:
    • 1×1, 1 digit (`bardez_liquid_compression_display_1x1`)
    • 1×2, 2 digits (`bardez_liquid_compression_display_1x2`)
    • 1×3, 3 digits (`bardez_liquid_compression_display`) NOTE: keeping item name same for backwards compatibility for old subscribers
    • 1×4, 4 digits (`bardez_liquid_compression_display_1x4`)
    • 1×5, 5 digits (`bardez_liquid_compression_display_1x5`)
  • Liquid Capturing Drain (`bardez_liquid_drain`), which is both a drain and a container. It is a wirable object compatible with item transfer networks, too! It will drain liquid in front of it when `on` and move that liquid into its container inventory.
  • Quantum Liquid Multiplier (`bardez_liquid_compressor`), a wirable object that when `on`, will take a pressurized liquid in front of it an emit it back out on the side, with a slight multiplier. While this potentially makes it a cheat item, it is balanced with existing Frackin’ Universe items and crafting requirements, so it isn’t too OP IMO. It is a neat alternative to the liquid drip mechanics of infinite X liquids in the base game.
• Integrates with the Frackin’ Universe research tree
  
  • Adds the Quantum Liquid Multiplier to the madness tree
  • Adds the rest to the electronics tree

Attributions: This mod utilizes the Item Transfer Network code from Frackin’ Universe (FU), as well as a derivitive of FU’s power sensor display (I think; this mod was scripted by me 2 years ago for personal use), all written by their various authors/respective contributors/etc.
