Fluid Transposer

Filling buckets by hand is hard work.

A fluid transposer, or transposer for short, is a machine that fills and empties items that hold fluids, like buckets.

Obtaining

A placed fluid transposer can be instantly picked up by dismantling it with a wrench. Its configuration is preserved in the item. It can also be mined using a pickaxe, though this can be much slower.

Crafting

Upgrading

A fluid transposer is initially at the lowest tier (basic). It can be upgraded to higher tiers using upgrade kits and conversion kits.

Usage

Placement

When placed, a fluid transposer faces the player. It can face any of the four cardinal directions, and can be rotated using a wrench.

Processing

A fluid transposer can be in two modes: Fill and Empty.

In Fill mode, a fluid transposer fills or infuses items with fluids. When items are placed in a transposer’s input slot in this mode and the input tank is filled with a fluid, the machine will start consuming Redstone Flux to fill the items with fixed amounts of fluid. Every item requires a certain amount of energy to fill with a certain amount of fluid. When enough energy has been consumed for an item, the input fluid is consumed. A fluid transposer will keep processing the same item until the item is full or the fluid runs out. Otherwise, the output is placed in the output slot.

In Empty mode, a fluid transposer works similarly, except fluids are extracted from items and the tank is an output tank.

The speed at which a fluid transposer processes items depends on how much energy it can use per tick. This in turn depends on how much power is being supplied, and on the machine’s maximum power usage. A basic transposer has a maximum power usage of 20 RF/t. This can be increased by upgrading the machine to a higher tier, and by installing certain augments.

Input and output

Items and fluids can enter and exit a fluid transposer through its sides. Every side of a transposer may correspond to its input slot, its output slot, its input/output tank, or certain tanks/slots at the same time.

A fluid transposer can automatically transfer items and fluids out of any sides that directly correspond to its output slot/tank. This is called auto-output. It can also transfer items from adjacent inventories into any sides that directly correspond to its input slot. This is called auto-input. Auto-output and auto-input occur whenever the machine finishes processing an item, or every 32 ticks (1.6 seconds) if the machine is inactive.

A basic fluid transposer can automatically transfer up to 16 items and up to 1,000 mB of fluid at a time. These amounts can be increased by upgrading the machine to a higher tier.

Which sides correspond to which slots/tanks and whether auto-output and auto-input are enabled can be configured using the Configuration tab in the machine’s GUI.

Redstone control

A fluid transposer may be configured to respond to redstone signals. It can be in one of three modes:

Ignored

Redstone control is disabled. The transposer works whenever possible. This is the default mode.

Low

The transposer works when not powered. When powered, it stops working.

High

The transposer only works when powered.

The current mode can be set using the Redstone Control tab in the machine’s GUI.

Security

A fluid transposer can have a signalum security lock installed to restrict who can access it.

Redprints

A fluid transposer’s configuration can be saved on a redprint to be copied to other transposers.

Tiers

Fluid transposers come in five tiers.

Augmentation

A fluid transposer can have augments installed to improve certain properties or to change how it works. The amount of augments that can be installed depends on the machine’s tier. A basic transposer cannot be augmented.

Augments can be installed in the Augmentation tab in a transposer’s GUI.

	Augment	Installable in	Description
	Auxiliary Reception Coil	Any machine	Increases a machine's maximum power usage (speed). However, also increases the amount of energy required per operation. Can be installed multiple times.
	Auxiliary Sieve	Machines with secondary products	Increases the chances of a machine producing a secondary product. However, also increases the amount of energy required per operation. Can be installed multiple times.

Recipes

Filling

• Items that can hold fluids such as buckets can be filled with 1,000 mB of fluid for 400 RF.
• Glass bottles can be filled with fluid potions (250 mB each) for 800 RF.
