How to Automate Fluid Dispensing with Smart Faucets and Hoppers

Automating precise liquid transfers requires matching the correct fluid to the right target container without overflowing or mixing incompatible resources.

Dispensing with Smart Faucets

1. Place a Smart Faucet beneath a fluid reservoir, pipe, or container. Smart faucets can be crafted using copper or brass casing combined with electron tubes.

2. Open the smart faucet interface and assign a specific fluid type or filter.

3. Pass empty or partially filled containers beneath the faucet. The smart faucet will automatically fill matching items based strictly on your assigned filter, stopping flow once the conditions are met.

Extracting with Smart Hoppers

1. Place a Smart Hopper directly beneath a fluid container that you want to drain.

2. Direct the output of the Smart Hopper toward a spout or receiving pipe system. The hopper continuously pulls fluids downward from the container above and pushes them out toward the target.

3. To pause or regulate your automated filling station, wire a redstone signal to the Smart Hopper or to your Fluid Transporters. Supplying redstone power immediately disables both components, stopping all fluid movement until the signal is turned off.
