How to Request Specific Liquids with Gauges and Requesters

You can call specific liquids on demand from your factory's storage network using dedicated logistics tools.

Setting Liquid Requests

1. Hold either a Factory Gauge or a Redstone Requester in your hand.

2. Locate an item or container currently holding the liquid you want to order.

3. Hold down the Alt key and right-click the fluid-holding item with your Factory Gauge or Redstone Requester. This binds the liquid type to your tool and submits a request through your logistics network for that specific fluid.

4. Connect your Redstone Requester into your redstone circuits to trigger automated fluid dispatches whenever your machinery demands more liquid.

Monitoring Network Transfers

1. Ensure your network uses Fluid Transporters to move requested liquids between containers along the filtered transport system.

2. If you are unsure of transport flow or pipe behavior, use the built-in ponder screen on a Fluid Transporter to review visual demonstrations of fluid transfer mechanics.

3. Run redstone dust to your Fluid Transporters if you need a kill switch: introducing a direct redstone signal disables the transporter and freezes liquid movement instantly.
