How to Manage Factory Fluids and Spray Functional Gels

Transporting and Clearing Fluids

Maintaining high-throughput fluid lines requires specialized transport and cleaning tools:

• Advanced Pumps: Install Advanced Pumps along your piping system. These pumps transport liquids across double the normal distance of standard pumps and can switch flow directions on demand.
• Plungers: When changing recipes or moving setups, use a Plunger on tanks or machines. The Plunger clears out leftover fluids instantly without having to break the block.
• Milking Stations: Place a Milking Station to automate fluid and item drop collection from nearby mobs.

Deploying Surface Gels with Hoseguns

Refined fluid gels can be used to alter terrain and factory surfaces:

1. Load your fluid gel into either a Hosegun or a Paint Nozzle.

2. Aim at blocks in your environment and spray the gel onto the surface.

3. The coated surfaces take on distinct functional properties depending on the gel used: bouncy surfaces launch entities, slippery surfaces increase sliding speed, sticky surfaces catch moving mobs, and burning surfaces create protective or offensive hazards.
