How To Use Hose
Remember, to use the hose, you must have the backpack equipped on your back! Otherwise, it won't work. The hose mimics vanilla bucket interactions and allows you to access your tanks' contents.
-
Suck Mode - You can pick up fluid from the world or - when clicking on a suitable tank - transfer fluid from the clicked tank to your backpack's tank.
-
Spill Mode - You can spill fluid into the world or - when clicking on a suitable tank - transfer fluid from your backpack's tank to the clicked tank.
-
Drink Mode - Allows the player to drink the contents of certain tanks - not all fluids are drinkable, and some of them may give special effects.
If you hold the Hose item in your main hand and have the backpack equipped, press Z (configurable in controls) to open the mode/tank selection wheel.
By default, the hose is attached to the left tank of your backpack and set to Suck Mode.
First, you have to wear backpack (Hose can only be used with backpack equipped), then you have to attach the hose to the tank, by pressing right mouse button. Tank is selected if its border is white, this also means that hose is active. Hose attachment resets everytime when you take off your backpack or remove hose from inventory, so make sure that any of the tanks is selected. There are 3 hose modes, which I'll describe below:
- Suck Mode
You can pick up the fluid from the world or - if clicked on suitable tank - transfer fluid from clicked tank to your backpack's tank.
- Spill Mode
You can spill the fluid into the world or - if clicked on suitable tank - transfer fluid from your backpack's tank to clicked tank.
- Drink Mode
Allows the player to drink the contents of some tanks - not all fluids are drinkable, some of them may give special effects.
