Mekanistic Routers
by Matyrobbrt
Mekanistic Routers extends Modular Routers so that its routers can move Mekanism chemicals, including gases, through Chemical Modules and Chemical Tanks.
What it does
Chemical Modules for routers handle gas transfer. The Chemical Mk1 and Mk2 Modules operate alongside the built-in Fluid Modules, which already move chemicals well. Chemical transfer uses the router's buffer, so an item store has to hold the chemicals it moves. Chemical Tanks are supported as well, and changing their settings keeps Mekanism chemical containers in place.
Radioactive chemicals are a special case. The default modules cannot transfer them, and containers that cannot store radioactive materials cannot use the buffer for them either. The Chemical Refill Module moves chemicals from the router's buffer into the player's inventory, including armour and the main and offhand slots. Used wirelessly and across dimensions, it can refill jetpacks and canteens.
The mod requires Mekanism and Modular Routers. It is published for NeoForge only, under the MIT License, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its only file, 1.1.1, targets 1.21.1 and dates from 2025-02-23.
