TCon Tank Nerf
by paypur
TCon Tank Nerf limits which liquids Seared Tanks can hold, so that only liquids at 1000C or lower are accepted in a tank made from Tinkers' materials.
What it does
Seared Tanks, the tanks from the Tinkers' materials, are restricted by this mod to liquids with a temperature of 1000C or less. Hotter fuels are blocked from entering them, which stops players from using a Seared Tank as a shortcut for late game fluids. The restriction is meant to push players to stay with lower tiers for longer and to experiment with the materials they already have.
The author describes the goal as making late game progress harder. Blazing Blood is named as the fluid that is simple to get until the end game, where it becomes the main obstacle. Raw material access is also tuned, so that obtaining the tier 3 materials through other mods is more difficult. The intended use is in expert packs, where Blazing Blood and similar add-on fluids are gated behind the foundry and alloyer.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 only. Both the server and every player need it, because the tank restriction is enforced on each side. Its code is open source and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Temperature cap on Seared Tanks
Seared Tanks accept only liquids at 1000C or below, so hotter fluids cannot be stored in them.
Tier gating for expert packs
The restriction is intended to hold back Blazing Blood and add-on equivalents until players reach the foundry and alloyer.
Tuned raw material access
Raw materials become harder to obtain without other mods, and access to the smeltery is adjusted to limit tier 3 materials.

What the author says
This mod is intended for "expert" packs to gate blazing blood (or any other add-on equivalents) to the foundry/alloyer (access to Tier 4 materials) by restricting higher temperature fuels (>1000C) to scorched tanks and preventing them from being using in seared tanks. The goal is to make the late game of Tinkers…
