XNet Gases
by Terrails
XNet Gases gives XNet networks a channel that moves Mekanism chemicals between tanks, with gas, infuse, pigment and slurry all selectable.
What it does
A chemical channel in XNet carries Mekanism chemicals from one connected tank to another. The channel is set to one chemical type at a time, so a single network can move gas, infuse, pigment or slurry on separate channels. The behavior follows the fluid channel of XNet, with round-robin or priority ordering, a delay between transfers, a transfer limiter and a capacity limit. A filter can be set so that any tank holding a chemical is used as a source or destination.
The mod also adds a second channel type, separate from the chemical channel, that handles redstone logic inside a network. Players build it with XNet and Mekanism installed, and both are required dependencies. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.15.2 – 1.21.1, and the code is under the MIT License and open source.
Key features
Chemical type selection
Each chemical channel can be set to move gas, infuse, pigment or slurry, so the network handles one chemical type per channel.
Round-robin or priority mode
The channel can rotate evenly between connected tanks or fill the highest-priority tank first.
Delay and transfer limits
A delay, a transfer limiter and a capacity limit control how fast and how much chemical moves each cycle.
Any-tank filter
A filter setting lets any tank that holds a chemical take part in the transfer, instead of a single named tank.
Redstone logic channel
A separate channel type carries redstone logic, so networks can switch transfers on and off from signals.
