What is Refined Fluid Substitution?

1 part

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

Refined Fluid Substitution is a small add-on for Refined Storage. It adds a fluid substitution pattern, so your crafts can use fluids directly instead of filled buckets.[1]

It's for you if you already automate crafting with Refined Storage and have recipes that call for buckets of fluid. Encode the recipe the way you normally would, but use a Fluid Substitution Pattern instead of a regular pattern. Then insert the encoded pattern into an Autocrafter.[1]

After that, when you request the craft, Refined Storage can use the fluid directly instead of filled buckets. There's nothing else to set up.[1]

In this pack

The pack includes Refined Fluid Substitution version 26.1.2-1.0.1 for NeoForge. The mod is released under the MIT License.[1][2]

Unverified The sources don't say where this mod fits in the pack's progression. They show no quests that involve it and no place for it on the ATM Star path, and they give no pack-specific recipe or config changes, so treat it as an optional Refined Storage quality-of-life add-on.

How do you get started with Refined Fluid Substitution?

2 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

This mod adds one item, the Fluid Substitution Pattern, and it works with Refined Storage. The pattern lets autocrafting use fluids you have stored instead of filled buckets.[1][3]

Craft the pattern

The pattern is the only thing you need to make. Here is the in-pack recipe:[4]

Crafting Shaped

BucketPatternBucket

Recipe id: refinedfluidsubstitution:fluid_substitution_pattern

Use it in your autocrafting setup

You don't need any special machine or setup for this. Use the pattern the same way you would use a regular Refined Storage pattern:[1]

  1. Encode your recipe as you normally would, but use a Fluid Substitution Pattern instead of a regular pattern.[1]
  2. Insert the encoded pattern into an Autocrafter.[1]
  3. Request the craft. Refined Storage can now use the stored fluid directly instead of filled buckets.[1]
Tip: Use this pattern for recipes that call for a filled bucket of a fluid. It lets your network use the fluid you already have stored, so you don't need to keep filled buckets in storage.[1][3]

How does Refined Fluid Substitution work?

2 parts

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

This mod is small and focused. It adds one item, the Fluid Substitution Pattern, which lets Refined Storage autocrafting use fluids you have stored instead of filled buckets.[1][3]

Using the pattern

You don't need any new machine or multiblock. You encode a recipe the way you normally would, but you use the Fluid Substitution Pattern in place of a regular pattern.[1]

  1. Encode your recipe as usual, but use a Fluid Substitution Pattern instead of a regular pattern.[1]
  2. Insert the encoded pattern into an Autocrafter.[1]
  3. Request the craft. Refined Storage can now use the stored fluid directly instead of filled buckets.[1]

Crafting the pattern

The pattern has a regular crafting table recipe in this pack, shown below.[4]

Crafting Shaped

Crafting Shaped
BucketPatternBucket

Recipe id: refinedfluidsubstitution:fluid_substitution_pattern

Tip: Reach for this pattern when a recipe asks for filled buckets and you would rather draw on the fluid already in your storage.[1][3]

Unverified The sources don't explain how much fluid is taken per bucket, which recipes the pattern works with, or whether it has any limits. The pack also has no config files for this mod, so there are no options to tune.

How do you progress through Refined Fluid Substitution?

Same as in the All the Mods 11 0.8.0-beta guide

There isn't a tier ladder to climb with this mod. In this pack, the only thing the mod adds that you can craft is the Fluid Substitution Pattern, and it uses a shaped crafting recipe.[4]

Crafting Shaped

Crafting Shaped
BucketPatternBucket

Recipe id: refinedfluidsubstitution:fluid_substitution_pattern

This is the only in-pack recipe that makes an item from this mod.

Since there is just the one craftable item, the recipe above is the whole path for this mod: craft the pattern and you have everything the recipe list shows for it.[4]
