Description

Fluid Regulator (LV) is an Industrial Craft 2 machine that transfers fluids to a nearby container at adjustable transfer speeds. One machine is crafted on a crafting table from five Iron, two Fluid Cell, one Electric Motor and one Circuit. Fluid Regulator (LV) runs on EU, so the machine needs a charge before any fluid moves. A grey round circle on the casing marks the output side, and the transfer works only when that side sits directly against a fluid storage container.

The interface of Fluid Regulator (LV) sets how much fluid to move and how often to move that amount, with the interval chosen in seconds or in ticks (one tick equals 1/20 of a second). Because amount and interval are both configurable, the same machine can top up a container in small doses or empty a large one at full speed. In the Industrial Craft 2 catalogue, Fluid Regulator (LV) is grouped with the automation machines.

Guide

How to Craft and Use Fluid Regulator (LV) in Industrial Craft 2

  1. 1

    Craft the machine

    Place five Iron, two Fluid Cell, one Electric Motor and one Circuit on a crafting table: three Iron across the top row, Fluid Cell, Electric Motor and Fluid Cell across the middle row, Iron, Circuit and Iron across the bottom row. The grid yields one Fluid Regulator (LV).

  2. 2

    Charge the machine with EU

    Connect Fluid Regulator (LV) to a source of EU. Without a charge, the machine moves no fluid at all.

  3. 3

    Point the grey circle at a container

    Find the grey round circle on the casing of Fluid Regulator (LV) — that side is the output. Place a fluid storage container directly against that side.

  4. 4

    Set the amount and the interval

    Open the interface and choose how much fluid to transfer and how often to transfer that amount, in seconds or in ticks.

Tick or second?

One tick equals 1/20 of a second, so 20 ticks make exactly one second between transfers.
