About this Mod
Graduated Cylinders
Take away the pain of manual fluid management and give finer control over moving fluids between tanks.
Overview
While holding any item which can contain fluids in your main hand (i.e. a bucket, Thermal Expansions' reservoir, a Mekanism tank, etc.), punch any placed block which can also hold fluids (i.e. a Tinkers' Construct seared tank, Extra Utilities 2 drum, GregTech machines, etc.) to open the transfer GUI. Here, you can choose the amount in milibuckets to transfer and the direction. You can also transfer fluids between two items, by right-clicking one on top of the other in an inventory.
Also supports the Mekanism Gas API! Do manual chemistry a bit easier now without worrying about voiding precious gasses in machines.
