Looking for a mod or mod developer who could integrate Thaumcraft's 'Essentia' with the forge fluid index.
Despite the lore being that Essentia is a fluid form of magic, Thaumcraft doesn't actually handle Essentia as an internal fluid, but rather as an item (in phials) or as metadata within certain blocks (distillation, warded jars, pipes, etc). I'd like to be able to store Essentia in containers that handle fluids from Forge's built-in adaptable fluidex.
If anything like this already exists, a link would be greatly appreciated!
If not, I'd like to request the following;
The mod would need to add a method for pumping Essentia in and out of containers with the correct conversion from vis points to millibuckets.
Since Thaumcraft's pipes don't support fluid pumping through them (but rather handle their contents as these vis points), one of three things would need to happen:
A set of special pipe conversion blocks would need to be made that could handle the conversion from vis to fluid and back. This would act like a connector between the handling of fluid and vis to bridge the gap between any tank mods and Thaumcraft, and would therefore be very adaptable for the purpose of integration with miscellaneous mods. They could potentially be redstone powered and toggle between input and output. (I see this as the best case scenario.)
A modification to Thaumcraft's pipes could be made which would allow them to automatically draw from and convert Essentia fluid to points of vis. (This could be difficult, considering tanks from different mods act differently, so integration might be awkward or unfeasible.)
If implementation of other methods are too difficult, a special tank block could be created just for the purpose of liquid storage and conversion. That way, rather than modifying Thaumcraft pipes, the tank would be the converter directly. If this were the case, they would preferably act similarly to OpenBlocks' tanks with their modular capability and ability to see the fluids inside. (This is the least flexible option, and preferably a last resort.)
Aside from looking nice by lending a new bulk method for storing Essentia in a visually appealing way, it could also open a myriad of new modular capabilities for new blocks and features for separate addons, integrations with other mods, or even future expansions to the base mod. (i.e., casting with TInkers' Construct).
I'm willing to help with production by producing models and textures, and a price can be negotiated if necessary. Depending on the success of the collaboration and how the mod turns out, I would be interested in continuing to expand on it with other related features; I have plenty in mind!
Feel free to send me a message, I'll check back for any offers. Thank you!
I always thought the reason for this was due to the fact that special magical containers and transportation systems were required to withstand the raw magic flowing through them.

Thank you very much for the suggestion!! I'm afraid it's not exactly what I'm looking for, though.
I know of Thaumic Energistics, however (and correct me if I'm wrong) the mod doesn't support storage of Essentia in misc. containers. It does add it to the fluid index (and is the only mod I know of that does so), but there is no way to pipe the Essentia into or out of a container outside of the mod, despite the fact that it can (technically) exist inside of one.
On top of that, I'd much prefer something that isn't a crossover in itself, because that would also require the installation of Applied Energistics which I don't always include in my modpacks.

Looks like a useful mod, but from the listed features I don't see anything about integration with the fluid index, which is what I'm looking for. I'll check it out when I have time to be sure, though.

Yeah, essentia fluid integration should be something that exists already ;\

If I helped you, please click the green up arrow.
Very true, but regardless I'd love the easy overflow storage without the hassle of void metal, and the integration with the liquid index.
what about this mod? It's a crossover mod between Thaumcraft and Applied Energistics

See if This mod is up to date.
WARNING:
My output of snark depends on your output of stupidity.
My patience wears thin on strawmen and lies.
I thought that Thaumcraft already added fluid integration? If not, this should definitely be a part of the base mod.
