StarbuncleMania - Expanding Ars Nouveau Capabilities

This addon for the Ars Nouveau mod is in beta testing stage and represents a unique addition that allows creating magic-technology hybrids in the Ars Nouveau style. Instead of traditional technical pipes and cables, charming animal helpers are used here.

Main Features

The mod offers a system for converting Source into liquid form, allowing it to be stored in fluid tanks from other mods or in special tanks of this addon. A reverse function is also implemented - generating Source from fluids, for example, to convert liquefied Source back or use lava directly. All values are configurable through the configuration file.

Added Place/Drain Fluid glyphs for spell turrets that can fill or use adjacent tanks or compatible containers in the player's inventory (without using buckets).

New Starbuncles Accessories

The animals receive new work accessories that can be either functional or purely cosmetic for familiars:

• Side-sensitive item transportation: With Wyrm Degree, animals will learn to input/output items only from a specific side of the inventory

• Fluid transportation: Starbucket allows carrying fluids from one tank to another

• Energy transportation: Starbattery provides the ability to carry RF from a battery or generator to another energy acceptor

• Gas transportation [Mekanism]: Starballoon works only with "standard gases" - animals don't like to carry pigments, sludges and radioactive substances

• Item void: StarBin allows the squirrel to show its raccoon side and collect items from the ground. Don't forget to set a filter so it doesn't steal all your things (comes with black/gray skin)

• Mount: A bit as a joke and a bit work-in-progress - with a special saddle you can mount a giant Starbuncle and ride it

Planned Features

Future updates plan to add combat and healing professions for the animals, as well as integration recipes for liquefied Source with food-adding mods.
