[79.9]TFC bottle not interacting with other mods

[Azaysol]

TFC went from using the vanilla bottle in 1.6.4 to its own codded one in 1.7.10. This is causing an issue with Railcraft since it wont fill up with other mods liquids it seems, in particular in this case it is Creosote Oil.

I think that many issues can rise from having TFC specific items to replace vanilla. Would there be a way to force TFC stacksize to vanilla items, something like what Thaumcraft does when it add essentia values to Vanilla items ?

No. 1.7 made all vanilla items final, so TFC is no longer able to edit them. That's why so many things have their own TFC versions now.

[Azaysol]

is there a way to make this work?

I do like the idea of size and weight of items in tfc, but If I had the choice, I would do two things

• remove size from the tooltip and only keep it for the items that do not fit in chest like the minecart and sluice
• create tfc version of vanilla items only if they should not stack to 64

pro

• no need for tfc specific item
• less line for translation
• less textures
• less compatibility problem
• smoother integration of new mods in a modpack (as all items would not have the default items size tooltip)

con

• remove a TFC specific feature

It might be possible to get the glass bottle to work with fluids from other mods if the glass bottle implemented the IFluidContainerItem.

Even if was changed to implement IFluidContainerItem, the other mod would need to handle the filling/draining of fluids from items that implement IFluidContainerItem.
