telem.input.mekanism.chemicalTank (
  peripheralID: string,
  categories?: string[] | '*'
)

Mod Dependencies

Requires Mekanism.

See the Usage section for a complete list of the metrics in each category.

Name	Type	Default
peripheralID	string	nil
Peripheral ID of the Chemical Tank
categories	string[] | "*"	{ "basic" }
List of metric categories to query. The value "*" can be used to include all categories, which are listed below. { "basic", "advanced", "storage" }

Usage

local telem = require 'telem'

local backplane = telem.backplane()
  :addInput('my_chemicalTank', telem.input.mekanism.chemicalTank('right', '*'))
  :cycleEvery(5)()

Given a Chemical Tank peripheral on the right side of the computer, this appends the following metrics to the backplane (grouped by category here for clarity):

Basic

Name	Value	Unit
mekchemtank:fill_item_count	0 - inf	item
mekchemtank:filled_percentage	0.0 - 1.0
mekchemtank:drain_item_count	0 - inf	item

Advanced

DUMPING_MODES = { IDLE = 1, DUMPING_EXCESS = 2, DUMPING = 3 }

Name	Value	Unit
mekchemtank:dumping_mode	DUMPING_MODES value

Storage

Name	Value	Unit
mekchemtank:stored	0.0 - inf	B
mekchemtank:capacity	0.0 - inf	B
mekchemtank:needed	0.0 - inf	B

Storage

If the tank contains a chemical, a storage metric is added for the chemical. Given a chemical tank with the following contents:

The following metric would be added:

Name	Value	Unit
storage:mekanism:ethene	47	B
