You can put air into a mixing bowl

,

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Attach an air vent to a Drum.
  2. Use a wrench to set the Drum to fill vertically adjacent tanks.
  3. Put the Drum on top of a Mixing Bowl.
  4. Profit?

I haven’t tested this with any other forms of air (e.g. nether air, ender air, etc), or any other gases for that matter but they may work as well.

But what’s the exploit here though?
The only things you can make are Sulfur Trioxide and Hydrochloric Acid. At this stage of the game, i bet users would want to use a Mixer to make those things anyways.

Edit: And many other gasses, the mixing bowl is unsuitable as they are lighter than air and will simply escape.

There is no exploit as far as I know. It’s just something unusual I found while experimenting that I figured probably wasn’t intended to be possible.

Yeah, it occurred to me after I posted that the reason it might have allowed air into the mixing bowl was because it “typically moves down” as the tooltip for that fluid puts it, but I tried it with another heavier-than-air gas I had lying around (Fluorine) and it doesn’t go in.

It goes down and it is a simple Fluid, so yeah, that is allowed. I will turn the < check around and make a !> check out of it. Yes I know that would be a <= check, but a Utility Function is used, so there is a level of abstraction.

It seems to have no practical use, because it seems that all mixing recipes involving air require at least two fluids.

Since it was mentioned, I figured I’d ask: I’ve seen the term “Simple Fluid” in various tooltips but I’m not entirely clear on what it implies. If something is a “Simple Fluid”, does that just mean you can put it in low-level containers like the Mixing Bowl, Bathing Pot, Wooden Pipes and Wooden Barrels? Are there any other implications?

Yeah it is for low level earlygame Containers, specifically Containers made of Wood in most cases.
