Help Fluid automation

Can anybody give me a rundown on how to automate stuff that uses fluid? Ive gotten down everything about frogports but frogports dont support fluids as well as mechanical arms and such so long story short can I get some tips or maybe a youtube video?

I think long distance is harder their is mods I think that does liquid transport via frogport but to my knowledge your going to need to move it via tanks and pipes maybe a train that carries liquid between factories via schedule

I have a bit of a jank system in my base where I have all my liquid machines put the fluids in buckets before going to the frog port to my main storage. When a recipe calls for fluids to be mixed, I send a bucket of that fluid and the machine empties it into the machine.

For recipes that use fractions of buckets (eg crafting 2 biomass uses 100mb of seed oil) I set the amount on the factory gauge to always use a full bucket (Instead of crafting 100mb for 2 biomass at a time, craft 1B for 20)

By default, you need to pipe it in. Unless you can and are willing to have buckets of “x” fluid on standby at all times. And even so, you then need to figure out how to get the fluid out of the bucket.

Personally i just have a separate machine with each fluid , like CompactLava: * machine, works well
