Better Klein Bottle

Description
Inspired by the kleine bottle from the excellent [Fluid Storage][1] mod (whose author very kindly ends its description with blanket permission to use the code and textures, and from which I sourced some of the code and the in-game image of the item), this mod adds a Klein bottle: an extradimensional fluid storage container. As in the original mod, all liquids held therein are weightless (since they're contained in an extradimensional space)--except when under the effects of Normality.

This mods's bottles differ from the original's in the following ways:
- They can safely hold items at extreme temperatures, such as lava.
- They are immune to EMPs.
- They can safely store neutron flux. To prevent unfair instant game overs, this function is *not* influenced by Normality.
- They cannot be modded; this prevents them from cluttering up the tinkering menu if you have a lot.
- In the inventory, they are kept with other liquid containers, rather than artifacts.
- They change color based on the liquid they contain, and the liquid within is visible when sealed (as with phials).
- They're not made of glass, but some other vitrous substance. This has no in-game effect outside of the description.
- They're pretty springy. I imagine them as hoselike in texture.
- They're spelled correctly (sorry, Gravenwitch [author of the original]; your mod is excellent, but I'm a pedant).

FREQUENTLY QUESTIONED ANSWERS

Is this mod balanced?

- Absolutely. *snrk*...ha! ha! ha! ha! Sorry. I really must learn to say that with a straight face.

This ruins the intended experience of the game!

- Oh, yikes, I never thought of that. Well spotted; you'd better not install this, then--it sounds like you won't enjoy it.

BUGS

There are no bugs in this mod. Until you point them out, that is.

Is it working for 1.0?

Follow-up—can I get a version where normality doesn't work on these?

Nevermind, I'm an idiot who forgot about normality. Ah well.

After pouring convalessence from a waterskin I had into a regeneration tank, all of my (3) Klein bottles went back to weighing the proper, ludicrous amount. Rather unpleasant, and at the moment it has my character rather screwed. I may have to wish my way outta this one.

It won't override the bottles from Fluid Storage.

is this compatible with the khleine bottle form Fluid storage? Like will it override the bottles from fluid storage?

They should be added to loot tables; I know I've been finding them around. They're considered pretty high-level, so that may be it.

Zakastra: Hmm, that's odd, because I had the opposite problem playing without QudUX--I'd initially listed it as "Water Container" and it wound up in a separate inventory category. I'll take a look at that Sometime Soon™.

Are the klein bottles added to loot tables, and if so, how rare are they? I added it to a new game and haven't found one after 10 hours
