This mod basically adds thirst and a thirst bar in the game.
Now, the quantum helmet is supposed to replenish hunger for you.
It would be rather annoying if you had this mod installed, and the quantum helmet only restored hunger and not thirst.
So I suggest that industrialcraft 2 detects whether that mod is installed and replenish thirst using something from the thirst mod.
Thanks.
