Mixed fluid system

5 days ago

Hi,

Thanks for a great suite of mods! A few questions;

  1. the mixed fluid pipe seems pretty handy, but why does it only allow 450 and not 900 as per its markings? Fine if that’s the choice but then the markings are off.

  2. you mention a pipe sorter; is that something you need to build out of vanilla things? I have looked all over and done in game searches, but I can’t find it. Is it perhaps put in as like an ore sorting mechanism, as I’m playing this one game I’m in without ore sorting - in that case it won’t be showing up I suppose. However, it should; I can use flat sorters and u-shape sorters in this game just fine.

  3. as I can’t sort the fluids atm I haven’t used it, but is there some way of managing fluid throughputs? Or will it just balance?

Tha ks in any case for the mods, loving them. I’m not sure if I can sneak a stealthy suggestion in here, but a steam reformer would be nice - any steam in, any steam out in a volume applicable to the new pressure.

Hi and thanks!

You can find pipe sorter in my building category if you have researched it.
Mixed pipe is limited to 450 to balance it a bit since it can carry more fluids. It can be boosted by boost++. I don't see it says 900, were do you see this?

Oh I didn’t see the number, but the model is the Pipe IV, with the 4 chevrons. So I assumed it would do 900, that’s all really.

So it does 450 of every fluid you manage to direct in? Awesome. :)

weird. I really don’t have it. I’ll try to load a save with ore sorting enabled, see if it pops up. :)

Ah you mean the look yeah i just change the icon to look different to stick out. I haven't found a way to recolor it in game since it changes color depending on fluid going in it. I will see if i can find a way in future.

That is strange i but might be because of that since its is a ore sorter proto.

So, I started a game with ore sorting enabled, and indeed, the pipe sorter showed up. So that solves the mystery. :)

The flat sorter and the U-shape sorter are available in both modes of the game, as is the mixed fluid pipe itself.

Check new version. it now fixes it for you save. I just tested it and it works when ore sorting mode is off. It will now show up for you. Thanks again for reporting on it!
