The underground pipes are to the sides of the heavy oil output, with a single regular pipe (highlighted in the first image) between them to connect to the output. It's the same setup as the light and gas outputs, just adjacent to the refinery rather than with a spacing pipe. As mentioned, deconstruc...

What did you do? Starting up oil in Space Age, I built my refineries with pipes for the eventual output of light and heavy oil. When I researched advanced oil processing, I changed the recipes, enabling the additional fluid outputs. What happened? Two of the three outputs connected properly, but th...

As a fan of the uranium power mod, it seems like Nuclear power should have a long and complex enrichment chain (Uranium power, for example, has 0.7% to 4.7% uranium hexafluoride enrichment in 0.5% steps after building uranium hexafluoride from fluorite and uranite), but once you have the plant set u...

I like the idea of wind power, but I think we can do better than a fixed output at a cost. What if rather than generating a wind speed, a random wind direction was generated. Turbines facing toward or away from the wind would produce full power, turbines facing perpendicular to the wind would produ...

Boilers have a pollution value of 6, compared to the chem plant 1.8 and oil refinery 3.6[1]. That means that (based on your 'so much lubricant that it produces more pollution than boilers') comment that you would be looking at on the order of 2 lubricant per second per MW [2]. Not only is that an ab...

I think the problem is just that the input buffer doesn't scale with how fast the assembler crafts * how fast the recipe can be crafted. It should always be able to sustain the assembler for something like 5 seconds, or enough resources to craft one item, whichever is more. This - it seems like a r...

One would be using recipes which combine more types of crushed ores to get only product you are interested in (with catalyst or without if you disable them in config). Second which I'm mostly using atm is to have separate line that only crushes and sorts materials without further procesing for mass...

Great mod - really enjoying the added complexity that all the refining produces. However, I'm having a real problem getting iron production to any reasonable level[1]. I just got thermal refining and have what seems like the right setup there (two floatation cells -> two leeching plants -> one therm...
