Yeah, I'm running into that too. I go find out what I need, see what it entails on the wiki, then see if I have researched it. I'm finding more often than not that I have and the recipe doesn't exist, like with the salt beforehand. I think this game is a write-off, even after all the work I've done ...

EDIT: I did /c game.player.force.recipes["salt-water-electrolysis"].enabled = true on a guess, and it worked. but still, do you think I should just start again? :D

hmmm, now I seem to have the same problem, but with sodium hydroxide, particularly this recipe in the electrolyser : http://factorio ...

Woohoo! You're a star

Did you use angels-petrochem on your save at all? if so you might have to re-enable the salt recipe

This "might" be what you need

/c game.player.force.recipe["salt"].enabled = true

Alternatively Angels Refining should have a salt water electrolysis 2 recipe that uses saline-water instead of salt ...

Salt and Water in a Chemical Furnace (the red one, possibly locked behind a chemical processing tech, should be red science)

If you have Angels Mods the recipes are different depending on if you also have petrochem installed.

Hello :)

No, I don't have Angel's petrol chems because I got super ...

Apparently, with some careful engineering, it is possible to have a pipe network handle multiple liquids (but only one liquid at a time): https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35683


Whoa, that's super awesome, thank you for sharing that with me. That's something I'll give a go in one ...

Following on from the latter posts here I took ALL your suggestions and implemented them :)
For towns with room I've now got dedicated stations for certain fluids. For towns where there is little room I've been more selective, there are some circuit networks going.

You've all been a HUGE help. My ...

Hello,

I'm playing through with Bob's mods, and now I'm stuck because I can't make salt.

I've got a chemical furnace, I've done ALL the red+green research. I can't see salt in there as a recipe. So I'm stuck :(

I'm using Arumba's mod ...

Also, regarding barrells- I usually avoid them because I end up with empty barrells everywhere,

Trick is to limit steel barrel production with the logistic or circuit network.

I have used the logistic network to limit it up to now, but that, of course, only accounts for barrels in the current ...

From a quick test it looks like https://mods.factorio.com/mods/Optera/Inventory%20Sensor should work with RailTanker. It outputs the fake fluid item from the tanker that's next to it.
This should allow to enable pumps only if a certain liquid is detected.

Hi Choumiko, it appeared this mod might ...

Thank you Choumiko, I'll look into that ...

I also think a smart small pump with a filter would be a good safety net to stop cross contamination within the piping system. It could be implemented whenever there is risk of your pipes mixing up.

Pipes can only ever contain one type of fluid. So if you put even a tiny amount of water in a pipe, that pipe won't accept any oil while it contains water.

I understand what you mean. I think you are saying that I couldn't switch between things, because the pipe is already contaminated.
I posted ...

He's a She :)

And these are all really good ideas, thank you! I'll do some experimenting with the ideas you've put forward and let you know how it goes. This will be fun!

Also, regarding barrells- I usually avoid them because I end up with empty barrells everywhere, but this could work well in my ...

Um, someone else may need to try modding for this, this is haaaard.
Anyone got ideas about how this might be achieved using the circuit network?

I would like to be able to add filters to small pumps, even if just one filter, so the pump will ONLY pump that specific liquid. I've tried making a mod, but I honestly suck, I'll keep trying but I'm sure someone could do it way faster than I could (I may never get there!).
It'd be neat if it would ...

You probably need to use barrels.

Greetings steinio.

Oh bummer, but you're probably right. :) This sounds like a workaround that won't break the town in the meantime. Plus, you can have inserters all along the rail car, rather than just in the middle-ish. So my platform would be more efficient ...

Hello,

When unloading a rail car you can use filter inserters to only unload what you need, how do you do this with rail tankers?

I'm going all Bentham and have a giant widespread Factorio towns going on. However, I have one station where I need lubricant and sulphuric acid delivered (I decided I ...
