For the Factorio DrugLab mod a bigger chemical plant is needed. https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=44182 Video: [Agitator Bitumen Asphalt Production](https://youtu.be/IBvRghWF0rE/ "Asphalt production") Requirements: Needs to handle both Steam cracking and Agitation (of so...
I have tried to cut everything back to what "should" work: Using the same pumpjack that works with crude oil Using the same resource-category as crude oil Making the resource produce crude oil instead of the fracking fluid. Made mining fluid water It should be the same exact thing that wor...
Ignoring the issues with the resource I setup the original Fracking Station with the fluidboxes suggested by Bobingabout. This seem to be all working like advertised, expect for the fact that the resource is not yielding anything. Frackting Station setup with the propper fluidboxes_ running not prod...
Question is: What could be wrong with the "fracking-sludge-dl" ressource? { type = "resource", name = "fracking-sludge-dl", icon = "__druglab__/graphics/icons/shalerock-dl.png",-- THIS IS FOR THE ROCK icon_size = 32, flags = {"placeable-neutral"}, ca...
Shale station is set to mine fracking-sludge-dl: Check! fracking-sludge-dl is set to yield crude oil: Check! Consequently the shale-station requires water to run: Check! Even so, the shale-station does not produce the crude oil! So nothing to suggest that the ressource "fracking-sludge-dl"...

It looks like your resource doesn't create a result, just consumes mining fluid and does nothing else - note the lack of an output slot in your screenshots. Nice! Had almost lost hope for a solution! I think i might try to emulate what you have working and then go from there. As should be obvious b...
Just in case I tried running the production with more separation between the input- and output boxes. But it made no real difference. boxestest2.png Again the input seems to work fine, the production is executed, but there is no output to the connected pipes. Probably because there is no functional ...
boxestest.png With your fluidbox definition I can get a running "production" as the input fluidbox will connect to the supply pipes. But there is nothing to suggest that any output fluidbox exists. At least there is no transfer taking place to the connected pipes on the east side of the e...
Look at the positions of your input and output fluidbox connections: ... output_fluid_box = { positions = { {1.45, -2.6}, {2.6, -1.45},{-1.45, 2.6}, {-2.6, 1.45} }}, input_fluid_box = { positions = { {-1.45, 2.6}, {-2.6, 1.45},{1.45, -2.6},{2.6, -1.45} }} ... They are the same. (But in a different ...
You made this building to be a mining drill. They might not support fluid boxes normally. In base game fluid box is somehow activated by placing the drill on ore that requires fluid to mine. Try making it into a furnance if you want automatic recipe selection or assembler for manual one. The pumpja...
