i came here to read about fluids, now im confused. Sounds like you're trying to understand the basics of how to do fluid stuff in Factorio? If so, you're in the wrong thread, since here we're discussing the details of the models that Factorio uses to simulate its fluids, and how that affects throug...

Factorio 0.15.22 released Changes: Inserters will no longer drop what they are holding when disabled by the circuit network. I think this breaks the fuel loading. Indeed—I'm looking at a blackout right now. I intend to stick to 0.15.21 for the time being, where I can, since it seems a number of peo...

Thanks. It is not throughput unlimited, no. Would need to marry two of them back-to-back [same as most other balancers]. The worst case throughput should be 50%. Mm, all right. For throughput-unlimited applications, I'll stick to the design I'm using now, as it's smaller than two of these in that c...

This post has some updated data on the fluid mechanics for 0.15. It seems like Factorio uses a model that models laminar vs. turbulent flow in each pipe segment (in a simple/linear way, but I'm still impressed!), so the rate of flow for a given distance of pipe, or how far you can take a pipe given...

I am always gratefully suprised of "quasi--physics" in factorio when i study any of its properties more closely. I wonder if its just coincidence or geniallity of the develompment team (maybe combination of both). My meaning of "quasi" is fact that a fundamental laws in here are...

Ooh, nice design! Always nice to save some space on 8-belt balancing.

Have you determined whether it's throughput-unlimited?
