The barrel to oil conversion is not working.
the chemichal plant is not giving any output neither the fluid neither the empty barrel.

i have the same problem

this broke my factory.

Is not working for me either. also has broken my entire factory.

This is a consequence of increasing the barrel size and not properly testing :/ The reason why it is broken is that the internal storage of the chemical plant is not able to hold the amount produced by unloading the barrel with crude oil (now 25l before 10l). This will be fixed, but there is also a simple workaround for now:

Open the file data/base/prototypes/entities.lua and insert a following line after lines 3584 and 3592.
This increases the output fluid sections (aka fluid_box) of the chemical plant and then they can hold the crude-oil from the barrel just fine.

You mean the file data/base/entity/entities.lua , right?
Also the line 3592 is referred to before or after we insert the first? ( I guess it doesn't matter as long as its inside the correct brackets but just to be sure...)

Here the image of the file i modified, taested and now full barrels are working.
