I'm unsure if this is a bug.
I've got this entire oil line setup and my first chemical factories set to produce plastic; they work fine.
Now I've setup another one to make sulfur (for a battery chain), but it won't accept any input!
To be clear, both Petroleum Gas and Water are piped to separate inputs, yet NO items show up in it's inventory.
Save:

I just bought this game and this is the first non-ui problem that I've run into.
Will some knowledgeable people please take a look?

You piped the ingredients to the wrong inputs. If you hover over the chemical plant, it will show you icons over each of its inputs that tell you what ingredient that input expects. If you hook up the inputs right, your plant works just fine.

Hit alt and play with that "UI" turned on, it will help a lot.

Yeah playing with advanced info on by hitting the ALT key will help a lot. Most likely you just piped the water and petro gas to the wrong inputs.

Alright, thanks.
So these factories arn't intelligent enough to accept the liquid inputs to any input port?
Odd, the physical ones can be inserted anywhere.

The liquid input seems to be determined by the recipe order.
seems to be designed that what, not sure why maybe wasn'T possible otherwise.
As for know there is not much but living with it

I consider it a must to play with ALT turned on.

Well i don't really. I usually turn it on to see where my inputs are or if i search something, but then turn it of.
I like to see the animations far more then that overlay icon.
It's helpful but no must be on at all times.
