Ah yes thanks for reminding me, thats an issue which was pointed out earlier. There are two solutions: Either have it that the filter material and the frame are separated and only the filter material gets destroyed on a chance, or make the filter indestructable and have it run through a cleaning cycle after use.BlakeMW wrote:Petrochem looks awesome.
Issue report with refining mod:
Coal Filtering vs Ceramic FilterEach filter cycle creates enough mineral sludge to crystalize 0.8 metals, the ceramic filter is not really a good deal even on it's own terms - when compared with coal filtering it's at least 10x more expensive in terms of sunk energy cost per filter cycle.
- The Coal Filtering recharge consumes 0.2 coal per filter.
- The Ceramic Filter "recharge" on average loses 0.2 of a ceramic filter (each of which costs 1 alumina, 1 steel and 1 iron plate), or in other words 0.2 Alumina and 1.2 Iron per filter.
Good catch, missed that one, I increased the amounts for fluids everywhere so the pipes don't look so empty. I will change the ceramics to be indestructible, you need to clean/wash them out after use, ceramics filtering recipe will be faster, but clean a smaller amount so you need more filters per filtration unit. So the cost to setup and the throughput is higher, but the cost to keep it running is down to the energy cost for cleaning the filters (maybe adding an override to petrochems to require the recipe a basic chemical).orzelek wrote:Also the crystal slurry ceramic filtering is slightly broken since it returns 1 crystal seedling out of 5 slurry.
As for aluminium filters - I'm not convinced to start using them. Also 0.8 ceramic filter in recipe is a probability AFAIK so you can lose the frame in the pocess (at least thats how it works on slurry to ores from short observation).
Would you be willing to add different ore combination to create gem seeds?
I asked this earlier, and I think the response was that the usual oil-based synthetic wood recipe is going away in petrochem.BlakeMW wrote:It seems to be intended as a way to "stretch" heavy oil but I don't really get it. You can turn 3 heavy oil directly into 6 synthetic wood, or you can turn 3 heavy oil into 3 resin, and add 15 cellulose fiber to get 5 synthetic wood? Seems like it should be at least 10 or 12 to justify the added complexity.orzelek wrote:And it needs resin - so you'd need to pipe some heavy oil there still to make resin out of it then use it to make synthetic wood. Might be worth playing around with it in very low oil circumstances.

i'd rather have that valve to be circuit connectable. Don't know if it's bob's or yourskinnom wrote:Maybe a small tank for the circuit networkArch666Angel wrote: BTW: More tanks?

The valves are tank entities, they are the same as in GotLags FlowControl, thats because I asked him to have permission to integrate parts of his mod into petrochem with matching graphics. -> Tank entities means they are circuit connectable, the check valve does nothing else than provide a circuit connection (has to be tested if it hinders flow), the non return only allows flow in one direction, the overflow only activates if fluidlevel on the input side is above 80% and the converter valve turns fluids from my mod to matching fluids of other mods/base game.safan wrote:i'd rather have that valve to be circuit connectable.
