Ok I am using Factorio .15.18 experimental along with all of bob's mods and Angel's mods, and for the life of me I can't figure out HOW TO MAKE MUD. I have looked everywhere and it just not showing up under any production facility.

In other words you need mud and water as inputs into a liquifier plant to get the viscous mud water but I can't freaken make mud at all. Its driving me crazy. PLEASE how is mud made? When I mouse over it, it says Angel's Refining but I go through all the refining plants and no way to make mud.

The seafloor pump produces viscous mud water, which can then be further processed in washing plants.

Damn, the problem with the seafloor pump is it doesn't say what it produces at all, you look at it and it says nothing. I tried to use the seafloor pump but it didn't show anything.

No problem, I happened to run into the same problem and ended up checking every angel building ;)

Angel: Maybe the seafloor pump could be renamed to "seafloor mud pump" or "sea mud pump" or even just "mud pump"?

^^
even though it was pretty obvious to me, I can see how people could miss that, and the search bar won't find it.

I had the exact same search. Even google didn't help me much. And it doesn't come up with mods like "What's it really used for?" Definitely, definitely put "mud" somewhere in the name of that pump. "Seafloor Mud Pump" is my vote.

This took me 2 hours of trying out with a friend I'm playing with. We were totally stumped by this problem.
Thanks for telling us about the seafloor pump. I would never have figured this out.

Personally I use this one:

https://factorio.rotol.me/pack/bobsangels-f15-normal/

Which describes products for bob and angels. Only problem is that it have not been updated for 0.16, so it is still the 0.15 recipies. So some of it is a bit dated(Aka wrong).

Cripes! I've spent a day on this and the pump only does one thing and that's extract viscous mud water from a body of water. Thanks for this thread!
That is, if you want clay then you've got to begin with this mud water. Clay gives clay bricks and hence lots of handy machinery in ore management.
