Mark water input in basic oil processing recipe

Post by Boogieman14 »

One frustration that I think many have experienced, is where one has an oil refinery set up with basic oil processing and then after switching to Advanced Oil Processing find out that you picked the wrong input for the crude oil. For an experienced player, this mistake (which I at least still make, because I just can't remember which goes where) is generally calculated in so it's a minor change. For a beginning player, who's building stuff in too small areas, it can lead to a suboptimal experience. It would be great if the basic oil processing recipe would either use just the one input for oil that's also used for advanced, or if that's not possible perhaps add a water input to basic oil. (Water is basically a free resource anyway - the cost of an off-shore pump and some pipe is negligable at this point in the game)
I don't have OCD, I have CDO. It's the same, but with the letters in the correct order.

Heres a easy trick for remembering

Water goes on the Heavy Side.

Feel free to get that tattooed somewhere on your body, so you will always remember :)

The real frustration is that water goes in the left side of the oil refinery, but the right side of chemical plants for cracking. It's basically designed to mess with your head. :D

Are you calling water fat? 'Cause that's mean! :lol:
