Fluid Refund when Changing Oil Production

Post by 3LollipopZ »

Hey

I shed a little tear when I want to change the chemical plant or refinery production purpose as it appears to waste the fluid within it.
Oh, the sadness.

Not that I can find... Storage tanks are handy and using pumps you can fuel your master liquid factory.

It just needs the 200 or 100 parts of oil / liquid to be reduced to 10 or 20 part.

This is not true. If you go here you will see what I mean. With the exception of Lubricant you can 'pump back' and even stop the flow of liquid. Lubricant seems to be the exception. Or it might be anything that is itself produced from the chemical factory. (Rather than a base oil liquid)

yeah, oil, although limitless, slows down to fricken annoyingly slow :) (which I love and please do not change that)
It's just a shame to waste a resource when most other resources are so valuable.

It has been stated that the liquid storage will go down to 2x input for recipe. That will get rid of most waste. I suppose the rest could be automatically pumped back to network if not full.

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but if you break a pipe and let the machines run out, that is minimal waste.

On the other hand, changing the recipe to nothing on the chemical plant will also stop production and allow you to run out what is stored downstream from the chemical plants (same is true for the refineries). Again, slightly wasteful, as oil queues up in the chemical plant/refinery, but still very low.
