Heated Liquids / Warmed/Cooled Fluids (for Chemical Production Optimization ...)

Post by ssilk »

The current usage for heated liquids is to store work in them. Best example is heating the water to use them in steam engines to produce electricity.

The basic idea of this suggestions are to warm/heat/cool liquids for more reasons than that.

Either to
- increase some of the production factors of chemical processing (productivity, speed...) or to
- even enable production of some item/liquid.

Important to know/understand:
1. There is a major change to fluids in v0.15: The steam engines will work then with "real" steam, not hot water. See https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-164
2. The devs said somewhere in v0.9 when introducing the oil-processing that they played around with heated liquids, but found that too complicated for the vanilla.
3. Control of the temperature of liquid means, to use the circuit network. Which is defined as an optional game-element. Which means: controlling the liquid temperature by a sensor in a circuit network is in any case an option. The game should work also without it! (somehow slower, not so effective of course.)
