Pipes problem

[Lkgv]

Hi

I'm new! Fantastic game!

So I'm trying to make sulfur, and I don't understand why this doesn't work

The 2 plants on the top side don't work, but the pipes are connected and they're full of petroleum, but the plants don't get filled. What am I doing wrong?

The 3 plants below work fine though.

Thanks!

I guess you already tried to remove the plant and put it back? or change the recipe and put it back? It seems weird indeed.

please check the content of the pipe. the collor of the window is too black, as if there is oil. if there is oil then just replace this pipe.

That was it, 1 piece of pipe was filled with crude oil, thanks!

Yeah I've found it's rather hard to 'flush out' your pipes if a different material gets in there accidentally when you're building your network. It would be nice if there was <0.1 of one liquid in a pipe higher volume liquids would just over-write it, for example.

Actually there is such a logic already. When two fluids "clash" then under some circumstances (like one of them has a very low level) the lower one is pushed away from the pipe. If there is nowhere to push it, it is simply destroyed. In this case I guess there was just too much of the crude oil.
