Yes, this is possible without Mods. But, it is not great:
  • Each Pipeline (pipe network) can only contain 1 Fluid at a time
  • You have to use Filters on Pumps to separate Products at the other end of the Pipeline
  • A circuit network is needed to keep Pumps from “hydrolocking” on the wrong fluid
  • Throughput is less than just running 1 Pipeline per Fluid
  • Circuits and Pumps take up as much space as you save
Have you considered using Barrels? :twisted:

I saw a video of doing that. I am playing with the Pneumatic Transport mod (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/pneumatic-transport-redux) and it will be really nice to do fluid mixing without circuit network (it limits thoughput) and i also use Factoriosimo (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/factoriss ... otnotmelon) which does not accept this (there is like a pump to inside)
