Somebody help me. Im trying to produce lithia water but theres no formula for it. With out this I cant produce lithum battiers.

Make a water pump, set it to produce lithia water.

In the future, make the thread title more descritive.

"How do I produce lithia Water?"

The only thing I see is filling barrels with lithia water and emptying lithia barrels

Odd. You might have installed it wrong, or are looking at wrong tab, or the icon is not obvious. Pumps should be able to produce normal water and lithia water, based on last time I played.
Screenshot of the recipe options?

Heres a screen shoot. This is mod version 0.13. This is from a pump mk3

This was changed in .13 version.

extract the bobconfig mod and change this line in the config.lua file

-- If set to true, this will turn on the old recipes to get water and lithia water from nothing on the water pumps.
bobmods.config.plates.EnableGroundWater = false

to

bobmods.config.plates.EnableGroundWater = true

There should be ground and lithia water resource patches around if you havent changed these options, just look out for them.

As from a few days before the release of 0.13...
"Ground water" and "Lithia water" were removed as a recipe, and added as patches on the ground that you can mine like Oil. The mining mod even adds a water pumpjack that is more efficient at mining water, but can't mine oil.

Also yeah what Arch66angel and bobingabout said. If its a new world in .13 you should have water patches and won't need the config change. Not sure if they spawn automatically in an old world though.

They don't. But you remind me, I'm not sure if I even added them to the regenerate script I wrote.

For info. I have world created on 0.13. Now updated on 0.13.2 with all updated bob mods and lithium water generates on new parts of map. Now... I must find they way how to kill thousands of bugs. Bob! We need at least A-10 into the game!

still need help. Cant you just update the mod and add the recipes

I'm not sure whats the help you want.
You either need to use config file to enable them(it's a fallback option) or go around and try to find lithia water sources.

where do I find lithia water sorces. Also can you teach me how to config the files. Im on mac

Try to enter this in console: This will cancel achievements tho. Not sure if there is other way - lithia water should also appear if you uncover more map. It looks like blue oil patch.
Config files on mac - sorry no idea there MacOS is known for making people do things the hard way.

Install the config mod
open config.lua in your favorite text editor (Must be a raw text editor like notepad on windows, if you use a word processor, it'll effectively save garbage the game doesn't understand)
I don't have the mod here to tell you the line in the file, but, turn off ground water listed under ores, and it'll automatically enable though ground water recipe in the water pump.
HOWEVER, you'll also need to enter a command to enable the recipe again in an existing game, so... you'll still be stuck in the same situation. you basically need to just explore and find some.

also, make sure you're either not using RSO, or using the latest version of it, RSO wasn't compatable with Lithia water.

I have a similar problem in my current map. RSO is installed and the game was created shortly after bobs released initial versions for 0.13. I thought about spawning lithium to my current map using something along the lines.:

/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="crude-oil", position=game.player.position, amount=10000}

I cant find the ID name for the lithum water node in the .lua files though.

2nd question: would RSO in the most recent version spawn more lithium sources in areas which are currently unexplored once they are revealed/generated?

Thanks.

I'm not the best person to ask about RSO, but as I understand it, the latest version should spawn Lithia water.

And, the internal name is "lithia-water"

Latest RSO versions will generate lithia water and ground water sources. Not sure how balanced they are - hard to tell for me.
Early game stages it might be worth to use RSO's regenerate to get them asap - if you have lots of outposts etc this is less feasible since it will mean rebuilding them in different places since all ore locations will be randomized. (how to do that - please see RSO insctructions thread)
Without regeneration there is a normal chance for them to spawn in newly discovered regions (region is 7x7 chunks by default).

is there any way to get a list of locations for lithium water? I mean if I have the map exchange string could I run some program over it to give the locations of the recourse?
