Hi,
ive got the following setup



The problem is that the plant doesnt want to make sulfur. If I switch for example to plastic the petroleum gets pumped in. If I switch to sulfur acid, the water gets pumped in, but if I set it to sulfur nothing gets pumped in and thus sulfur is not being made. Any suggestions?

Is there any other fluid left in the last pice of the gas input pipe?

Nope, its water 15 degrees and petroleum 25 degrees on the last pipe piece in front of the plant. I really cannot find out what the problem is, since there seems to be no problem with the input. Both water and petroleum come into that plant when setting the plant to produce something else.

Press alt, maybe you have the inputs switched.

Ok, solved it.
When pressing ALT you see what needs to come in where. You need to put the water in the one entry and the petroleum in the other and not the other way around.




Would be nice when the devs would change that

The function of alt-key seems to be alarmingly unknown. Maybe add a HUD button/indicator with ALT written on it? That'd make people try to hit the key to see what it does.
