This is a tiny mod that adds a single item: the Phantom Pipe. It erases any fluid that enters it every 5~ seconds or so.
Current version: 1.0.2

I made a forum account just to say thanks for this, so thanks!
Edit: This actually causes a crash with DyTech installed if you mouse over the corpse to gems recipes from an assembler. I fixed it by changing
Code: Select all
results = {{type = "fluid", name = "water", amount = 0}}
to
Code: Select all
results = {{type = "fluid", name = "heavy-oil", amount = 0}}
I think it's some weird recipe resolving thing that gets confused and tries to divide by 0 as it spits out
Code: Select all
Error in function boost::math::round<double>(double): Value 1.#INF can not be represented in the target integer type.
doesn't happen when it outputs 0 heavy oil though

Ah.. it sounds like some type of recursive recipe lookup issue where it's trying to calculate the "total cost" for a recipe and this adds a "0 water from water" recipe. I'll change it to something else (like oil).
EDIT: now that I think about it using any fluid type might have issues if it is a recursive recipe lookup issue. I'll add a dummy fluid and have it craft 50 water to 0 of that fluid then it shouldn't happen with any existing recipe.

I've not tried it myself, but, have you tried setting this?
Alternatively, instead of a fluid, how about you instead use an item with a probability of 0?
Code: Select all
results =
{
{type="item", name="copper-ore", amount=1, probability = 0},
},
Like I said, I've tried neither of these, but it might be worth a shot.

I use steam engines to drain the water. I don't even have to boil the water first, it just disappears in the engines anyway.
This would maybe be a bit fancier way to do it though.

I tried that before using heavy-oil, it will always give you 1 item even if it's set to 0. Fluids 0 means 0.
I also picked Heavy Oil as it was the only thing I could think of that doesn't really have any recipes. It doesn't crash when you hover over the refinery recipes and seems to behave just fine with the Liquid Station mod (for barreling all the fluids!)
A dummy fluid would probably be better like "Rsedings91's Dark Matter" but Heavy Oil seems good enough for now.

After looking into it more, it looks like the proper way to use probability is this:
Code: Select all
results =
{
{type="item", name="copper-ore", amount_min=1, amount_max = 5, probability = 0.5}
}
That would give a 50% chance to produce between 1 and 5 copper-ore. The other 50% of the time it would produce nothing. Setting probability to 0 would cause it to produce nothing all the time.

Again though, you probably don't want to use copper ore as the result, because it could be used in a recipe and therefore calculated as a component part of a more complex recipe.
I personally use Iron Ore as a component for my Ferric Chloride recipe, so if you used Iron ore, and my mod, it might lead to problems, someone else might have done somethng else with copper ore.

It should be in the assembly machine under the same tab as the other fluids. Possibly the assembly machine 2.

Updated and re-branded the mod. It's now "Fluid Void" and adds a pipe that voids any fluid in it every 5~ seconds or so.

There is a Desync Bug in MP
If you try to connect to the Server you get a Desync loop , sadly
Please Fix it

Everything I've tested says the pipes work perfectly in MP. I literally as I type this up have 2 clients going connect to each other with void pipes erasing water without any desyncs.
You're most likely experiencing some other desync bug.

I have posted this on the mod
https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=6826 (offshore dump) too, but as i have a feeling that that mod was created with 0.11 in mind, i shall say it here too.
I am still using 0.10.12, so would it be possible to still give a link to the older version? I seriously need this, and am not fortunate enough to update yet (dad is admin on my computer and lost his password
)

It's not possible to make a 0.10 version of this mod. The 0.10 version doesn't have support for fluid in the mod API. Just update to 0.11 - there's no reason not to.

More specifically, fluid 'editing' was only added in 0.11, before that it was read-only.
So you'd be better off having a firm conversation with your dad about proper password management (and make yourself admin while you're at it).

I am currently playing a 0.12.5 version of the game with three dozen different mods, which is why I haven't updated the game.
I have tried both the >=0.12.11 as well as the 0.11.x version of this mod, and both don't work.
Could you please post the correct older version for me? Would be very nice of you.

You'll have to update the mods you use or remove them. I don't support older versions of the current experimental version.
