Boiler recipe: one water to 10 steam

Post by darkfrei »

Is it possible to add to the boiler prototype the result_amount?

The fluids by boilers are defined just with names, but without amounts, so it will be always 1:1 proportion between input and output fluids:

Code: Select all

data.raw.boiler.boiler.fluid_box.production_type = "input-output" 
data.raw.boiler.boiler.fluid_box.filter = "water" 

data.raw.boiler.boiler.output_fluid_box.production_type = "output" 
data.raw.boiler.boiler.output_fluid_box.filter = "steam"

I saw your post and had an idea.

Could you instead use a pumpjack model? Some mods use "fracking" fluid as a required and consumed ingredient. The boiler could be like a pumpjack that requires water and consumes it on input, and generates X amount of steam per-cycle, running on a burner-chemical energy source.
I have mods! I guess!
