Pre-1.0 I had aluminum factories that took the waste water from aluminum scrap and fed it back to the alumina solution refineries. However, in my new 1.0 world I can’t seem to get it to flow correctly.
I’ve tried several solutions, including:
- putting the waste water lower in the junction than the fresh water
- adding a valve to the waste water to prevent backflow
- adding a valve to the waste water to only supply the amount not provided by the fresh water
The only think I have not done yet is decrease the water extractor rates, mostly because I don’t recall having to do that before when I used a valve.
Any tips? Anyone else had success in 1.0
I hope someone has a solution. I gave up and started packaging the liquid and exchanging them for tickets for now.
I’ve been reading that wet concrete is a good option, so you don’t have to use plastic or anything for the containers
Never heard of it… I’ll look into it! Thank you!
It’s an alt recipe, so you’d need to unlock it with a hard drive roll first.
That makes a lot of sense. Good excuse to do hard drive hunting!
I recently spent a bunch of time hunting for drives and you really get to enjoy all the beautiful biomes. Plus grab spheres and sloops along the way.
Got so many drives that I ran out of recipes to unlock! I’m at Tier 8 and haven’t even hit the hard drive achievement. This is great since I now have a lot of options for how to use different areas of the map that were previously gonna be a pain because a resource was far. The alts mean I don’t need some things or can produce a lot more of something that was sparse.
Smart! I wish I would have thought of that before I got here. I picked up a few today, no wet concrete yet.
