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 solved this by putting a valve on the extractor water near the junction to limit it and prevent back flow. I also reduced the extractor to the correct amount, though I don’t think that’s necessary.
IIRC, this is also the solution in the FICSIT Pipeline Manual. It’s always worth another read through!
…There’s a FICSIT Pipeline Manual???
Oh, boy! You’re in fire a treat. This thing is amazing. Enjoy!
