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
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.
