Harlequin80 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I started transitioning from ethanol to petroleum for my petrol generators. I did this by directing petroleum into my existing ethanol pipe network. Long story short all my gens are now non-functional due to insufficient combustable liquid. Internally they are all things like 19.7 Petrol 300mg ethanol or vice versa. Is there any way to solve this other than deconstructing each gen and filtering to two liquids?

Siromatik Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 If you have two different elements in your build, deconstruct it is the only way unfortunately, except build with manual delivery you have no "Empty Storage" command on Petro Gen. I usually just dont touch at pipes, extend them a bit and build a mechanical filter to clear them. When pipes only contain the new appropriate liquid i destroy this filter extension too. There's a bug report for this behavior can't find it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyMonroe Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 To solve your immediate issue you'll need to deconstruct. It is probably possible to do a mixed input petrol gen setup with some automation but to be honest I doubt it's worth it when it's so much simpler to just build 2 generators. If you wanted to do something like that as an exercise I'd guess you use latches and element sensors to count the input of each element and switch/reset them, but that would require only full packets in the pipe (Which can be done through more automation further up the line) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
