Kabrute Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 by overlapping them. Bridge in and bridge out to prevent packet confusion but if you overlap 2 bridges facing the same direction you can fuse the middle 2 ports and outlet together and create a packet overflow buffer that builds up to 1kg)10kgliquid) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/94517-pipe-bridge-combiner/#findComment-1073941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started by just strapping one onto the existing pipe going back in the other direction and it kept running the liquid back until it got a full packet, then it started letting a mix of full and small ones through. Then I added a second one and now it's just all small going through.

psusi Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Ahh, got it. The pipe has to have a break in it so that the output of the second bridge can only go downstream, and the output of the first bridge feeds back.

Try changing your valve values so that they are fractions of 10 and less(equal) than 5.

If you are using Steam and taking pictures with F12, after closing the game, by default you should get the "screenshot uploader" pop up. It has a button for "Show on Disk" under the thumbnails between "Select all" and "View Online Library". Clicking "Show On Disk" will open the screenshot folder for the specific game in Fire Explorer. You can also find the "Screenshot uploader" with the option to "Show on Disk" located in the Steam Client under "View" then "Screeshots" towards the bottom of the menu. The "Screenshot Uploader" accessed via the Steam overlay curiously does not have this button, however. Answering the question of the OP. Here's a thread from a guy on Reddit that has a few examples and how they work.

But I know that in AU if you exceeded around 2million kcals stored, it would flip the sign integer on that particular HUD element. Looks by Oil upgrade they hadn't addressed it. I haven't bothered banking that many kcals since, so I don't know if it still does it.

Notice the placement of shutoff and element sensor. Thanks.. I had to study it for a while to figure out how it worked then built a similar one. Key point is that the fluid goes through the first bridge until it is full ( because it is backing up at the closed valve ), then overflows to the second bridge, which triggers the sensor to open the valve until the flow returns to the first bridge.
