Fluid Sorter / Pipe Sorter
These contraptions can sort fluids, similar to the Flat Sorter and U-Shape Sorter in the game, except each can only handle two fluids. You also need to prime the system by filling the S-curve sections with the fluids you want to sort (see image).
Originally posted in CoI Discord by NEET ENGINEER (instruction image made by same), I've reduced the footprint. The original uses T2 and T3 pipes. I've added a T1/2 version of each. I haven't tested it using all one tier; if it still works, you could use it earlier (T1) or have greater throughput (T3). The flat version can be stacked vertically (and could probably be shortened, but I've left it as originally designed).
This is a blueprint folder labeled "Fluid Sorter." The second image here shows the included blueprints, from left:
- Compact T2
- Compact T3
- Flat T3 (Original POC)
- Flat T2

Paste it into the game: Blueprints → Import from string. The game fetches the blueprint itself, so the link is all you need.
On an older game build that doesn't take links? Copy the blueprint string instead:
This is a very interesting BP and idea. can probably compact it a bit more too by making it vertically too i think.
The T1/T2 compact blueprint seems to be missing a T1 piece on the "Make sure sorter pipe won't be empty" loop like the T2/T3 version, which makes the sorter not take from the main input. Seems to work well once I replaced the last piece with T1.
