Trade: Food Pack, Slag, etc

Discussion of the blueprint Trade: Food Pack, Slag, etc.

On the "Slag into Fertilizer II" you've left an assigned truck on the slag container requester, not sure if it's intended.

Bigger or smaller truck? I guess I assigned the bigger one so that the smaller ones could handle other tasks.

At lower loads, the foodpack/sausage factories were getting a bit clogged up with eggs delaying carcass deliveries for sausage production, so I split eggs and carcasses onto two separate belts. For the power plant, I changed the priority on the pipe balancer for water to only prefer cooling towers. Seems to be operating super smoothly after those two minor tweaks.

@3dsmax Were there any problems with the power plant’s operation?

@3dsmax Is the seawater supply sufficient, and the brine discharge — there aren’t any issues with that, are there?

None that I can find :( I'm going to ramp up consumption soon by adding more arc 2's, and will monitor how it performs under higher loads. Maybe it's just an artifact of being underloaded at the moment. Either way, your ideas, and especially the concept of looking for "added value" have been very transformative for me and how i play the game.

Ah, I think I’ve got it now. Restore it to how it was: set the priority for water supply from the CT and TD, and leave the supply from the water storage without any priority. Otherwise, you’re blocking the water output from the DT or CT, and that’s what happens on your side if even one of them is set equal to the supply from the storage. They should have a higher priority so that the system doesn’t get blocked. Water from the storage only makes up for water shortages and cannot serve as an equal water supplier. There was supposed to be a single shared pipe for the CT and TD, but since no pipe has a throughput above 900, there are two pipes — not because one of them needs to be set to a higher priority.

You are welcome! I started the power plant again today in a new game — I had no problems at all.

@3dsmax I tested the power plant under a significantly underloaded condition. In this mode, the station starts generating more water than it consumes, so you just need to switch the storage to export water. And here, you need to keep an eye on it to switch back to import when the load increases.

Is the Dirt into Gold BP missing?
