Compressed air gives 5 nitrogen and 5 oxygen but you only need 4 nitrogen and 6 oxygen to receive the 20 compressed air which can be converted back to 10 nitrogen and 10 oxygen....

Which mod add the nitrogen to compressed air recipe?

Did you end up writting it? I'm still waiting for being able to ramp up my plastic and battery production.

Refining --0.6.12
-updated icons to match new plates in smelting
-increased output of manganese and chrome
-disabled sand recipe (no use as of yet)
-enabled productivity for all recipes in ore-sorting-facilities and crystallizers

what's new with Petrotrain? There is an update but no change log.

Just some internal stuff I have changed, so the recipes for the petro locos will pop up in the angels logistic tab if you use the logistic mod

CTSCommando wrote:There appears to be a problem with the last few versions of Angel's Refining. While it doesn't list Bob's Logistics as a requirement, the "washing-plant" and "washing-plant-2" recipies require "steel-pipe", which is only available in Bob's Logistics.

We were playing a game without Bob's Logistics and updated Angel's Refining to the latest version, and it immediately errored and prevented us from loading Factorio. After some messing around we reinstalled an older version of Angel's Refining (0.6.7 or 0.6.8 I believe) and the problem disappeared.

Please could you take a look? Ideally we don't want to run to have to run Bob's Logistics if it can be avoided. If it can't be avoided then it should probably be listed as a required mod to prevent Factorio from crashing when it's not installed.

The need for limestone is definitely intentional, and it's related to real smelting. Limestone is used as a flux, which is a substance that helps to remove impurities in the smelting process. I'm not sure how you obtain it in the new versions of Angel's mods (I suspect using the seafloor pump), but it's definitely supposed to be used in smelting.

Hell, I can't really find any use for liquid fuel.
You can still turn fuel oil to solid fuel or gas, but liquid fuel seems like a dead end

Liquid fuel 'barreled' in a empty canister. Its on the bob's fluids tab.

And the Liquid fuel canister has a burning value of 150MJ, so its a nice the best (and always has been) burning source, much better then converting it into solid fuel, even with the plastic requiring

I might have removed the liquid fuel recipe unintentionally when I disabled bobs barreling tech. ups.

It's still there.

I just don't think it was common knowledge. As far as people know, the barreling and plastic canisters were just for transport, so it never occurs to you that you could burn a plastic container full of liquid fuel. Same as those who found out that you could burn small electric poles and wooden boxes after 700 hours of gameplay. It never occurred to them that it's still made of wood and thus can be burned.

It's just weird to have a plastic container being burned with the fuel still inside of it. However this just shows that one needs to keep an eye on fuel values when new items are added, as it may come with a surprise such as this.

eloquentJane wrote:I have an idea. Maybe a solution to the liquid fuel canister problem (wherein you have to burn the plastic canisters) would be to instead add a new type of mid-game steam boiler that uses liquids as fuel instead of solids. That way you could burn liquid fuel directly - or maybe there could even be some added processes to increase the fuel value of liquid fuel, if it would make sense to do so.
