Thermal Water Extractor Problems

Post by Silverhalf »

Hello,
I've been trying to use thermal water to make mineral catalysts. However I've noticed some strange behaviour from my Thermal Extractors, which I can't find any information about online. Basically when I put one on a fissure, the tooltip gives me an 'expected resources' value in thermal water/s, which is ususally between 10k and 40k. However, when I connect an extractor up to a tank or a pump, I only get up to 100 water/s. Is this intended? It would suck pretty bad as the only real alternative I see to mass producing catalysts is electrolysing water for slag, which is really slow...

The extractor has a limitation on the amount of fluid it can hold in it's output buffer, so yes, 100/s is the cap. The issue is more or less the fissures that are way to rich, but this way they work at the 100% mark for way longer than let's say crude oil. I might bump this to something a bit higher in the future maybe.
