BETTER FLUID THROUGHPUT

Compress all fluids by a factor of 10 to ease fluid handling, solve pipe throughput issues, and improve UPS.

> This mod does not affect the game balance, it's just a quality of life feature to help the game engine better handle fluid throughput, > removes the need of using thousands of pipes/pumps to ensure correct flows, reducing number of entities/fluid boxes and improve UPS.

Features

• can customize the compression factor from mod setting (range 1 - 1'000, *default: 10*)
• can choose to compress storage tanks and fluid wagons capacity by the same factor (*default: OFF*)

---

What this mod does:

The game balance remain unchanged, while improving fluid throughput and handling:

• pipes/pumps/storages remain unchanged
• all fluids are compressed by a factor of 10, meaning:
• recipes' fluids input/output are 1/10
• machines consume/produce 1/10 of fluids
• fluids yield 10x fuel value and heat capacity (to balance the x10 compression)
• 100 fluid/s is equivalent to 1'000 fluid/s, meaning 1 pipe can now handle the throughput of 10

Compatibility

Should be compatible with every mod, unless strange modifications at the latter stage of prototypes definition.

Ad hoc compatibility with:

• Space Exploration --> excluding rocket/spaceship special fuels and tanks to maintain balance
• Pressurized Fluids --> handle migration to replace *Pressurized Fluids* in favor of *Better Fluid Throughput*
