Fluid recycler

PBy Powerscooter

This liquid recycler is the counterpart to Fulgoras solid recycler. Gives out 25% of fluid ingredients by squeezing the item really hard. Has a balanced mode with curated recipes and an unbalanced mode to go ham.

Description

Discord

Fluid recycler ==========

Stranded on an abandoned island with nothing but batteries, the engineers ask themselves how they could possibly get the sulfuric acid needed to finish their rocket. One of them has an epiphany; they take batteries and start squeezing.

Content


Adds a fluid recycler as equivalent to Fulgoras solid recycler. Items with fluid ingredients can be recycler back into their fluid ingredients at 25% efficiency.

Features


This mod creates a fluid recycling recipe for every item that can be crafted with fluid and adds it to the fluid recycler. Just like the regular recylcer, the fluid recycler automatically picks a recipe when any item is inserted. Items that can't be recycled into fluids are never inserted.

The fluid recycler can be unlocked on Fulgora.

Fun recipes include things like squeezing water out of explosives, squeezing acid out of processing units and batteries, squeezing ammonia out of ice platform as well as many more dynamically generated recipes!

Balance


Mod features a balanced and an unbalanced mode. By default, it is set to balanced

In balanced mode, you'll have access to a handful of vanilla squeezing recipes as well as curated mod compat recipes that do not break the base game or any mods.

In unbalanced mode: squeeze pipes back into molten iron, squeeze items back into their modded input fluids, transmute materials by using the latest recipes. Great fun but not very balanced.

Additional custom recipes


  • A bulk recipe to squeeze ice into water.
  • Three quick but wasteful asteroid recipes intended for mid to lategame inner planet ships:
  • Squeeze oxide asteroid chunks directly into water.
  • Squeeze crude oil out of carbonic asteroid chunks.
  • Squeeze liquid iron out of metallic asteroid chunks.

Mod compat


Several balance patches, made in cooperation with other mod authors:

Can squeeze coconuts on Pelagos to get more coconut oil but forgo the other contents.

Squeeze sand into stone when playing with Moshine, Maraxsis, Crushing Industry or any other mod that adds sand.

Squeeze anorthite asteroids into molten aluminum with Muluna in a fast but wasteful process.

Squeeze cupric asteroids directly into molten copper in a fast but wasteful process.

Squeeze the gold out of auric asteroid chunks with Secretas and Frozeta, Lignumis or Metal and Stars!

Can be made in Outer Rims manufactory.

Plasma industries bulk recipes are excluded so as not to give the player plasma from recycling items made in bulk recipes.

More mod compat coming!

API


Other mods can add their recipes to the fluid recycler in two different ways:

  • Give your recipe the category or additonal_categories "fluid-recycling" (will show up as recycling recipe) or "pneumatic-pressing".
  • Set a recipe with fluid input to auto_liquid_recycling = true, this can be done without checking if fluid recycler is enabled. Your recycling recipe will be automatically generated and named. This needs to be done before data-final-fixes.
