Factorio Fluid Handling Basics

[danielkiran]

Thank you on this guide on pipes, but I needed a guide on fluids.

One more tip. I have cracking set to happen when the supply for the source material is greater than the fluid it's being changed into. That evens out the supply of all your heavy -> light -> petro, and keeps shortages from happening with any of them for long.

Okay. Now how about making a video on fluid handling basics?

Great video, people just expected a different thing. It was useful for me.

So helpful man! Ive had a lot of oil wells with a 10000%+ output and i ended up using it all for flamethrowers because its super effective like almost insta kill behemoths though i would recommend three. I wanted to turn them into heavy oil and it didnt go as well as it is and so i just created a crude oil kill box at the beach and if im gonna reconstruct its probably gonna take very long. Crude oil is less effective than heavy oil plus heavy oil is supposed to be used as flamethrower fuel not a solid fuel thing

Pumps is what confuses me, I have no idea what is the correct way to use them, the fluid mechanics in this game are quite complex and I love it.

Very very very helpful! Thank you so much! I was tired if looking through 30 minute videos for some simple examples and tips. Just want to setup the three oil outputs neatly and undo my spaghetti oil factory lol.

Very helpful! Now I’ve got some new idea to fix my backed-up oil refinery! I’d been wondering why I was only getting Petr. Gas for a while and I just recently learned it was because of a backup!

I’m having issue with getting the oil out of storage. I have storage of 5million oil and I cant get the oil out fast enough for my refineries to use. Any tips?
