Thank you for the pack. Been a blast so far.

It appears that steel and regular iron pipes are connecting to each other. Is this a glitch or something I may have goofed up on my setup?

It also looks like there is no recipe for Sulfur Dioxide that is usable on platforms. Is that something I should ask the original mod authors about? Alternatively, is it hard to add a recipe with the Muluna vacuum boiler to offer similar crafting in space?

Hey calliousshapes, glad you’re enjoying the mod pack! :-)

I'll look into this now.

Latest AzzTweaks 1.26.0 Fixes the iron and steel pipes connecting issue. Underground pipes can be connected to each other as intended by Krastorio 2 Spaced Out.

What is the Sulfur Dioxide issue your facing? Are you wanting to craft it in space?

There does not appear to be a recipe for Sulfur Dioxide usable on space platforms. The Shchierbin sulfur vanadium oxide recipe looks like the route to take for the volume production of sulfuric acid and rockets on platform. Other than Sulfur Dioxide, it takes a fair amount of165 degree C temperature steam which rules out the use of reactor steam. Is the intention to not use this recipe in space, or make it harder to balance out the reduction in water usage?

Also, it appears the Advanced Chemical Plant's productivity bonus allows for duplication of the vanadium oxide catalyst which feels weird.

Looking into the Shchierbin mod files, it explicitly sets the pressure surface condition on the recipes:

surface_conditions = {{
        property = "pressure",
        min = 10,
}}

This means the pressure requirement appears to be intentional. This is somrthing you could ask the mod author about if you wish.

In the meantime, I'm looking into implementing an AzzTweak for this now :-)

Latest AzzTweaks 1.27.1 now adds a way to craft Sulfur Dioxide in the Muluna vacuum boiler, so you should be able to produce it on space platforms now. See if you are still expericing the vanadium oxide Advanced chemical plant duplication.

Thanks, greatly appreciated. Looks like it is no longer duplicating the catalyst. For the 165 degree steam requirement on the sulfur vanadium oxide recipe - that still rules out reactor heated steam as a source. What do you think about a rapid dry ice sublimation to reduce 425 or higher temperature steam to the 165 degree requirement resulting in both reduced temperature steam and a boat load of hot C02?

That’s an interesting idea! Using dry ice from Corrundum to cool hot steam down to the 165°C requirement seems logical to me.

Out of curiosity, is there a specific reason you suggested 425°C or higher as the input temperature?

The KS2 Fusion powerplant recipe that works on platforms outputs 1000°C steam.

Okay so would the recipe require?

>=425°C steam

or

=1000°C steam

?

Wasn't sure if you had chosen >425°C steam for a specific purpose.

My apologies - 425 was a typo. I was thinking of the normal 415 degree output of the reactor heat exchanger. I suggest >= 415 to accommodate the different higher temperature steam sources.

Latest AzzTweaks 1.29.0 adds the recipe.

Thanks for the suggestion! :-)

The recipe is returning more CO2 that is used in the dry ice (2:1 ratio of CO2 to dry ice in the catalyst plant). I suggest modifying the recipe from 1 dry ice and 120 CO2 to 10 dry ice and 20 CO2.

Thanks for the help!
