Fluids should be exempt from Logistic Science. In my first game with this mod, logistic science requires steam, which means it cannot be handcrafted. It must be made in a tier 2 or 3 assembler, which are researched with the uncraftable logistic science.

Enjoying this concept though! The seed I picked has brought some crazy combinations. ^^

Thank you very much for trying this and reporting your initial discovery. The latest version 0.0.4 and beyond will allow steam and water to be crafted in assembling machine 1 buildings, both of them are in the pool for ingredients requiring red but still not requiring green science, for variety in liquids instead of them all being at the military+ stages.

Additionally, 0.0.3 -> 0.0.4 is not intended to affect seeds so this particular update may be safe on saves, not tested.

I hadn't considered that the Assem1's could just be changed to use fluids, but that worked great, thanks!
