"- reduced heavy oil input from coal liquifaction to help with balance."
You actually reduced the output not the input. Currently the Coal Liquefaction takes 25 Heavy-Oil and produces 10 Heavy-Oil.
I think bobmods.lib.recipe.set_result("coal-liquefaction", {"heavy-oil", 10})
is wrong, you wanted to set the ingredient, not the result. Currently my complete oil-production broke.
