Cloud Crafting


Machines with special module can now pull ingredients and gather outputs directly from / into special cloud chests. Should not work with quality. NOT FOR HUGE FACTORIES!

Hi! Thanks for the great mod, this is what I've been looking for for a long time! Would you be happy if you had the opportunity to work with liquids to finally get rid of conveyors? Otherwise, I really like this Mod and I think it's awesome! I'm waiting for more cool mods from you and I ask you not to abandon your own.

Hello,

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad that you enjoying the gameplay!

I already tickled fluids mechanics and even managed to create "Cloud Tank" but it worked not as smooth as I expected. Somehow LUA code does not recognize how much fluid is already in a machine and keeps putting new portions with a great overhead again and again which leads to simply draining entire tank in seconds even if no fluid technically consumed for craft. I spend couple evenings on this problem but didn't solve it unfortunately.

As a suggestion/workaround, don't forget barrels exist. Almost every fluid in Factorio could be placed into barrel. Mod allows you to have cloud machines that do barreling/unbarreling recipe effectively closing the loop of wireless fluid transportation with minimal belts/pipes

It's a good idea!
