I installed a bunch of mod, and one of them change the recipice for the chemical plant, which make it require glass that you can make from sand, the issue is that Arig do not provide the correct sand (the irony LOL), sand that i would be able to make with water, water that i can not get without a chemical plant.
I was able to fix the issue by giving myself a chemical plant (in command line), this disables achievements (not a big deal).
I don't even know if this need to be fixed, the easy fix would be to make the player able to press the cactus with his bare hand, that way he could plant the cactus and harvest water without needing the plastic bar to craft the press, a sane player would anyway use the press for the productivity bonus so that would not change the balance of the mod IMO.
