Cannot pump fluid into the refinery
I've tried various options including
- Gas Lift
- Liquid Hopper (with and without dispenser installed)
- Immersive Engineering Pump (powered and not powered)
- Immersive Engineering pipes connected to a Pump
I've also tried different fuels and different hights
Any other comments?
Any hints?
Ah the penny drops, so the refinery can only refine oil. I've been using 4 magneticraft refineries to split oil into the nine different products and was seeing if I could refine gasoline, diesel or kerosene into LPG using the pneumaticcraft refinery as well as using thermopneumatic processor
The project page says:
Refining - converting an input fluid to one of more output fluids via heat
Thermopneumatic Processing - converting a fluid and/or item to another fluid via pressure and/or heat
Thanks
Right, by default the Refinery only processes Oil into 2-4 output fluids (Diesel/Kerosene/Gasoline/LPG, depending on the number of blocks in the Refinery multiblock).
The Thermopneumatic Processing Plant is what you need to convert a heavier processed fuel to a lighter one (Diesel->Kerosene, Kerosene->Gasoline, Gasoline->LPG).
Note that both machines have CraftTweaker support, so recipes in your pack could potentially be different. But both machines also have JEI support and that will always tell you which fluids can be converted to which, and how.
Danny's Real Tech pack leaves most if the recipes as the mod author designed them.
Thanks I'd figured the rest out.
One minor tip: any faces of your refinery and thermo-plants that are exposed to air will lose a little heat. It's not so noticeable with the thermo-plant but much more noticeable with the multiblock refinery. Putting any block on exposed faces will stop that leakage and improve your efficiency. Even non-full-cube blocks work like trapdoors, slabs or chisels & bits creations.
