Fluids - How to setup Dirty Water processing (v3.0.0-beta.6 and newer)

There are some additional setups required if you are playing on Energized Power version 3.0.0-beta.5 and older (See: Fluids - How to setup Dirty Water processing)

Required tools and material

Tools

  • Wrench

Build Materials

  • Drain (White block with 9 "holes", not to be confused with the Fluid Drainer)

  • A Water consuming machine which also produces Dirty Water:
    • Advanced Pulverizer or
    • Advanced Crusher
  • Filtration Plant
  • Some Cables which
  • Any power source (e.g. Solar Panel)

  • Some Fluid Pipes (Iron, Gold)

  • 2 Water Buckets
  • 2 Charcoal Filters

  • Some solid building blocks (e.g. Cobble Stone)

Building instructions (step by step)

1. Preparing the water source

Create an infinite Water source (2x2 water blocks). Dump the first Water Bucket in the top left corner and the second one in the bottom right corner. Place a Drain (White block with 9 "holes", not to be confused with the Fluid Drainer) below any of the four water source blocks (It will immediately start to extract Water). Afterwards you should place Fluid Pipes which are connected to the Drain and configure the first pipe to the Extraction mode. This can be done with a Wrench by selecting a block face with the left mouse button and by changing the pipe mode with the right mouse button.image.png

2. Inserting some Water into a machine

Place the Water consuming machine next to a Fluid Pipe and connect a power source. You need to fill up the internal water tank. Afterwards you should disconnect the Fluid Pipe, because Water will be converted to Dirty Water as a by-product.

3. Processing items in the machine

Now you should keep processing items until the Dirty Water tank has at least 200 mB Dirty Water.

4. Extracting and processing Dirty Water

Now you can place a Fluid Pipe in extraction mode next to the block - not on the same side as the other pipe - and pump the Dirty Water into a Filtration Plant. The Filtration Plant can convert Dirty Water back to normal Water (The Filtration Plant requires Charcoal Filters to do so and a recipe must be selected).

5. Closing the fluid loop

Now you can connect the Filtration Plant to the Water consuming machine. The system is now a closed loop - the infinite Water source is no longer required.
