Pre-1.0 I had aluminum factories that took the waste water from aluminum scrap and fed it back to the alumina solution refineries. However, in my new 1.0 world I can't seem to get it to flow correctly.

I've tried several solutions, including:

  • putting the waste water lower in the junction than the fresh water
  • adding a valve to the waste water to prevent backflow
  • adding a valve to the waste water to only supply the amount not provided by the fresh water

The only think I have not done yet is decrease the water extractor rates, mostly because I don't recall having to do that before when I used a valve.

Any tips? Anyone else had success in 1.0

I have seen someone use the waste water for wet cement and sink that.

Oh, my suggestion is just to have some of your aluminum factories use waste water exclusively... then it's impossible to have a backup.

This is what I do, maybe not optimized to the best but if you looked at my factories they are not optimized but they will never clog because of by products.

I tried using the waste yellow stuff (I'm not at a computer lol) from making uranium cells to process the nuclear by product but it kept getting clogged and I ended up setting up a package and sinking it for full reliability.

This was all my first blind playthrough. I learned a lot but there is something to be said for reliability
