@CrimsonDemon this game xD. I mean i don't include valves in blueprint because they break blueprint. But for you they saving it. Very strange flow bug mb, i don't know.

@AwakenedExile I believe I have fixed it, adding valves to limit the water input to exactly 160 helped. Apparently, even when water extractors are set to produce 160 (or 159.9999) water per minute, they will still cause greater flow rates, which is annoying. The valves solved that problem, and the sinking of any excess solids handled the rest. Thank you for this blueprint, in the end, it saved me a lot of headache.

@CrimsonDemon once again. This is "Perfect System". Every system like this If 1 element go off everything will stop ( because of water in this case ). 1) U need 400 bauxite and 240 coal per min and non less. 2) If you dont consume all ingots in 100% ratio your constucters will stop. Then will stop refineries, then will stop all blueprint. Always sink exceeding production in Awesome Sink. This is possible thanks to programmable splitters. Will edit blueprint about this. Outside of that is only famous 1200 belts bug but i think its not your case.

Hello, I have been trying to use your blueprint, but it keeps stopping randomly, and I'm not too sure why. I have tried only supplying it with 159.9999 water, I have filled the refineries with water before other ores, and at this point, I'm not sure what else to do. Do you have any advice on what I might be missing?

@Ohmec you don't need to balance it, just use 1 water pump to 133,3333 or 133,3332 percent ( 160 ), fill the refineries and then use bauxite and coal.

@Philomorph oh ye, you need exactly 160, i will edit in blueprint that 160 is Mandatory. Actually industrial buffers can be dangerous someties and do opposite effect that you think, but if it works fine for you let it be

Having a real hard time trying to balance the water. Keeps getting clogged.

@AwakenedExile Thanks for the info! This might have been it - when I first hooked it all up I had two pumps running at 100%, providing more water than needed. I shortly went and adjusted them to match the needed input, but it was probably too late.

After restarting it, it seemed ok for a while, but to be safe I stuck an industrial buffer in-line to handle any sloshing around of levels. It's running great for now but if it stops again I'll adjust the pumps down a tiny fraction as you recommend.

159.9999 is water and 133,3332 is percent of water pump efficency*

@Philomorph i think i need to see how your water connected outside of blueprint. "Bounce" is about blueprint working incorrectly, your cituation is like you have too much water from water pump so your second refineries stoped work due to full water in them and pipes. In theory if you have 161 water coming from pump system will stop after some time because aluminum refineries will stop work due to full water in it. I see some comments about incorrect period numbers like 133,3333334 ( in this case it is 160 water per min ) so maybe 159.9999 will right it down to 133,3332 ( but it still shows 160 ). All my 5 blueprints work fine but i will do this 159.9999 on 1 of them and maybe this will help you. Pm me if your situation will happen again ( beacuse it can happen again if it happened once )

Thanks for the blueprint! It seems to work great, but after about 30 minutes I went back to check on it and everything had stopped. I couldn't tell why, because everything was full... all machines just stopped. I picked a random small water pipe segment on the back and flushed it, and everything started up again. I didn't have time to wait around and see if it kept running for more than a few minutes, but I thought I'd ask if there's anything I need to do other than hook up all the inputs. I had the water hooked up before the aluminum so I think I primed it right, but I assume by "bounce" you meant it would just run off and on again until things balanced. But it was completely stopped with all pipes and machines full.
