I'm guessing the centrifuge doesn't allow for two outputs? I suppose alternative would be to just have a centrifuge produce water instead of extract as alternative recipe.

The idea was implemented this mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3459544570 . Pretty sure the recipe was in the Centrifuge at first but due to a tech limitation I moved it to the Dirt Excavator.

Imo would make more sense for the Centrifuge to output water along with extract, because well a centrifuge normally separates a liquid so why that only outputs extract doesn't make a lot of sense. Maybe could make that into a mod, adding a recipe for the centrifuge to output 2 water and 1 extract and require twice the power or something. Just an idea.

v7.0.2: added missing TimberUi requirement.

Thanks for reporting. I did add it to Steam but forgot about it in the mod manifest.

You have an exception when harmony and timberUI is not loaded before this mod, but it only shows that harmony is required

Hi there, for the toxic waste issue:
usually "in real life" you end up with
a) higher concentrated toxic fluids
and
b) for example toxic saturated coal or absorber material,
that can be burned to chemically destroy the stuff at high temp.

So to not allow duping water and make it more effort you could integrate
a fixed tank at the pump for waste water in a 1 to 10 ratio (again bad water)
that needs to be manually emptied.
And add a process of burning wood to coal (charcoal maker)
=>ending with toxic coal that can be burned but isnt as good as pure charcoal
(Meaning 4x waste coal over clean coal for example)

Or combine paper+coal to filter material that needs to be burned inefficiently.

This might allow to collect a lot of waste at the start of the game where it doesnt matter,
but that needs to be (and can be) handled late game.
- Or dump it into hollowed out mountains human style ;-)

I'm not sure what could work as a good filter medium, but I know paper should be involved in that. Or perhaps a fabric made out of various plants. The disposal method would be a pain though, finding a way to dispose of such stuff.

One idea is basically to move the toxicity down river, so you move the old filters down to a storage building that must be submerged for it to contaminate the water again and over time remove the filters from its storage through their own natural decay from being hit by a flowing river. (Possibly decay faster by water speed).

Some additional thoughts.

I did think about that but it was too complicated to implement by modifying the existing Pump. Maybe later when I can make a separate pump instead. Thanks for the great suggestion!
Vas 25 May @ 1:33pm 
I had a thought for this. What if you made an alternate Mechanical Pump that required a supply of paper or some other material to purify bad water? Perhaps also just use this one but also add a requirement of paper to be supplied to it to enable the filter. With no paper, it should have an option to stop pumping water till paper is restored only if water toxicity is above a certain percentage. (Same for power usage, increase power usage only when bad water is above a certain value)

Also, a balancing option, don't turn bad water into good water at a 1:1 rate. If its 100% bad water for example, it should only give you 30% clean water back, and burn through your filters very quickly, leaving behind some kind of old filter that needs to be disposed of in some way. I'm not quite sure yet on that end. :P

I just checked it with this mod and dependencies only, as well as with a few mods I usually use and I cannot get it to crash. Could you please send the Crash log (Player.log file) in the Discussion or on Discord please? Thanks.

When I try to lad the game with this particular mod enabled, it comes up with that I'm playing with a mod installed which crashes the game, and refuses to cooperate. Had to get rid of it just to get as far as the game menu.

You can select experimental branch in the settings and play now!

I m not sure, how to play with U7, it says Update 7 will come online on 8 May 2025, so I am so confused that how do you guys could play with U7:steammocking:
Luke ✞ Jesus Saves ✞  [author] 21 Apr @ 7:56pm 
Are you playing with U7 and did you enable the mod?
Kissme Aki Cui 21 Apr @ 8:53am 
Why the filter option does not show up?:steambored:
Luke ✞ Jesus Saves ✞  [author] 20 Apr @ 9:42pm 
Oh that's true that the power code of this one and the pump config probably won't work together. You can try changing the order of this mod and that mod and see what happens but I suppose they won't work nicely together. Only the power part right?

Hi, i just found that the part off power adjustment from pump configuration ist working anymore
Luke ✞ Jesus Saves ✞  [author] 14 Apr @ 6:42pm 
Harmony hasn't been updated for a long time. If you have an issue with it, likely because you used Update 5 BepExIn which is no longer used and is not compatible with Harmony. You need to go to the game folder and remove that folder and the winhttp.dll file (or just Verify Game files)

Do anyone know why Harmony is keep breaking for me??
VforVandetta 13 Apr @ 6:19am 
this would be good when i play majority bad water source maps maybe i will cheat and unlock the start anywhere thing and place myself near badwater (far from clean water) and unlock it with cheats and place one and possibly block the water supply so it will be either 1400hp or die of thirst kind of like hardcore play could be done with this
Luke ✞ Jesus Saves ✞  [author] 13 Apr @ 12:02am 
Yeah I thought about that but if I triple the power usage I think nobody will use it so I don't know, you decide what to do with your game :P This does cost you 700HP only to get fresh water (you still have to pump it yourself)
nhwhiting 12 Apr @ 5:34pm 
For IT, this feels a lot like cheating. Badwater discharge + one of these = infinite water. :D
