Smokeless Powder Trouble
Getting smokeless powder can be a real pain when you’re stuck with oil residue. But don’t worry, we’ve got some answers for you.
So, it seems that people are getting stuck on this particular step in the Manufacturing and Assembly Mechanics (MAM) node. I mean, who hasn’t been there? You think you’re doing everything right, but instead of those coveted little vials, all you’re left with is heavy oil residue packaged into large containers.
The problem lies in setting up your refinery correctly. It’s easy to get caught up in the process and miss a crucial step or two. That was my mistake when I first started trying to make smokeless powder. And trust me, it’s frustrating.
So here’s what you need to do:
First off, you’ll need to make some black powder using an assembler. This is where most people go wrong – they forget to actually set up the output correctly. Make sure you’re producing black powder and not compacted coal or sulfur.
Once that’s done, hook up your black powder output to a refinery set to produce smokeless powder. It’s also important to connect this pipe to some heavy oil residue. Yes, you read that right – you need two refineries for this step. I know, it’s confusing, but just go with it.
Now, the final bit of advice: don’t forget about any solid by-product (plastic/rubber/polymer resin) that comes from making that heavy oil residue. You’ll need to get rid of it, whether you send it down the sink or find some other creative solution.
And there you have it – smokeless powder without all the hassle and confusion. I mean, who doesn’t love a good challenge?
