Broken Polymer Press!

[TurrtleBro]

My Polymer press is all set up but it just shoots out oil instead of plastic.
Please help.

interesting, as long as your pumping petrol into it, it should be making plastic.

any mods affecting the building or fluids?

sounds like you are breaking pipes due to phase change. Your petrol is too hot or cold most likely

You're not supposed to feed it oil...

it needs petrol, either refine it, or a neat trick is to use oil as the coolant for metal refinement, let it loop the same oil a few times and it will turn into petro on its own. obviously get some automation sensors up to pull the petro out when it shifts and to activate the oil feed to replace it.

By oil I ment petroleum.

Thanks though I will try that

Add a thin layer of water on the floor where the polymer press is placed. That'll keep it cool enough. Also make sure the pipes, entering the press, are made with high thermal overheat protection with materials like ceramic...Default of 75 degree C is not enough.

all right I will try that
