Construction Foam

  • For the life of me I cannot get the canning machine to give me construction foam. I put in the CF powder, the canning machine is filled with water. I add empty UFcells and go through the modes but nothing activates. No foam is made. Also what is the tank on the left for, the right is filled with water.


    EDIT build #257

    There is a liquid ejector upgrade if i'm not wrong.
    Since you lack liquid transporation (which is very common on tech packs), do it this way :


    You need 3 canning machines, 2 liquid ejector upgrades, CF powder, water cells, CF spray/backpack.
    Ejector upgrades must be set to output to left or right, depending on which way you set it.
    Canning Machine 1 (cell extraction) + ejector + water cell -> Canning machine 2 (liquid enrichment) + CF powder + ejector -> canning machine 3 (cell filling) + CF spray/backpack

    Can't you just have water in the right tank of the second canning machine, put a CF sprayer/pack in the left most slot, and CF powder in the middle slot to fill the sprayer/pack directly instead of making fluid CF? I personally have not tested it, but remember something about it a while back, if it works it would cut down the setup by 1 canning machine and 1 liquid ejector.

    I think not, because the modes are different, and fluid enrichment (process to make CF) uses water on left to make liquid CF on right.

    Derp, I meant to say to have water in the left tank, instead of the right. Then it would fill the sprayer/pack instead of the right tank with CF.

    Thanks this worked great. At first I thought it didn't, but noticed I forgot power on canning machine 2 and 2. Cheers.

    You only need 2. If you put the CF Spray/backpack into the one making the CF fluid it will auto insert it into the sprayer. Although, I think the machines are getting seperated so you will eventually need 2 Fluid Transposers and a Fluid Enricher.
