Well, according to the source code, bzchlorine2 should replace 1 copper plate with 1 salt, and Nylon2 should then replace that salt with 5 ethylene glycol. The recipe for ethylene glycol is unlocked by the thermal radiator tech, as intended, but the thermofluid recipe isn’t changed by either of the mods.
I initially found it strange that ethylene glycol seemingly had 0 uses, but it was unlocked by thermofluid tech. I figured it was something unfinished, but I checked the source code just to be sure, and found that there was supposed to be a use for it after all. And that’s how I found out bzchlorine2 was even supposed to make its own change, as it never would have crossed my mind otherwise.
Bzchlorine2 is also supposed to add salt to the cryonite thermofluid recipe, and that change also isn’t visible in game. The conditions for these recipe updates seem to all be met (SE and K2 are installed).
