g Intended sulfur production before other planets?

(updated 27 days ago)

Hello again! Thoroughly enjoying Scrappy Chemistry along with your other mods.

That said, I've noticed that sulfur, and subsequently sulfuric acid are chronically in short supply for me, to the extent that I have a few flare stacks from the flare stack mod to void some fluids so that things keep processing. I believe I am using almost all of the available recipes to me at the moment (about to start Space Science), to which it is working, but only a trickle of sulfur is being produced.

I can certainly foresee myself overflowing with sulfur at some point later in this run, but at least at the moment compared to previous "vanilla/SA -like" runs I've done, any lack of sulfur at this stage was simply tied to a lack of oil pumps/oil processing (both of which I have in good supply).

I guess what I am wondering, or curious about, is what the intended approach for getting sulfur is supposed to be? Not necessarily advocating for any changes, as I could simply be missing something.

Once again, thoroughly enjoying your collection of mods - keep up the good work!

edit:
- Currently using version 0.5.1

Hi Eckelmonster! Apologies for the delayed response, life is happening and I was also busy with a modding jam. I'm considering adding a recipe for filtering sour gas from petroleum gas, since petroleum gas is a relatively dead-end fluid (especially with basic oil processing). Before then, I'll try rebalancing recipes to make sulfur deficits a less common problem.

A balance patch has been released with 0.5.2. Note that butane pollution was modified to yield butane instead of sour gas, but sour gas has been added to butane cracking since it was missing, and basic oil processing was modified to yield more butane and sour gas than petroleum gas, for more potential for cracking to get sour gas. Also butane pollution was buffed significantly to yield 2x the light oil
