**IMPORTANT**: You MUST prime the center cuprium refinery (the one being fed water via the purifier) with at least 2u clean water to get the flow going. Separate the fluid from water bottles in your inventory, otherwise the left-side reactors will bog. The top 2 pipe bridges require 1u/s clean water **each** (not 1u/s for both, either 1 pump each or 2 pumps w/ converger + splitter). 0.5u/s clean water will suffice for the right-side cuprium refinery (1 pump, optionally split). See the 2nd screenshot for a fully working example setup. This factory complex makes use of the purifier's ability to purify inert xircon effluent into xircon effluent and water at a factor of 4 to 1 and also the expanded reactor's ability to perform 3 reactions at once. Feel free to reroute the reactors' water pipes to wherever is more convenient for you. This setup is prone to clogging if your depot runs dry on xiranite/ferrium ore or you're not supplying enough water to the reactors. This is because the production of xircon proper also produces sewage as a byproduct, which it won't do if sewage in the reactor is clogged at 50. Even if you eventually fix your xiranite/ferrium ore/water balancing, you have to drain the sewage from each of the reactors manually for this complex to work normally again. Have some fluid tanks on hand and be ready to do some plumbing in case this happens. If you want something less space and power efficient but requires less maintenance, I have another blueprint that offloads the xircon formula to its own reactor https://talospioneers.com/en/blueprints/01kpp76ahc10490htnd4hzry6x Update: Cleaned up the piping a bit more, reduced pylons and protostashes, deleted the old blueprint

You should be good, I've been running this setup for 2 days but only decided to publish it yesterday b/c I wanted to make sure there were absolutely no issues with it beforehand. There's no way to avoid it being finicky tho, b/c there's no way to shut down the cuprium refineries if the reactors aren't running at full efficiency.

2 converged pumps makes sense. slapping a conduit up there works just as well. Let it run for a while and I don't think it's gonna clog at all.

The 2nd screenshot uses clean water from 2 pumps converged together at the top. If the water's any less than 2u/s, it'll also eventually clog the system as liquid xira can't be produced to consume the sewage. Actually the *one* way it doesn't clog is if cuprium ore is starved, as its the main source of sewage. So yeah, very prone to clogging. Updated description.

Dang, you did it. I was trying to figure out something similar but I had my ferrium all the way on the left and the lanes for the dust kept getting in the way. Dunno why I was too stubborn to move more stuff around. Edit: Feeding all 4 reactors from one source seems like a bad idea. My bottom right one wasn't getting much water and clogged on sewage which backed up into the one above it and clogged there. So I just gave them their own conduit above that control pipe
