Nuka-Cola isn't only a found item. The mod lets you produce it with Create machinery and move it around as a liquid.
Planning the Line
Nuka-Cola is made through mechanical mixing and spouting. A typical layout runs in three stages:
1. Mixing stage: Your mixing setup combines the ingredients. The FACTS here don't list the exact recipe, so look it up in your recipe viewer before you build.
2. Storage stage: Mechanical pipes carry the finished Nuka-Cola liquid into fluid tanks. A tank buffer keeps the bottling end running when the mixer is busy or short on ingredients.
3. Spouting stage: Pipe the liquid from the tank to your spouting station, where the drink gets bottled.
Build Tips
- Build in stages. Get the mixer working first, then confirm the liquid is flowing into the tank before you connect the spout. Problems are much easier to track down one stage at a time.
- Keep pipe runs short and direct between the tank and the spout.
- Collect your empties. Nuka-Cola bottles return to your inventory after drinking. Check your recipe viewer to see what the spout fills, and keep a chest of returned bottles next to the line in case they can go back into production.
- Copy the line for Quantum Cola. Quantum Cola is also produced through mixing and spouting. Once one drink line works, the same layout pattern applies, though you should check the recipe viewer for its ingredients.
