Factorio LUBRICANT Monitor

Anyone can build a screen, but it takes a man to use some lube. Like the train display, this one requires a bit of imagination. It uses a similar principle, where each tank of lube represents a segment of a display. The lube from the tanks on the left are pumped into the center tanks depending on the circuit condition, and then dumped into the tanks on the right, so they can be recycled into new numbers. This didn’t work on the first attempt, or the second one. In this third attempt, it at least looks like a numeric display from the map, but I was unable to completely remove all fluids from the tanks. This is a good thing, because in my hubris I considered making a full 8 color monitor using the different colored fluids to represent pixels. The contraption would have filled tanks with a color dependent on the circuit condition, and I could represent full color images with this method. If I hadn’t had all those past failures, I would probably still be trying to get this to work.
