'''Gates''' are a new feature included in the [[Alpha 0.11.0]] update. They act as a safe opening in [[wall]]s that only the player can use. There are different graphics for normal gates and [[Vehicle/Train|train]] gates; a train gate is one that overlaps a train track. The recipe listed creates a one-tile gate, but multiple adjacent gate items will merge into a single large gate.

== Mechanics ==
Gates only open for entities of the same force. Hostile forces must destroy the gate unless they can trick a defending entity into opening the gate long enough to move through. Gates have the same defensive strength as a wall.

Normal gates will open whenever a player is within a few tiles, and is on foot or in a non-train vehicle. Train gates will open:
* whenever a normal gate would open for players on foot or driving;
* whenever a player is driving a train in manual mode, is on the same track as the gate, and is within a certain distance; and
* whenever a train is in automatic mode, has its planned path go through the gate, and is within a certain distance.

(TODO: Test the exact open radius for trains and for walking, and check whether cars/tanks have their own distance or not.)

Advanced Circuits are used in many high-tech items, as well as the [[Science pack 3]]. Because of this, you'll want to get a good automatic plastic production set up quite early in the game, as you will use a lot of it.

'''Liquids''' are non-solid [[items]]. They behave very differently from solid objects:

* Liquids can only exist inside [[pipe]]s and certain buildings. They cannot be carried by the player, moved with [[inserter]]s, or dropped on the ground.
* Liquids are counted in continuous fractions, rather than discrete integers.
* Liquids may be silently destroyed when removing buildings, by mixing types of liquid, or at the output of a [[steam engine]].

The first type of liquid used by the player is [[water]], which is used for generating electricity with [[steam engine]]s. Later in the game, [[crude oil]] can be extracted and processed into various other liquids.

''Note:'' Properly speaking, this category of item should be called "fluid", as it includes [[petroleum gas]].

== Flow Mechanics ==

The different [[Liquids/Types|types]] of liquid all behave the same. They have the same fluidity, need the same energy to heat and so on.

See [[Liquids/Pipe physics]]

== Using Water to Generate Power ==

You can use every type of liquid, but hot water is the obvious solution.

* [[Liquids/Hot]]
* [[Electricity/Generator]]
* [[Power Production]]

== Oil Processing ==

* [[Liquids/Oil processing]]

== History ==

The only liquid available in Factorio before v0.9 was [[Water]]. See also

In [[Version0.9|v0.9]] the [[Liquids/Oil processing|oil processing]] system was added. This introduced new liquids, including crude oil or petroleum gas.

The category in Factorio that includes "water" and "oil" is best called '''Fluid''', not "liquid". The words "liquid" and "gas" specifically describe types of matter: solid or liquid or gas (or plasma; see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter#The_four_fundamental_states Wikipedia]). "Fluid" is often used to mean "liquid", but technically is not the same type. It is anything that ''flows'', and can be either a liquid or a gas.

I would rename the page, but there are a lot of subpages and language pages that use '''Liquid'''. I don't want to break everything.
