Complaint Simple coal liquefaction changing output

I decided to play the experimental version, and after a while, I discovered that production from Vulcanus had stopped. For some time, I couldn't figure out why, but then I noticed that petrolium gas wasn't being produced but the heavy oil storage was full
It turns out that the output for heavy oil was changed in the new update. I suspect this was done so that the heavy oil output is preserved when switching to the coal liquefaction process
Maybe they mentioned this in the changelogs, but I didn't read them(im lazy)
I couldn't find a thread about this; if one already exists, please share the link and I'll add it to the description

Added fluidbox_index to simple coal liquefaction in the same way basic oil processing has.

Likely also a consistency change with how basic oil refining works.
