Your Expectation

Forming a Steam Blender multiblock with just input and output bus and no liquid hatches of any kind.

The Reality

Steam Blender multiblock did not form until adding both input and output liquid hatches.

Your Proposal

Either allow Steam Blender to form without input and output liquid hatches, due to the questbook saying that it both doesn't require it (item list does not list the hatches) and also due to it not being able to process liquids, or allow the Steam Blender to process liquids through the liquid hatches.

technically a repeat of #17287 no?

Not really, because its about the tier 1 not forming unless it has input and output hatches, which are completely useless on the multi because the multi can't use them

In that ticket the problem was with forming in earlier nightlies, when steam multis still "could" do MV recipes with tier 2 upgrade. After their logic was reworked to only allow LV recipes, Steam Blender started forming. Meanwhile quest says that it doesn't support fluid crafting at all, and doesn't ask you for fluid hatches
