When to use solid fuel
As of version 0.12.0 solid fuel is used to produce Rocket Fuel, which is used to launch a rocket from the Rocket Silo
Actually hard to say and depends much on the map. Generally if a map is rich of coal but poor on oil it is a bad choice to create solid fuel. With 25MJ solid fuel has more then three times the fuel value of coal, but there is only the need of mining drills to get coal while there has to be build Pumpjacks, Oil refinerys and Chemical plants for creating solid fuel and maybe cracking oil.
Which recipe to use
- Light Oil has actually nearly no use ingame and has the best oil to solid fuel ratio which makes it the best choice.
- Heavy Oil is mainly used for Lubricant which isn't needed in huge amounts, but cause of the bad oil to solid fuel ratio it shouldn't be used direct to create solid fuel. Cracking heavy oil to light oil before processing to solid fuel has a better ratio of 2:1.5 instead of the normal 2:1 of heavy oil.
- Petroleum Gas should not be used to create solid fuel in most cases.
