A sample setup for an oil refinery

Oil refinery splits crude oil into 3 different fluids: Heavy Oil, Light Oil and Petroleum Gas. These byproducts cannot be packed into steel barrels and must be stored in a Storage Tank or piped to a Chemical plant.

Notes

  • Later on you can research a second recipe that produces less of the relatively useless heavy oil and more of 2 other fluids, in exchange for having to supply water to the refinery.
  • When placing the refinery, it can be rotated, but otherwise neither input nor output tiles can be swapped in any way.

Troubleshooting

When the refinery is working, a flame comes out of the chimney.

  • You need to choose the recipe, otherwise it won't work.
  • It will stop working if any of the products isn't properly drained from it (that is, 10.0 heavy oil at output will prevent production of the 2 other fluids).

History

  • 0.11.6:
    • Now disconnects from pipes when recipe is reset.
  • 0.9.1:
    • Now accepts modules
    • Added cracking recipes
