Better Oil Production

by Flerkus

Why settle for one pumpjack your entire run? Upgrade your oil fields with faster Mk2 and Mk3 pumpjacks, or keep them alive indefinitely with the low-depletion eco variant. Playing Space Age? Mine hydrocarbons from carbonic asteroids, synthesise them into synthetic crude on your platform, and ship it home to be refined — a full off-world oil supply chain for when the ground runs dry.

g Feature request: Synthetic coal

Any chance of an option to process hydrocarbons into synthetic coal? That would let us make plastics in space, which would be a huge help.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm keeping this one out of scope though. The mod's focused on oil production, and a coal/plastic route pulls it into solid-carbon manufactoring.
You already get the hard half: petroleum gas in orbit via the synthetic crude recipes. For the coal side, importing coal or a dedicated carbon mod is the way to go. Appreciate the idea!
