Overview
Adds a recipe for turning coal ore and water into crude oil. Unlocked as part of basic oil processing.
- This recipe's purpose is to allow for gameplay without natural oil well spawns, both intentional as "defined in world generation settings" and unlucky as defined by "2 hours driving around CAN'T FIND OIL ANYWHERE"
- Not eligible for productivity bonuses.
Adds a recipe for turning coal ore, steam and some crude oil into heavy oil. Unlocked alongside advanced oil processing. If Space Age is enabled then this recipe will not be added - the basic coal liquefaction tech from Vulcanus accomplishes what this recipe would otherwise provide.
- This recipe's purpose is to provide a low-throughput option for making lubricant. Aims to balance the convenience of avoiding oil byproducts by having a more complex setup.
- Less efficient for petroleum products than coal->oil->advanced oil processing
Adds a second Coal Liquefaction recipe which is intended for later-game oil product builds.
- This recipe is intended to replace the earlier-unlocked coal-to-oil process while adding a step of complexity. Takes coal, steam and petroleum gas as inputs, and outputs crude oil, heavy oil and light oil.
- Overall I felt this recipe led to some interesting designs and allowed for switching to a more efficient oil processing design after reaching purple science.
Other Information
Can can be added to a game in-progress.
Can be used alongside vanilla coal liquefaction.
Can be used with oil wells normally - only adds content, nothing is removed.
