Love playing the mod so far but I am currently slowed down heavily with oil production.

Calcite costs are too high and I thought it would be improved with researching Advanced Oil Processing so waited a long time for a single Chemical Plant to create enough plastic only to discover there's no Light or Heavy Oil cracking so no way of increasing the amount of Petroleum Gas and no use for either by- products without further research, which wouldn't be enough to consume all the excess oil anyway and would lock the system.

Currently averaging about 80 Oxide asteroids per minute but not enough Ice or Calcite to push further in either Space or Blue Science. Without oil cracking you can't really advance further without excessive wait times so might have to put my game on hold until this can be implemented for my own sanity.

same here, it just becomes an idle game

I added oil cracking in the latest update

Version: 1.0.14
Date: 11. 15. 2025
Features:
- Added "oil-reprocessing" technology.
- Added "light-oil-cracking" recipe.
- Added "heavy-oil-cracking" recipe.
- Added "oxide-asteroid-reprocessing" technology.
- Added "small-oxide-asteroid-crushing" item, recipe.
- Added "medium-oxide-asteroid-crushing" item, recipe.
- Added "big-oxide-asteroid-crushing" item, recipe.
- Added "huge-oxide-asteroid-crushing" item, recipe.
Changes:
- Changed "surface_conditions" of "oil-refinery", "chemical-plant", "lab", "steel-furnace", "electric-furnace" to lock building on space platform.
- Changed main menu simulations to only use the Space Age space platform simulations.
- Changed "carbonic-asteroid-chunk" to be burnable as chemical fuel with the value of 10 carbon.
