I did think of some of these ideas also. For me, i want rocket fuel stuff to be Glebas thing. (LDS is vulcanus’ thing, Blue chips is fulgora). So i kind of stayed away from solid fuel being that its the step underneath rocket fuel. Might think about it again.
As for coal liquefaction, just seems super industrial for a biochamber vibe. I also worry the poor refineries don’t get many recipes. Im always thinking about these things.
