Simplified Coal Liquefaction

Simplified Coal Liquefaction replaces the default coal liquefaction recipe with a cleaner and more practical alternative, to be more useful:

• 🔄 Input: 10 coal + 50 steam
• 🛢️ Output: 100 crude oil

This allows you to produce crude oil directly from coal and steam without requiring heavy oil as a catalyst.
Designed for use cases where crude oil is limited but coal is plentiful, such as on resource-constrained planets in the Space Age. Or for cases where you think oils are difficult enough.

Features

• Replaces the default coal liquefaction recipe
• Produces raw crude oil (not fractions)
• Simple, clean and vanilla-friendly
• Compatible with Factorio 2.0+

Use case

Useful when:
- Oil patches are depleted or non-existent
- You have large coal stockpiles (especially via trains or mining drones)
- You want a fallback oil source for rocket fuel, plastics or science
