SLW Petrochem Fork

by NOiZE

Reworks petrochem to allow upward fluid synthesis. Removes petroleum-to-solid-fuel, adds crude-to-solid-fuel, enables coal/wood gasification into petroleum gas, introduces a Fischer-Tropsch upward cracking loop, and allows gas combustion into water.

Flip the standard oil meta on its head with a bidirectional, synthetic petrochem loop.

Designed to serve as a baseline dependency or a standalone logistical puzzle, this mod fundamentally alters how you handle oil products. It completely removes the ability to turn petroleum gas straight into solid fuel, shifting that production to raw crude oil instead.

Crucially, it opens up upward fluid synthesis. If your factory is drowning in light fractions, you can now use a specialized Fischer-Tropsch process to build lighter petroleum gas back up into heavy oil and light oil compounds. Combined with coal and wood gasification paths, this mod gives you total control over your hydrocarbon distribution—allowing you to synthesize exactly what you need, even if nature didn't provide it.
