Long Description

I always find it strange that you need at least four assemblers and two furnaces to automate inserter production, but for oil you need only one simple refinery. This mod changes that. Basic oil processing is still the same for now, but advanced has been changed to make use of the new distillation tower and steam cracker. You will need a larger area to setup your refinery and more electricity to power it! Introduces new intermediate fluids (gas, naphtha, gas oil and alkanes) and two new buildings (distillation column and steam cracker).

Future versions will include the natural gas resource and processing chain, flare stacks to burn off exhaust gasses and a revamped version of the basic oil processing chain.

You can add this mod to an existing game or start a new one. (Be warned though that if you have advanced oil processing set up you will have to completely redo it, as the old recipe no longer works)

Done.
Let me know what you think

The brand new steam reformer on the designtable. The major stuff is almost done. Then i just need to add some more detail.


This machine is used in the production of 99.999% pure hydrogen.

Looks good, but like you said: MOAR DETAIL!!!

Btw I hope you dont try to make it a non square entity.

[cartmen180]

As it looks now it will be 5x3 or 6x4. But if it looks bad when rotated i can easily move some stuff around to make it 4x4

You cant really rotate non square, non steam engine entities. You will get unsolveable problems with the collision box and the fluidboxes, I would advise you to try and test it first with a dummy gfx before you put too much work into the model and then it wont fit/work. Trust me I had the same issue, then I turned to make all gfx squared.

[cartmen180]

I did make some easy models two years back that worked just fine, but those didn't had fluid boxes. I will run some tests.
Thnx for the headsup

Or a fusion... like, the mods being compatible

[Arch666Angel]

I decided to use my own fluid/gases throughout my mods, but I will add a "converter" valve, which for example will turn my chlorine in bobs chlorine.

Btw you are forcing me to get more work into the petrochem instead of expanding in other directions

[cartmen180]

I don't consider modding a competition, but if it's on, it's on!
(maybe it's all a lie to get you working on petrochem )

One can only wonder what the purpose of this machine might be

Fuel cell power plant?

Looks good, but try to add more details and little things even if you wont really see them in the final render.

Fuel cell power plant?

Good guess! The title of the project gave it away eh

It is not a finished model :p I am still waiting for a friend to make me a proper logo to slap on those big surfaces xD

[cartmen180]

idea!

and some fields can not be done if realism is, for example, butane, methane deposit, in the form as oil deposit.
