TL;DR
1. Swap Military science and Science pack 3 in production grid2. Rename Science Pack 3 to Oil Science
3. Change Oil Science recipe to Lubricant, Plastic and Acid (or Lubricant, Plastic, Sulfur and Water? ) - builded in tech plant and not assembly machine
Why ?
ad 1) Military science is way easier to produce than Science pack 3 (can be builded before refinery).ad 2,3) This will simplify learning curve - focusing on basic oil products only and not refinery + red chips
I spend absurd amount of time only on Red+Green+Military science packs (400+ hours), because i was scared of pipes (and spaghetti) ... only rescently i got tru it (no now i dont understand, why i was scared in first place ...)
