Nice design. Very compact. Aren't you afraid that you run dry on heavy oil if the coal suplly is low?
I find the liquid handling unpredictable and just because the refineries are closer than the chem plants doesn't mean much...

No, the longer distance to the chemical plant is enough to prevent the heavy oil from leaking. The refinery only needs to recycle 55% of its heavy oil, and it collects much more than that from each cycle until it is full.

Needs one hand-loaded coal and four barrels' worth of heavy oil to kickstart the loop (plus the temporary unbarreller/ug pair, lower left corner looks good for that), then it's golden.

Basically how I got it started, 10 heavy oil barrels and 100 logs to get some steam. I've got 2 nearly full coal lines going into it and it uses them consistently, but outputs a full line of plastic.
