Petroleum Calculator

I wanted an advanced oil processing calculator that included all the math when cracking everything into petroleum. After doing the math myself I realized I could do all the math in game with circuits.

It outputs three values

• Petroleum output per second
• Number of chemical plants cracking heavy oil
• Number of chemical plants cracking light oil

And four constant combinators for input

• Oil refinery outputs per second × 100
• Heavy oil cracking outputs per second × 100
• Light oil cracking outputs per second × 100
• X = Number of oil refiners you want

The blueprint comes with the output ratios I'm using but you can adjust the constant combinators for different beacon or module setups.

Here are the outputs for X = 100

It was a fun challenge figuring out how to represent decimals and fractions with only integers.
