Factorio Forums

So I have been playing factorio for a while now, but cant seem to work out how to automate the production of plastic(I already know how to make it but I can only do it manualy)

Edit just worked it out that I need all outputs to be In use

Build it in a chemical plant.

Search the forums or reddit for auto-cracking. There should be a few designs. I've done one too.

The idea behind it is to produce enough of everything (heavy/light/petroleum) and when one of them backs up the heavy or light will cracking down to petroleum. Or if light oil is backed up and you need heavy (for lubricant) it'll convert light oil to solid fuel.

It's a set and forget design. And expandable too.
