After the balanced liquefaction build, here's another based on 25 refineries and 3 heavy to light crackers. This time though, instead of converting everything to gas, it's solid fuel instead. This build produces around 975 solid fuel per minute.
Instructions for Use
- Place the Blueprint
- Connect the build to water, coal and power at the top left. 3.1K of coal per minute is required. 1.5 blue belts is sufficient.
- Insert at least one barrel of heavy oil into the assembler at the top left
- Watch how the refineries start working one by one
- The refineries are now running in a closed loop, with the only output being solid fuel on the right hand side, about two thirds down on the screenshot
Notes
- After bootstrapping the build with at least 1 barrel of heavy oil, it is safe to remove the assembler
- The concrete in the screenshot is not part of the blueprint
- The blueprint includes Creative Mode entities only to supply the coal, water and power and to consume the solid fuel. Without these entities, you can use the build in vanilla
- At any one time, 2 of the plants making solid fuel from light, and 2 of the plants making solid fuel from gas are idle. A 'perfect' build would have 2 less Chemical Plants, but I like the symmetry
