Player Tips & Tricks

• A setup of three oil refineries, one refining Crude Oil into Refined Oil and Hydrogen feeding into the other two refineries using X-ray Cracking (Tech) to process the former products into Energetic Graphite and Hydrogen can consume 30 Crude Oil to produce a net 30 Energetic Graphite and 45 Hydrogen per minute.
  • These products have a total energy of (6.3 MJ/Energetic Graphite * 30 Energetic Graphite/min) + (8 MJ/Hydrogen * 45 Hydrogen/min) = 549 MJ/min = 9.15 MJ/s = 9.15 MW
  • Given that this setup consumes only 2.88 MJ, plus (18kW * 11 Sorter Mk.I) = 0.198 MW (one sorter per input/output), and an additional 0.84 MW (which can be spread across multiple triplicates of refineries), this is an energy positive process, consuming less than 4 MW and leading to a net energy gain of just over 5 MW per set of three refineries.
