Ultimate Car Fuel Production
Producing Biodiesel is a vital prerequisite for driving. The process involves several specialized machines and chemical stages.
Step 1: Canola Cultivation
- Seeds: Obtain Canola Seeds by breaking tall grass, similar to wheat seeds.
- Farming: Plant and harvest Canola just like wheat.
- Oil Mill: Place Canola into an Oil Mill to produce Canola Oil.
- Byproduct: You receive Canola Cake, which can be used to breed animals (cows, sheep, etc.).
Step 2: Methanol Extraction
- Blast Furnace: Place Wood Logs into the Blast Furnace to produce Methanol through pyrolysis.
- Byproduct: This process produces Charcoal as a byproduct.
Step 3: Chemical Reaction
- Backmix Reactor: Connect the Oil Mill and Blast Furnace to a Backmix Reactor using Fluid Pipes and Fluid Extractors.
- Mixing: The reactor combines Canola Oil and Methanol into a mixture. This machine requires energy (FE/RF) to operate.
Step 4: Decantation
- Split Tank: Pump the mixture into a Split Tank. This block does not require energy but takes time to separate the fluids.
- Outputs: The tank outputs Biodiesel (the fuel) and Glycerin (currently a byproduct that must be drained to keep the process running).
Fuel Logistics
| Block | Function |
|---|---|
| Fluid Pipe | Transports liquids between machines. |
| Fluid Extractor | Must be placed on the output side of a machine to pull fluids into pipes. |
| Fluid Filter | Placed inside an extractor to ensure only one type of fluid enters a pipe network. |
| Tank | Stores up to 16,000mb (16 buckets) of fluid. Placing tanks side-by-side connects them. |
| Fuel Station | Used to refuel cars. Can be filled via pipes or canisters. |
