"It is a primary product of crude oil refining. It is a chemical fuel used to manufacture various chemical products."
Overview[]
Refined Oil is a more refined form of Crude Oil made in the Oil Refinery. It has a variety of uses at a Chemical Plant for crafting Sulfuric Acid as well as Plastic/Organic Crystals. As a fluid material while it can still be belted, it has a low stack count but can also be put into Storage Tanks.
If there is an excess of oil, it can be cracked into Hydrogen and Energetic Graphite. Alternatively if there is too much Hydrogen, then Hydrogen can be used in Reforming Refining with Coal to generate more Refined Oil. Refined Oil can also be burned as fuel, though this is not recommended and is less efficient than burning Hydrogen.
If a system does not have Crude Oil, but does have access to Hydrogen (which can either come from the Fire Ice recipe to make Graphene or from an Orbital Collector on a Gas Giant) it is possible to generate Refined Oil out of just Hydrogen and Coal using the Reformed Refining recipe, provided the player can supply a small amount of Refined Oil to kickstart the process.
