![]() but i found out, that helmod did not take into account, that heavier oil products can be cracked into lighter ones and it always had a surplus of heavy and light oil. no, actually, first i tried helmod to do the calculations for me. like you, i made an excel sheet to do all the calculations automatically. which can be solved for any inputs and outputs needed. When i first tried to find out how much crude and water i need to make this and that, i found out, that everything put together yields a set of linear equations. Reading your post, i think, trying to solve the advanced oil cracking math seems to be something, some players try their brains on as an involuntary bonus challenge. That's all, let me know any questions and I hope this is helpful enough to be updated into wiki.įactorio oil processing.xlsx (9.65 KiB) Downloaded 125 times 20200913_172746.jpg (3.41 MiB) Viewed 7381 times 20200913_172756.jpg (3.33 MiB) Viewed 7381 times I proved the optimal ratio of 20:5:17 with 0 lubricant and 0 solid fuel producing chemical plants and found that with 1 chemical plant making lubricant and 1 chemical plant making solid fuel, the ratio changes to 14:3:11.Īdditionally there are different ratios that can be found easily with the attached excel and inputting how many chemical plants one would like to use making lubricant and/or solid fuel. I attached a picture of my system diagram and calculations to the equations to include lubricant and solid fuel. What is a set of equations relating advanced oil processes, heavy oil to light oil crackers, and light oil to petroleum gas crackers (after choosing preferences for lubrication and solid fuel production plants) so that heavy oil and light oil are consumed at an equal rate while creating excess petroleum gas. Solid fuel is produced according to personal preference as a constant and consumes 10 light oil every 2 seconds to yield 1 solid fuel every 2 seconds. Lubrication is produced according to personal preference as a constant and consumes 10 heavy oil per second to yield lubrication. I set up the problem using the details from the wiki as below:ġ00 crude is consumed every 5 seconds to produce 25 heavy oil, 45 light oil, and 55 petroleum gas every 5 seconds in each advanced oil process.Ī heavy oil to light oil cracker can be used to consume 40 heavy oil every 2 seconds to produce 30 light oil every 2 seconds.Ī light oil to petroleum gas converter can be used to consume 30 light oil every 2 seconds to produce 20 petroleum gas every 2 seconds. I have a chemical engineering degree so I set out to do the calculation myself to find the equations behind the ratio. I don't think the 20:5:17 ratio will be the same if I also want to produce any lubricant or solid fuel. Then I found that I would also need to use heavy oil for lubricant and light oil for solid fuel. I checked on the wiki and found that I should crack heavy oil to light oil and light oil to petroleum gas in a ratio of 20:5:17 to keep the petroleum gas flowing for sulfur and plastic. I got technology for advanced oil processing and set up pipes when my plastic and sulfur stopped flowing because I didn't know how to use heavy oil and light oil. ![]() I started playing Factorio a week ago and I am on my first run.
