== Introduction ==
The '''Oil Cracking Unit''' is a specialized [[multiblock]] that uses Steam or Hydrogen to crack oil-based fuels. Compared to a [[Chemical Reactor]], an Oil Cracking Unit gets an additional 25-50% output bonus for the same recipes but runs them at a higher [[tier]] with similar EU cost/speed. Steam has a 50% bonus output, Hydrogen 25% bonus and 20% less Hydrogen compared to a Chemical Reactor. The Oil Cracking Unit can be further upgraded with improved [[coil]]s and has an advanced variant in the [[Mega Oil Cracker]]. Beyond power production, this multiblock can make Toluene, a component of [[Rocket]] fuel, crack Radox, and break down Naquadah into various noble gasses / radioactive elements.
==
An Oil Cracking Unit is a hollow 5x3x3 (WxHxD) structure that requires:
== Usage ==
The Oil Cracking Unit must have a steady supply of Steam or Hydrogen to work. If there are no [[Steam_Age#Boilers|Steam Boiler]]s available, a [[Fluid Heater]] can make steam from EU and water. IC2 steam is not compatible with this multiblock. Lacking an Input Bus, circuits must be set with a Programmed Circuit item, which is placed in the bottom-right slot of the Controller. Upgraded [[coil]]s reduce power consumption by 10% per tier, up to a maximum discount of 50% with HSS-G Coil Blocks. In practice, this overclocks and will make recipes run faster for about the same power consumption.

It needs Python to run. Feel free to manipulate the parameters in the code and derived the result you want by yourself.
