Oil Cracking Unit: Difference between revisions

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:

* x1 Controller block; front, centered along one of the 5 block wide sides
