Heavy oil is a liquid produced by refining crude oil in an oil refinery or extracted in Fulgora using an offshore pump. It can be processed into light oil, solid fuel and lubricant. It is more efficient to process heavy oil into light oil before creating solid fuel from it. It can also be used as ammo in flamethrower turrets.

Heavy oil can be obtained on Vulcanus using Simple coal liquefaction. This can be upgraded to Coal liquefaction once some initial heavy oil has been obtained.

Heavy oil cannot be obtained directly on Gleba. However, coal liquefaction can be used if a small amount of heavy oil is shipped in from elsewhere to kick start the process.

Building	Process	Results
Oil refinery	Advanced oil processing	5 + 100 + 50 → 25 + ( 45 + 55 )
Oil refinery	Coal liquefaction	5 + 10 + 25 + 50 → 90 + ( 20 + 10 )
Oil refinery	Simple coal liquefaction	5 + 10 + 2 + 25 → 50
