762x51mm: /* See also */ added a link to Data.raw for the exact syntax of some items.

{{Languages}}[[File:Fonts.png|right|frame|Different fonts displayed in-game.]]
Rich text formatting introduced in [[Version history#0.17.0|0.17.0]] allows the use of tags within most of the game's textboxes to change the visual formatting of text or to embed interactable images/entities. Predefined text tags are employed for this purpose.

==Text modifiers==

The color and font of text can be changed

==Tags==

Tags are useful for sharing blueprints, marking map locations in chat or adding icons to map markers and train stations.
Ctrl+alt clicking the map or ground will automatically insert a gps tag and post it into chat.

Shift clicking most things with the console open will insert a tag for that thing into chat.

When used in chat, the tag image will be followed by a text description, except for the img tag.
Used elsewhere only the image is shown.

762x51mm: /* Version history/0.16.0 (from .28 to .34) */ new section

Hello, and welcome to my talk page. Feel free to click "Add topic" at the top to send me a message. I'll get back to you at the earliest opportunity.

== Ratios section ==

Hello Gangsir,

I have an idea : create a new "ratios" section in the wiki "expert" section.

This section concern ratios about day/night, energy, constructions, fabrications, thics, transport and so on...

I could create it by myself, but i want your opinion before.

do you think it's a good idea or not ?

Thank you

: Sure, but what you're describing would be more of a tutorial, and would need to go in the Tutorial: namespace. Write it in your userspace, and then when you're finished you could move it into the tutorial namespace. --[[User:Gangsir|Gangsir]] ([[User talk:Gangsir|talk]]) - Admin 13:49, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

== Changelog update for 0.16.x ==

I was about to update the changelog for 0.16 when I saw the comment in the page source stating not to "waste" my time doing so, and to ping you instead because you have an automated method of doing it. Since patches for 0.16 have slowed down considerably in the weeks since the last changelog update, I figured now was as good a time as any to see about getting it updated from 0.16.15 to 0.16.24. — [[User:Dgw|dgw]] ([[User talk:Dgw|talk]]) 22:15, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
: Of course, thanks for the reminder. I'll do it now. --[[User:Gangsir|Gangsir]] ([[User talk:Gangsir|talk]]) - Admin 00:07, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

== Version history/0.16.0 (from .28 to .34) ==

Hello there, it's about the 0.16 changelog : https://wiki.factorio.com/Version_history/0.16.0

I was about to do it then i read <<''Please don't waste your time updating this page, User:Gangsir can do it automatically. If he forgets to do it, please message him about it.''>>

This is the message about it.

Oil processing

2017-05-24T00:13:32Z

762x51mm: /* Recipes */ Fixed the time requried for oil cracking to 3s instead of 5s.

{{Languages}}

Oil processing is a large part of Factorio. It was introduced in v0.9. Oil processing may refer to [[Oil processing (research)|the researched technology]], the recipe used in the [[oil refinery]], or the overall workings of oil.

The values shown here are accurate for version 0.15. In 0.14, anything that produces, consumes, or stores any fluid does so at 1/10th of the quantities listed here. Solid items and ratios are unaffected; this is essentially just a cosmetic change of the displayed units.

==Mechanics & Usage==
To extract, process and use oil and its connected products, research, as shown above, is needed.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|256px|Crude oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|256px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|256px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack]]s need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), [[Pumpjack]]s will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease down to a minimum of 0.1 oil/s, providing infinite oil at a very low rate.

All liquids can be transported by [[Pipe]]s, only Crude oil can be filled into [[Barrel]]s and moved with the [[Railway network]] or other [[vehicle]]s.

The Crude Oil then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The Oil refinery also needs Power provided by an [[Electric network]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. Both Heavy Oil and Light Oil can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of Light Oil, but are lacking in [[Petroleum Gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.

=== Tips ===
* [[Lubricant]]
** If you run your Heavy Oil pipe from the refineries past a Lubricant-making Chemical Plant before sending it to the cracking Chemical Plants, you can be sure that the Lubricant production will have priority over cracking.
** Most games will only ever need one lubricant-producing Chemical Plant and one Storage Tank for the lubricant.
** Since Lubricant is only used for blue belts and electric engines, and the only other use of Heavy Oil is flamethrower ammo (production of which is either best placed in your oil refinery or elided entirely) and cracking into Light Oil (the Heavy Oil to [[Solid fuel]] production ratio is terrible compared to cracking it first), you may want to consider placing your production of robots and belt assembly nearby your oil refineries, so lubricant doesn't need to be sent as far.

=== Items to handle fluids ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| {{imagelink|pumpjack|Pumpjack}} || Pumpjacks mine the Crude Oil from the [[Oil field|oil fields]], and let you move it by Pipe.
|-
| {{imagelink|oil-refinery|Oil refinery}} || Refines Crude Oil into basic oil products (Heavy/Light Oil and Petroleum Gas).
|-
| {{imagelink|chemical-plant|Chemical plant}} || Like the Assembling machine, used to automate processing of liquids and crafting.
|-
| {{imagelink|storage-tank|Storage Tank}} || Stores up to 25000 units of any liquid.
|-
| {{imagelink|small-pump|Pump}} || Allows you to pump liquids from one area to another. Used inline (between pipes). Also used to pump fluids into [[fluid wagon]]s.
|-
| {{imagelink|offshore-pump|Offshore pump}} || Allows you to pump water up from a body of water.
|-
| {{imagelink|assembling-machine-2|Assembling machine 2}} {{imagelink|assembling-machine-3|Assembling machine 3}} || Allows you to craft items using liquids, used mainly for Barrels.
|-
| {{imagelink|pipe|Pipe}} || Allows transporting of liquids from one location to another.
|-
| {{imagelink|pipe-to-ground|Pipe to ground}} || A Pipe, but under the ground, acting similar to [[Underground belts]].
|-
| {{imagelink|boiler|Boiler}} || Transforms [[water]] into [[steam]].
|-
| {{imagelink|steam-engine|Steam engine}} || Destroys any fluid it receives. Can be used as a flare stack, a wasteful way to get rid of unused oil-products.
|-
| {{imagelink|fluid_wagon|Fluid wagon}} || Carries up to 75000 units of liquid by rail, in three tanks of 25000 each.
|}

== Advanced ==

=== Optimal ratio to produce petroleum gas ===
The optimal ratio is the ratio of buildings in which they can all work without jamming or having inactive superfluous. For example, when you apply '''1''' Oil Refinery to the optimal Advanced oil processing ratio [25 : 3 : 21], you get ['''1''' : 0.12 : 0.84]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 1], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 1 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

Different ratios are close enough to the perfection such as [8 : 1 : 7].

The setup above will not jam, but it will have temporarily inactive buildings. If you round down, it will no longer have inactive buildings, but it will jam (over time).

This can be sped up with modules, but to prevent jams or inactive buildings, it is recommended to speed everything up evenly. When slowing down (by using [[Productivity module]]s) you are better off experimenting on altering the ratio or the speed on certain buildings, since these ratios are only mathematically correct if all the buildings have the same speed, and have 100% productivity (so no added bonuses).

Calculating the optimal ratios is relatively challenging, since not all of the durations of the processes are the same (the crafting speed of a chemical plant is 1.25, but the refinery's is 1.0). If this were not taken in account, it will lead to (temporarily) inactive buildings, which is not optimal.

=== Crude oil transport ===
[[File:Pumping_station.jpg|thumb|256px|Autonomus installation for manual pickup of [[Crude oil barrel]]s.]]
Since oil fields practically can deplete, new sources will be demanded. There are many different ways to overcome this problem:
* Pipes/Belts
* Manual pick-up
* Trains
* Robots (Troublesome over long distances)

==Mechanics & Usage==
To extract, process and use oil and its connected products, research, as shown above, is needed.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|256px|Crude oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|256px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|256px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack]]s need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), [[Pumpjack]]s will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease down to a minimum of 0.1 oil/s, providing infinite oil at a very low rate.

All liquids can be transported by [[Pipe]]s, only Crude oil can be filled into [[Barrel]]s and moved with the [[Railway network]] or other [[vehicle]]s.

The Crude Oil then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The Oil refinery also needs Power provided by an [[Electric network]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. Both Heavy Oil and Light Oil can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of Light Oil, but are lacking in [[Petroleum Gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.

=== Tips ===
* [[Lubricant]]
** If you run your Heavy Oil pipe from the refineries past a Lubricant-making Chemical Plant before sending it to the cracking Chemical Plants, you can be sure that the Lubricant production will have priority over cracking.
** Most games will only ever need one lubricant-producing Chemical Plant and one Storage Tank for the lubricant.
** Since Lubricant is only used for blue belts and electric engines, and the only other use of Heavy Oil is flamethrower ammo (production of which is either best placed in your oil refinery or elided entirely) and cracking into Light Oil (the Heavy Oil to [[Solid fuel]] production ratio is terrible compared to cracking it first), you may want to consider placing your production of robots and belt assembly nearby your oil refineries, so lubricant doesn't need to be sent as far.

=== Optimal ratio to produce petroleum gas ===
The optimal ratio is the ratio of buildings in which they can all work without jamming or having inactive superfluous. For example, when you apply '''1''' Oil Refinery to the optimal Advanced oil processing ratio [25 : 3 : 21], you get ['''1''' : 0.12 : 0.84]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 1], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 1 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

Different ratios are close enough to the perfection such as [8 : 1 : 7].

The setup above will not jam, but it will have temporarily inactive buildings. If you round down, it will no longer have inactive buildings, but it will jam (over time).

This can be sped up with modules, but to prevent jams or inactive buildings, it is recommended to speed everything up evenly. When slowing down (by using [[Productivity module]]s) you are better off experimenting on altering the ratio or the speed on certain buildings, since these ratios are only mathematically correct if all the buildings have the same speed, and have 100% productivity (so no added bonuses).

Calculating the optimal ratios is relatively challenging, since not all of the durations of the processes are the same (the crafting speed of a chemical plant is 1.25, but the refinery's is 1.0). If this were not taken in account, it will lead to (temporarily) inactive buildings, which is not optimal.

=== Crude oil transport ===
[[File:Pumping_station.jpg|thumb|256px|Autonomus installation for manual pickup of [[Crude oil barrel]]s.]]
Since oil fields practically can deplete, new sources will be demanded. There are many different ways to overcome this problem:
* Pipes/Belts
* Manual pick-up
* Trains
* Robots (Troublesome over long distances)
