Emp.justine: Some common troubleshooting steps on fluid wagons.

{{Languages}}
{{Stub}}
{{:Fluid wagon/infobox}}

The '''fluid wagon''', also known as the '''rail tanker''', is a recent addition to [[train]]s, added in 0.15. It is capable of transporting [[liquids]] by [[rail]]. Fluids can be pumped in and out of the wagon using a [[pump]].
Similar to [[cargo wagon]]s, a [[diesel locomotive]] is required to move the liquid wagon.

The fluid wagon consists of three tanks which by default are connected as a single unit to hold a total of 75k units of fluid. These tanks can be disconnected from each other to form three separate tanks holding 25k units of fluid each. This way, one fluid wagon can transport three separate fluids without mixing them together. One pump can attach to each of the three tanks.

The fluid wagon weighs 3 times as much as a regular cargo wagon, so will need more locomotives pulling it to move at a similar speed/acceleration to non-fluid trains.

== Troubleshooting ==
To get fluid into the fluid wagon, you need a [[Railway#Stations|Train station]] with [[Small pump]]s.

The wagon needs to be aligned with the rail grid; do this by using the [[Automated rail transportation (research)|Automated rail transportation]] [[Train stop]]s as [[Railway#Train_schedule|Train schedule]] destination, and a fueled [[Locomotive]].

Also make sure that the [[Rail]]s under the Fluid wagon are '''straight rails''' and not '''curved rails'''. The pumps will only work if the wagon is perfectly ortogonal to the grid.

Storage tank

2017-05-23T00:34:10Z

Emp.justine: /* Usage as "Energy-Tank" */ Some 0.15.0 math.

{{Languages}}
{{:Storage tank/infobox}}
[[File:storagetank.png|thumb|150px|Four storage tanks linked together to form a large storage facility.]]
The Storage Tank is a building that can store up to 2500 units of a fluid. It is a passive storage - it has no input and no output, depending on pressure to fill it, essentially being a large pipe.

== Usage ==

Storage tank will only be filled to the same percentage of capacity as pipes that lead to it. Pipe that always carries about 5 water will fill the tank to about 50% of its capacity. [[Small Pump]]s can be used to fill the entire tank from a low pressure source (such as distant [[Pumpjack]]s).

Storage tank is typically used to store excess oils ([[Crude Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Heavy Oil]]) to ensure that [[Oil refinery]] works smoothly.

Storage tank can also be used as a water-based [[Basic accumulator|Accumulator]]. If hot water consumption by [[Steam engine]]s changes a lot during the day-night cycle (for example because of [[Solar panel]]s or [[Laser turret]]s), storage tanks can be filled with hot water during low power usage and then emptied during night.

You can empty a storage tank either by ''mining and rebuilding'' (you don't get the liquids back!) or if you connect a [[Steam engine#Using other liquids?|steam engine]] on it. You can also use a [[Small Pump]] to drain the tank into another storage tank.

== Usage as "Energy-Tank" ==

Since 0.15.0, a Storage tank filled with [[Heat exchanger]] 500°C Steam stores around 2.4GJ; a Storage tank filled with [[Boiler]] 165°C Steam stores 750MJ.

* 1 [[Storage tank]] can store 25 000 units of 500ºC Steam.

* 1 [[Steam turbine]] can output 5 820kW = 5 820kJ/s using 60 units of 500ºC Steam/s.
* 1 Storage tank can keep 1 Steam turbine working for 25 000 ∕ 60 ≈ 416.6667s
* A Storage tank can store up to 25 000 ∕ 60 × 5 820 = '''2 425 000kJ''' using 500ºC Steam.

* 1 [[Storage tank]] can store 25 000 units of 165ºC Steam.

* 1 [[Steam engine]] can output 900kW = 900kJ/s using 30 units of 165ºC Steam/s.
* 1 Storage tank can keep 1 Steam engine working for 25 000 ∕ 30 ≈ 833.3333s
* A Storage tank can store up to 25 000 ∕ 30 × 900 = '''750 000kJ''' using 165ºC Steam.

Up to 0.14, a completely filled tank with 100°C hot water stores 212MJ. This is the equivalent to 42 [[Basic accumulator]]s, but the tanks needs only 3x3 tiles of space.

See [[Liquids/Hot]] to learn more about using stored hot water. See [[Liquids/Pipe physics#Temperature|Pipe physics]] to understand, how this is calculated. Energy-tank is not correct, it is a "work-tank". See [[Energy and Work]] about the difference between work and energy.

Emp.justine: /* Types */ typo

{{Languages}}
'''Liquids''' (''[[Liquids#Notes|note]]'') are non-solid [[items]], examples including water and oil.

==Behavior==

Liquids can only exist inside [[pipe]]s and certain buildings, meaning they cannot be carried by the player, moved using [[inserters]], dropped on the ground, or even dumped in a lake. They are counted in continuous fractions, rather than discrete integers. Liquids can be silently destroyed by removing buildings or pipes, mixing types of liquid, or at the input of a [[steam engine]].

=== Pressure and throughput ===

Liquid will move in pipes from high pressure to low pressure. The pressure of a liquid in a pipe can be seen through the pipe window. A pipe with high pressure will show itself nearly full, a pipe with low pressure will show a small trickle of the liquid.

==Flow mechanics==
{{Main|Liquids/Pipe physics}}
All types of liquid have the same properties, like their fluidity, density, and heat capacity.

==Using water to generate power==
{{Main|Liquids/Hot|Power Production}}
Liquids can be used to generate power.

==Oil processing==
{{Main|Oil processing}}

==History==

Water was the first liquid to be added to the game. In [[Version0.9|v0.9]] the [[oil processing]] system, and therefore new liquids, including crude oil and petroleum gas, were added.

Fuel

2017-05-20T03:04:44Z

Emp.justine: /* See also */

{{Languages}}
'''Fuel''' can be inserted into [[burner devices]] and burned to power them. Different types of Fuel provide different amounts of energy, measured in megajoules (MJ). A megajoule (MJ) is equivalent to one megawatt second (MWs), so dividing the megajoule (MJ) value by the power consumption in megawatts (MW) gives the time the fuel will last.

== Types ==
This is a list of all [[Items]] usable as fuel in burner devices, ordered by fuel value:
{| class="wikitable"
! Item !! Fuel value !! Fuel value per raw total !! Vehicle acceleration bonus
|-
| {{imagelink|wood|Wood}} || 2 MJ || 4 MJ per raw wood || 100%
|-
| {{imagelink|raw-wood|Raw wood}} || 4 MJ || 4 MJ per raw wood || 100%
|-
| {{imagelink|small-electric-pole|Small electric pole}} || 4 MJ || 4 MJ per raw wood || 100%
|-
| {{imagelink|wooden-chest|Wooden chest}} || 6 MJ || 3 MJ per raw wood || 100%
|-
| {{imagelink|coal|Coal}} || 8 MJ || 8 MJ per coal || 100%
|-
| {{imagelink|solid-fuel|Solid fuel}} || 25 MJ || 20 MJ per unit of [[Crude oil]]¹ || 120%
|-
| {{imagelink|rocket-fuel|Rocket fuel}} || 225 MJ || || 180%
|-
| {{imagelink|uranium_fuel_cell|Uranium_fuel_cell}} || 8 GJ² || 507 MJ per [[Uranium ore]]³ || Unusable
|}

(¹) This assumes the Crude oil is processed completely into Solid fuel, using [[Advanced oil processing]] and [[Heavy oil cracking]] as intermediate steps, but not [[Light oil cracking]]. Less efficient methods are possible. In practice, the [[Petroleum Gas]] part of processed crude oil is more likely to be used for something other than Solid fuel.

(²) This fuel type can only be used in a [[nuclear reactor]]. Unlike other fuel types, it can't be placed into standard burners.

(³) Assuming that all U-238 is enriched, all used up cells are reprocessed, and there is no reactor neighbor bonus.

Steam turbine

2017-05-20T02:50:19Z

Emp.justine: Not-rounded power output for Steam turbine.

{{Languages}}
{{Stub}}
{{:Steam turbine/infobox}}
The [[Steam turbine]] consumes [[steam]] to create electric energy. It is usually used together with [[heat exchanger]]s and a [[nuclear reactor]].

Although steam turbines can be connected to [[boiler]]s for use in conventional steam power, the steam produced by boilers is much lower temperature than the steam produced by heat exchangers. This results in the steam turbine working at much lower than full capacity. Because of this, it is not suggested to replace steam engines with the much more expensive steam turbines for this use.

== Power output ==

Each Steam turbine take a maximum input of 60 units of 500°C [[Steam]] per second and outputs 5.82MW of electricity; the 5.8MW listed on the tooltip is rounded. User [https://www.reddit.com/user/V3jp1Lp1yNSD u/V3jp1Lp1yNSD] [https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/67xgge/nuclear_ratios/ did some math].

* [[Heat exchanger]] heats 15°C [[Water]] to 500°C [[Steam]];
* It takes 0.2kJ of [[Fuel|burner]] energy to raise 1 [[Water]] 1°C;
* Steam is consumed by [[Steam turbine]]s at a rate of 60 [[Water]]/s;
* (500 - 15) × 0.2 × 60 = 5820kW, or 5.82MW.

Crafting

2017-05-04T18:13:08Z

Emp.justine: /* Automated crafting */ separated in sections named in a consistent way with ProductionNav; Added 0.9.0 (oil) and 0.15.0 (uranium) crafting entities.

{{Languages}}
[[File:Receipe-cheatsheet.jpg|400px|thumb|Recipe cheatsheet, taken from [https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-6 Factorio Friday Facts #6].]]

The process of 'crafting' is to produce an end product off of input products using a recipe. The [[player]] or [[Assembling machine]]s can craft. Smelting is achieved by using [[Furnace]]s. Since smelting cannot be done by the player, it is impossible to craft some items directly from raw resources. Some crafting even beyond raw resources still requires an assembling machine.

In the beginning of the game, it is easy to make everything manually, but as the game advances manual crafting is less and less efficient of a way to create. Products that require liquids and a few others (such as engine units) cannot be manually crafted. This is to encourage automation.

== Achievements ==
{{Main|Achievements}}
The concept of crafting is directly connected to the following achievements:
; Lazy bastard
: Win the game by crafting no more than 111 items manually.
; You are doing it right!
: Construct more machines using robots than manually.

== Manual crafting ==

Manual crafting is the most basic form of crafting. To manually craft an object, open the player's inventory (Default keybind {{keybinding|e}}), and select an object to manually craft on the right. Left click for one, right click for five, and shift click to make as many as possible. If the image of the item is greyed out, ensure you have the materials necessary to craft the object. If you lack a resource, it will be shown highlighted in red text if you mouseover the product. Materials that you don't have but you can craft will be highlighted in orange text, and will be chain-crafted to reach the product you selected. Common candidates being [[copper cable]] or [[Electronic circuit]]s, which will be automatically crafted if you choose an item that contains them.

While manually crafting, there will be icons in the bottom left of the screen, which contain the current crafting operation. When an item is selected for crafting, the resources will be preemptively taken from the player's inventory. If that operation is then cancelled, the items will be fully returned to the player.

To cancel a manual crafting operation from the queue at the bottom left of the screen, left click (to cancel one operation), right click (to cancel five operations), or shift-left click to cancel all crafts of that item. This is useful if you accidentally queue the wrong product, or too many of a product. All the materials taken to craft the item will be returned to your inventory. Manual crafting can be cancelled at any time, but already-crafted intermediate products will not be uncrafted.

== Automated crafting ==

Automated crafting is done outside of the player's inventory, allowing for multiple products to be produced at once, in synchronous harmony. This is where most crafting should take place.

Key structures in automated crafting are:

|-
| {{imagelink|centrifuge|Centrifuge}} || Process [[Uranium ore]] into more useful [[Items#Intermediate products|intermediate products]]. Introduced in 0.15.0.
|}

== Basic ==
As an introduction to crafting, let's craft some simple iron plates.

'''Task''': create [[Iron plate]]s.

Steps:
# Place a [[Burner mining drill]] onto an [[Iron ore]] resource field. This is a silvery patch that is fairly common.
# Place a [[Furnace]] directly in front of the output (press {{keybinding|Alt}} to show output arrow), so that the miner outputs the ore into the furnace, which can receive on any side.
# Fill both the miner and the furnace with [[Fuel]], such as coal or logs.
# Wait. After a few seconds, the first piece of [[Iron plate]] is smelted and available for collection. Either collect it manually, or pull it out with an [[Inserters|inserter]].

This entire process is commonly referred to as 'smelting'. [[Copper ore]] must also be smelted.

== Advanced ==

Crafting of [[Items]] can be automated. To automatically craft items, place a [[Assembling machine]], and select the recipe. Note that if the recipe is complicated enough, higher tiers of assembling machines may be necessary. Then, place all requested ingredients into the input slots, and the assembling machine should craft the item. Note that unlike manual crafting, each step of the craft requires another assembly machine. For example, crafting a [[lamp]] requires a machine to make [[copper cable]], a machine to make [[iron stick]]s, a machine to make [[electronic circuit]]s, etc. ''Assembly machines cannot automatically chain-craft like the player.''

To keep up continuous production ingredients must be provided via [[belt transport system|belts]] and [[Inserters]]. The manufactured items can also be extracted by [[Inserters]] and are then available for further usage elsewhere in the factory.

== Quick summary ==

'''Burner devices''' are devices that burn [[Fuel]] to operate instead of relying on Electricity.

Burner devices are typically used early in the game before an [[Electric system]] has been constructed. They can also be used later in the game in remote locations where electrical power would be difficult to set up. [[Vehicles]] are necessarily all burner devices.

Burner devices tend to be significant sources of [[Pollution]].

Note that this list does not include anything that consumes Fuel as an ingredient to build other items. For example, a Plastic factory consumes Coal, but it does not count as a burner device.

Belt transport system

2017-05-04T03:40:43Z

Emp.justine: /* See also */

{{Languages}}

The belt transport system is the first system the [[player]] will use to transport items from place to place. It, along
with [[Railway|trains]], and [[Logistic network|Logistic robots]], makes up the systems of item transportation in
Factorio.

Belts specifically are used to transport [[Items]]. By developer design, all transport belts run without using energy.
This is to reduce complexity and allow belts to be placed outside of electricity networks.

== All types of Transport belts ==

Below is a chart of all the Transport Belts present and available for use in Factorio.

== Tiers of belts ==

[[File:Transport_belts_speed.gif|300px|thumb|top|Animation showing the three types of belt and their speed (from top to bottom: regular belts, fast belts and express belts).]]
There are 3 different tiers of belts available for use. [[Transport belt|The basic type]] has a yellow color and is
the slowest. [[Fast transport belt|Next tier up]] has a red color, and is twice is fast as the yellow tier. [[Express transport belt|The third]] and final tier is colored blue and is three times as fast.

{{clear}}

== Mechanics of belts ==

This section describes the mechanics of transport belts.

=== Merging and un-merging belts ===

Belts of all tiers have 2 lanes for items to ride on. This allows for either a double flow of one material, or with
some careful setup, transporting two different materials on the same belt. Mixed belts can be beneficial for
smelting ore, or producing items with many different ingredients such as [[science pack 3]]. Un-merging a mixed belt is
fairly easy too, since an underground belt will block half of the belt.

[[File:Transport_belts_merge.gif|300px|top]]   [[File:Transport_belts_unmerge.gif|300px|top]]

Commonly, merging and un-merging is done by using a [[splitter]]. The trick in the second picture is better described in '''[[Underground_belts/More_uses|More uses of Underground Belt]]'''.

=== Lane balance ===

:''Main article: [[Balancers#Lane_Balancers|Lane Balancers]]''

Due to how items are placed onto belts by [[inserters]], their lanes can sometimes become unbalanced. In order to
maintain throughput, balancing the lanes may be necessary. The gifs below show a few ways how to do this:

[[File:Transport_belts_balance1.gif|300px|top]]   [[File:Transport_belts_balance2.gif|300px|top]]

=== Belt Throughput ===

Maximizing the throughput is important, since it will keep belts efficient. Therefore some definitions need to
be introduced:

; Speed
: How fast a belt moves.
; Density
: How tight are the items put onto the belts.
; Throughput
: This is speed * density. It describes how many items pass by in a given time.

So, there are three opportunities to enhance the throughput:

* More density

Sometimes items have little spaces next to each other that aren't big enough for other items to fit
in. In this case reordering the items can still increase the density. This can be done by temporarily increasing the
belt speed on a single tile or by merging 2 lanes with an inserter.

The gif below shows the problem with a low density belt, and the right shows how it can be rectified. (Notice the red belt)

[[File:Transport_belts_density.gif|top|300px]]

* More speed

If the belts in the factory are already at maximum density, their speed can still be upgraded with better belts. Finding the bottleneck is the first thing that needs to be done, usually it can be discovered quite
easily. There will be a part of the belt where the items don't move quickly (or at all) or stop at maximum density
and suddenly they come to a point where this 'stop and go' effect releases itself, the bottleneck has been found.
In most cases, this will be the place where belt optimization is needed.

* More belts

Adding additional parallel belts can also increase the throughput. Simply place more belts carrying the item that needs throughput, and add [[splitter]]s to balance items between them.

=== Belt Tricks ===

Moving fast can be essential to defend alien attacks in time. Running on a belt will increase or decrease the movement
speed of the [[player]] accordingly to the belts speed. That is why building a belt towards your [[defense]]s can
be beneficial.

However, the player is not the only unit that can be moved by transport belts. Additionally, biters and spitters can be
moved. This can be abused to improve your defense. Firstly, biters will have a harder time to reach your walls when
placing express transport belt in front of them. Secondly, spitters can be moved closer to your walls. That way more
turrets can attack a single spitter at once.

Another useful usage are [[car]]s on transport belts. Cars have an inventory and can be filled by [[inserters]].
So, they can be used as moving boxes on belts. This has several advantages: Firstly the throughput of the
belt-car-boxes is amazingly high, secondly the inserter stack size bonus does apply here and make inserters more
effective.

=== Placement ===

| style="padding-right:1em" | [[File:Transport_belts_doplace.gif|300px|top]]
| [[File:Transport_belts_replace.gif|300px|top]]
|}

While conveyor belts can be placed in a line by clicking and dragging the mouse, it is often easier to hold the mouse down and move your character. Conveyor belts can be rotated after being placed by hovering over them with an empty hand and pressing {{keybinding|r}}, or by building over them with another conveyor belt. Conveyor belts can also be upgraded in this manner, by placing the another belt over top of it.

{{clear}}

== Splitters ==

[[Splitters]] are another form of item manipulation. Splitters are a 2x1 tile that split incoming [[Item]]s on belts
from one input to two outputs, in a 50/50 ratio. They are used to divide resources between two belts, or balance
multiple belts.

== Mechanics of splitters ==

The behavior of splitters looks simple at first glance. But they are not that simple. Splitters have an astonishing amount of uses.

* Splitters have two input belts, and two output belts. If the splitter receives items on one belt, it will split the
input evenly between it's two sides.

* If one of the outputs is fully backed-up and the splitter cannot split evenly, it will put all input on it's other
output.

* Splitters can also take two inputs and one output.

The output will be an even mix of both the inputs. This can be
used to efficiently merge two belts together. When it does this, the items will not be shuffled.

In order to join/split belts, the splitter must be the same speed as the incoming belts, otherwise the splitter will
become a bottleneck.

However, when both belts are at full capacity, the splitter will prefer one side, and use the other to fill gaps. This
behavior is due to the game being unable to fairly reverse-split the belts. Explained by the developers:

''"But there are fundamental problems with equal joining. How exactly will you define it? Once you have an available
item to move to the belt on the left belt, you would have to wait, if some other item on the right belt doesn't
arrive, as it would be the time for the right belt to be activated. But how long do you wait? And once you wait you
limit the throughput of the splitter."''

This behavior can be used to prioritize input from certain belts, such as from a storage.

=== Balancing ===

{{Main|Balancers}}

Balancers are used to evenly distribute items over multiple belts or multiple belt lanes.

== Underground belts ==

Underground belts can be used to cross different flows of items without interfering. They move items like a [[Transport belts|normal belt]].

* You can cross any number of entities and all types of ground, like water, swamps, etc. (input and output of course over water)
* You can cross other underground stuff (any number of underground belts or underground pipes). They won't be mixed.
* For the connection only the endpoints (entry-side and exit-side) are relevant.
* The maximum distance underground is 4 [[tile]]s.
* An underground belt pair with a blocked output stores up to 20 items. (Per lane? Untested!)
* If you mine an underground belt, up to 20 items are recovered, the remaining items in the underground are placed into your inventory.
* The half of the underground belt tile with a belt can accept input from the side. The other half (with a tunnel entrance) blocks incoming items.

''This last fact is important, because it can be used to do some tricks.''

:[[File:Split-swap.png|thumb|300x400px|You can turn the order of the lanes or split the lanes completely with the underground belts trick]][[File:Split&swap2.PNG|thumb|300x400px|Narrower version with reversed underground belt flow. Used 1 Fast underground belt to prevent connection]]

=== Underground Belt as blocker of one side of belt ===

To build this you need to place one underground belt and then press R to reverse it's direction. This converts the underground belt entrance to an exit (and vice versa).

This trick and similars has several more usage cases. See down.

==== Discussion ====

The opinions in the Factorio-forum about this "trick" are mixed. Newer players think this is a bug. The older think, it needs just a graphical rework of the underground belt to make it's function clear.

=== Splitting Belt-Lanes with Underground Belt ===

With the same trick the underground belts can be used to split the left and right lane of a belt! This trick come up from [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=198&p=938 this forum-thread].

:[[File:Mpstark-ANwfZsj.gif]]
On the right is an example how to swap lanes first and then splitting and filling belt with materials of one lane.
To understand the picture start at top. The inserters place just copper- and iron-plates on left and right lane of the belt. Then place a splitter and split into two belts. Place an underground belts orthogonal (90 degrees left or right) to each end of the belts. Place the exit-side directly at the next tile. The result is that only one lane of the incoming belt is transported.
In the next splitter this procedure is repeated to prove, that the transformation can be reversed.
Use splitters to fill two belt-lanes again.

This trick is of course also useful with one underground belt, when you want to transport only one lane and keep the other. You need then of course no splitter.

The big advantage of this construction is, that it doesn't need any energy to run (smart inserters, which sort that, need always energy) and it is much faster than a single smart splitter and cannot "forget" one item. The biggest disadvantage is, that it is a little bit complicated to built (and expensive) and needs some more space (but not much more, when building the same throughput with inserters). But this is definitely a good idea, when you have lots of items on different lanes of a belt and want to have them distincted.

===Example usages===
* See [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3211&p=23636#p23636 this thread] for joining two lanes into one.
* more than 20 furnaces on one belt cannot be supplied with only one lane (the other lane for the coal). Instead the inner belt supplies the furnaces with iron ore and on the two outer belts one line each with coal and the other line for the produced iron-plates.
* Production of red potion: the inner line of the belt for the produced iron gear wheels, the outer line for the produced red potion.
* a very distant and not so big mining site with both iron- and copper-ore fill the items each on one lane of the long belt, that transports it from there to your factory. In the factory this is resplitted.

Emp.justine: /* History */

{{Languages}}
{{:Blueprint/infobox}}

Blueprints are a smart way to 'copy & paste' parts of a factory with help of [[Construction robot]]s.

== Achievements ==
{{Main|Achievements}}
Blueprints are directly connected to the following achievements:
* Automated construction
: Construct 100 machines using robots.
* You are doing it right!
: Construct more machines using robots than manually.

== Usage ==

Blank blueprints can be crafted in the crafting menu in the top row of the production tab, or as of version 0.15 by clicking the 'new blueprint' button in the blueprints dialog. (This dialog is be opened by pressing b or clicking the blueprint icon above the map.)

The blank blueprint can now be used to 'copy' a set of buildings.

For example, copying this small laser defense setup:

[[File:Blueprint-example-01.png]]

=== Create a blueprint ===

To create a blueprint select the blueprint item out of the toolbar or the inventory. With the blueprint icon shown next to the mouse cursor, click and hold the left mouse button and drag a box as large as needed. All buildings which will be included in the blueprint will be highlighted with a green square. Once everything to 'copy' is inside the drag box, release the mouse button, and the 'Blueprint icon setup' menu will open.

[[File:Blueprint-example-02.png‎]]

=== Blueprint icon setup ===

On the top left of the 'Blueprint icon setup" menu there are four icon slots. The game chooses automatically the number of icons and which are pre-selected depending on the number of buildings that are included. This can be changed by simply clicking on the icons to choose the desired ones.

On the top right there are two icons to 'create blueprint' and 'cancel blueprint'. The 'create blueprint' icon will also show a preview of how the blueprint icon will look after creation. The 'Blueprint preview' just shows the preview of the blueprint.

On the bottom the 'Total' number of buildings included in the blueprint is shown.

Finally, create the blueprint if everything is fine or cancel it. Canceling does not consume the blueprint item. The created blueprint will be in the tool belt or the inventory (or dropped to the ground if no tool belt/inventory slot is available).

[[File:Blueprint-example-03.png‎]]

=== Placing the blueprint ===

To use/place the created blueprint select it from the tool belt or inventory. The whole building setup of the blueprint will be shown at your mouse cursor. It is possible to place it rotated, press the default key {{keybinding|r}} to rotate. The blueprint can be placed anywhere inside the green (or orange) 100x100 area of a [[Roboport]], or within range of a [[personal roboport]] installed in [[modular armor]].

[[File:Blueprint-example-04.png‎]]

After the blueprint gets placed somewhere, the buildings are placed as ghost buildings. [[Construction robot]]s will now start to pick up the needed items from the construction network/the player inventory (if using a personal roboport) and place them at the ghost buildings. The required items need to be in the network in an [[Active Provider chest]], a [[Passive Provider chest]] or a [[Storage chest]].

[[File:Blueprint-example-05.png‎]]

=== Viewing and clearing a blueprint ===

Right clicking on a blueprint allows you to can view and clear it. By clearing it, it will become blank can be set again.

== Additional information ==

* Once a blueprint is created it can be used unlimited times.
* To place a blueprint that is blocked by existing buildings you can hold shift to place the things that aren't blocked.
* Buildings marked for destruction will not block placing a blueprint. The building cannot be placed until a construction bot can remove it. This can cause an item outside the construction zone to block construction of a 2x2 building on the edge of the zone.
* It is unknown if there is a limit for the size of a blueprint. But it is at least bigger then one screen, even when zoomed out all the way.
* Placing very large blueprints can be problematic when parts of it are out of the roboport construction area. If roboports are part of the blueprint and are placed inside the construction area they will extend the logistics zone as soon as it is powered up.
* Since 0.13, blueprints can be stored in a [[Blueprint book]]. This can store many blueprints while taking only one inventory spot.
* Editing a blueprint is not possible, it always has to be re-created after clearing.

== History ==

{{history|0.14.15|
* Blueprint library: Allows for keeping players blueprints between individual game saves and allows sharing blueprints in multiplayer games.
* The build rotation of each blueprint is remembered independently of the general item build rotation.

Deconstruction planner is an item which allows the player to mark entities for removal. Marked entities will be removed by [[construction robot]]s in construction network range and stored in [[storage chest]]s.

You can use the deconstruction planner to '''cancel deconstruction''' (since v0.11). First, click the deconstruction planner to pick it up. Then, shift+click and highlight the area marked for deconstruction to cancel it. The deconstruction planner can also be used to order [[construction robot|robots]] to pick up items off the ground, useful for harvesting [[Alien artifact]]s.

==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 2500 units of any liquid.
|-
| {{imagelink|small-pump|Small Pump}} || Allows you to pump liquids from one area to another. Used inline (Between pipes).
|-
| {{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|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.

== 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 [5 : 1 : 7], you get ['''1''' : 0.20 : 1.4]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 2], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 2 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

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.

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.

=== 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.

=== 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 [5 : 1 : 7], you get ['''1''' : 0.20 : 1.4]. Round that up to get ['''1''' : 1 : 2], which means:
* 1 Oil Refinery on Advanced oil processing
* 1 Chemical plant on Heavy oil cracking
* 2 Chemical plants on Light oil cracking

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

Emp.justine: Linking to main page "Oil processing"

{{Languages}}
{{:Crude oil/infobox}}

{{Main|Oil processing}}

'''Crude Oil''' is a [[liquid]] extracted by [[Pumpjack]]s from [[Oil field]]s and is converted to [[Petroleum gas]], [[Light oil]], and [[Heavy oil]] by an [[Oil refinery]]. It can be transported either in [[pipe]]s or in [[barrel]]s.

It can also be used by [[Flamethrower turret]]s as ammo.

== Oil field ==

Each oil field has a yield displayed as x%. Each percent is equal to 75 pumpjack cycles. An oil field with 80% has between 6000 and 6074 cycles left, as yield does not display decimal places.

While cycles left is greater than 750 (10%), each pumpjack cycle reduces the number of cycles left by one.

So unless an oil field with less than 10% is created by map editor, yield will never drop below 750 cycles.

The amount of oil a pumpjack extracts per cycle is 1.0 multiplied by yield or [number of uses left] / 7500, but not greater than 10.0.
