==Infocard Categories==

Just wanted to mention that on a couple of your recent edits (adding infocards) it seems you've confused an item with the research, such as [[Flamethrower]] and [[Flamethrower (research)]]. I'd fix it but I've not worked with the infocard template yet. Thanks!<br/>
-- [[User:BenWo|BenWo]] ([[User talk:BenWo|talk]]) 07:32, 30 May 2014 (CEST)
:I'm doing this on purpose, it was suggested on [[Talk:Research]], and it seems like a good idea to not keep them separate. Also, if you look at the code behind one of the technology pages, you'll see that the template is super easy to use :) [[User:WiduX|WiduX]] ([[User talk:WiduX|talk]]) 17:41, 30 May 2014 (CEST)

Flamethrower

2014-05-30T03:38:40Z

WiduX: Moved over to infocard style information. Updated recipe.

{{Technology

|effects={{icon|flame-thrower||Flamethrower}} {{icon|flame-thrower-ammo||Flamethrower ammo}}}}

The flamethrower is an advanced weapon best used against hordes of enemies or trees. It has a decent damage and also an area of effect damaging multiple [[Enemies]] at once. It requires [[Flamethrower ammo]] to function.

==Infocards==

Really love all the infocard templates, thanks for adding those! :D -- [[User:BenWo|BenWo]] ([[User talk:BenWo|talk]]) 13:47, 25 May 2014 (CEST)
: Thank you! I think it adds more uniformity to the wiki, which makes it look neater and more professional. If you have any comments or suggestions, please share them. Or if you see places that can be improved, please do! [[User:Virtlink|Virtlink]] ([[User talk:Virtlink|talk]]) 13:58, 25 May 2014 (CEST)
:: Yeah nice infocards :D , btw the documentation can also be added to the template page with <nowiki>{{doc}}</nowiki>. Oh and there's also a category called [[:Category:Wikistyle_templates|Wikistyle templates]], maybe you can add new templates to this category :) [[User:TheGreenkey|TheGreenkey]] ([[User talk:TheGreenkey|talk]]) 21:05, 25 May 2014 (CEST)
::: Thanks, I didn't know that! Will look into it. [[User:Virtlink|Virtlink]] ([[User talk:Virtlink|talk]]) 21:46, 25 May 2014 (CEST)

Maybe we should add an icon showing that the crafting can be done in the player's inventory, where applicable. As it is now, it looks almost like the recipes can only be done in the assembly machines. While this is true for items like the engine unit, it creates some ambiguity. I can't think of a good way of showing this though. [[User:WiduX|WiduX]] ([[User talk:WiduX|talk]]) 21:01, 25 May 2014 (CEST)
: Perhaps the ''hand'' icon that is also present in the game, indicating that you can craft this ''by hand''? [[User:Virtlink|Virtlink]] ([[User talk:Virtlink|talk]]) 21:45, 25 May 2014 (CEST)

I've added the [[Template:Technology]] infocard template. Please feel free to make modifications if you'd like it to be different before it is implemented. [[User:WiduX|WiduX]] ([[User talk:WiduX|talk]]) 21:55, 25 May 2014 (CEST)
: Looks good! In the future, for picking a color for the banner, I found [http://www.colorpicker.com/45C221 ColorPicker.com] quite useful. I'm going to add an extra field to all the info card templates where we can put fields that are used only on a few pages. [[User:Virtlink|Virtlink]] ([[User talk:Virtlink|talk]]) 21:59, 25 May 2014 (CEST)
:: Yeah, I just used Photoshop's built-in color picker. I really like the infocard system, great work! [[User:WiduX|WiduX]] ([[User talk:WiduX|talk]]) 22:01, 25 May 2014 (CEST)

I like that! this brings the wiki really forward! The colors should be done more light on the white background, but with black background like in the forum they would look quite nice.

::That's a great idea. Most of the information can be extracted from the game. Then we always have the most up-to-date information without too much work (after all your effort, that is). [[User:Virtlink|Virtlink]] ([[User talk:Virtlink|talk]]) 19:55, 27 May 2014 (CEST)

I was planning on making a new infocard template for resources (e.g. [[Iron plate]], [[Plastic bar]], [[Electronic circuit]], etc.), but before I did this I wanted to check with you if you had any plans or suggestions for this? I was planning on having it be quite simple, with a section for the recipe, and a section for what it's used in, to be populated by [[User:Ssilk|Ssilk]]'s auto-wiki script. [[User:WiduX|WiduX]] ([[User talk:WiduX|talk]]) 20:13, 27 May 2014 (CEST)
: Go ahead, although perhaps its better not to have the 'Used in' section on the info card. It can get really ''huge'', especially for some of the more common items such as gears and circuits. That's why I haven't put it on there yet. What do you think?
: Fields I would include are ''Producers'' (such as assembly machine 2 or chemical plant), ''Consumers'', ''Recipe'' and ''Raw ingredients''. If any item has a special property, such as charge or speed, then you can add it as a custom property in the ''extra1'' or ''extra2'' field on the page of the item itself. [[User:Virtlink|Virtlink]] ([[User talk:Virtlink|talk]]) 21:18, 27 May 2014 (CEST)
:: What would the ''Consumers'' field do? I'm probably understanding this wrong, but that would just result in a ''Used in'' section, wouldn't it? [[User:WiduX|WiduX]] ([[User talk:WiduX|talk]]) 21:26, 27 May 2014 (CEST)
::: Since ''Producers'' are those factories/chemical plants that can make it, ''Consumers'' are those factories/chemical plants that can use it. For example, Lubricant is produced by a Chemical plant, but consumed only by assembly machines 2 and 3. Or, Coal is produced by a mining rig, but consumed by a car, locomotive, and a chemical plant. Think of consumers more as a ''used by'' than ''used in''. Hope this clears it up, but if it didn't, please tell me. :) [[User:Virtlink|Virtlink]] ([[User talk:Virtlink|talk]]) 23:43, 27 May 2014 (CEST)
::::OK. I get what you mean. I really should start remembering to put my signature on these posts, shouldn't I? :P [[User:WiduX|WiduX]] ([[User talk:WiduX|talk]]) 04:18, 28 May 2014 (CEST)

Research

2014-05-27T19:58:01Z

WiduX: Fixed links by removing "(research)".

== Basics ==

* Research is performed in [[Lab]]s.
* Every technology has a certain amount of units that are needed for it to be researched, the logistics 1 technology in the example requires 20 units.
* Every unit requires a certain combination of science packs, these have to be created and transported into the lab before it can start the research.
* When the laboratory has all the needed ingredients, it starts researching one unit, the time to research the unit varies from technology to technology.
* The more laboratories are researching at the same time, the shorter time it takes to get all the units required.

[[File:Techlist.png]]

[[File:res.png]] Example of research

=== Automation ===

For the new player, the basic red research pack will be the first bigger item they try crafting by hand only to realise how slow it is. The idea to automate production of the red science packs (and their insertion into the labs) will occur and grow to automate the green and blue too.

This process forms a good part of the early/mid game to establish a reasonable progression speed through the tech tree.

Inserter capacity bonus (research)

2014-05-27T19:44:23Z

WiduX: Moved over to infocard style information.

{{Technology
|name=Inserter Item Stack Size Bonus 1
|icon=inserter-stack-size-bonus
|cost={{icon|science-pack-1|50|Science pack 1}} {{icon|science-pack-2|50|Science pack 2}} {{icon|time icon|30|Time}}
|effects={{icon|bonus|+1|Inserter item stack size bonus 1}}
|requirements={{icon|logistics|1|Logistics 1}}
|allows={{icon|inserter-stack-size-bonus|1|Inserter item stack size bonus 2}}
}}
When [[inserters]] are moving items from one [[Storage/Stack|stack]] to another (or loading/unloading trains) they can move more items at the same time after researching [[Inserter item stack size bonus 1]]. It works only when moving from stack to stack. This means if either the target, or the source has no stack, the stack size bonus doesn't work. Therefore, the bonus typically only applies when moving from machine/chest to machine/chest, and not from machine/chest to belt or belt to machine/chest.

A slow [[Inserter]] with stack size bonus of 4, which moves from chest to chest, can easily keep up with a [[Fast inserter]], moving from chest to a belt. This is why it is recommended to directly move items that are required in high quantities at high speeds during automatic crafting.

This bonus is is also often called "inserter bonus", "stacksize bonus" , "stack bonus", etc.

It is directly related to [[Logistic robot cargo]].

Inserter capacity bonus (research)

2014-05-27T19:37:13Z

WiduX: WiduX moved page Inserter item stack size to Inserter item stack size bonus 1: Renamed to match in-game title.

When [[inserters]] are moving from one [[Storage/Stack]] to another (or loading/unloading trains) they can move more items at the same time. It works only when moving from stack to stack. In other words: If either the target, or the source has no stack, the stack size bonus doesn't work. Which is in most cases when moving from or to a belt.

A slow inserter with stack size bonus of 4, which moves from chest to chest, can easily keep up with a fast inserter, moving from chest to a belt. This is also one reason, why it is a bad idea to move copper wires with the belts.

This bonus is is also often called "inserter bonus", "stacksize bonus" , "stack bonus", etc.

It is directly related to [[Logistic robot cargo]].

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

This documentation isn't complete yet. '''Please refer to the following pages:
* [[Version0.9]]
* [[Liquid network/0.9]]
* [[Liquid_network]]

==Technologies==
[[Oil processing]] allows the player to set up a basic facility to mine, process, and use oil. To be able to increase the usefulness of the created oil products, you may want to research [[Sulfur processing]], as a prerequisite for the research of the [[Battery]], which is used in many items later on, including the [[Science pack 3]]. [[Plastics]] are also useful, as the [[Plastic bar]] is an ingredient in the [[Advanced circuit]], which is used often later on. [[Fluid handling]] allows you better control over your liquids, with items such as the [[Storage Tank]] and [[Small Pump]]. [[Advanced oil processing]] gives you a new recipe for use in the [[Oil refinery]], allowing you to get more useful products from your [[Crude oil]]. Finally, researching [[Flammables]] gives you access to the [[Flamethrower]].

==Recipes==
There are various recipes that can be done regarding [[Oil processing]]. They are listed below.

==Mechanics & Usage==
To mine, process and use oil, you'll need to do some research, as shown above.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|300px|Oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|300px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|300px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack|Pumpjacks]] need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), they will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, show on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease. Once it reaches 0.1 oil/s, it will continue to output this, never increasing or decreasing. This means that having enough pumpjacks on depleted oil wells will provide you with enough oil, but it is better to find new oil wells. To transport the oil, you can use [[Barrels]], and [[Diesel locomotives]] if you'd like.

The [[Crude oil]] then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The [[Oil refinery]] also needs [[Electric network|electricity]]. 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 on [[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.

WiduX:

This page requires a lot of updating to get to version 0.9.8 standards. I'm going through the individual techs, if someone could help with updating the images & the tech tree (tree diagram) that would be an immense help. I'm not too sure about how the formatting for that works yet.

A good tech tree for reference: http://davemcw.com/factorio/tech-tree/
Seems almost perfect, only a few techs missing like iron working and the latest follower robot techs at first glance. And it can be a bit hard to follow all the lines exactly. [[User:Teurlinx|Teurlinx]] ([[User talk:Teurlinx|talk]]) 18:21, 23 May 2014 (CEST)

And a proposal for the various technologies which have the same name as the effect - e.g. Speed module 1 & speed module 1 (research) - I suggest we merge the research page with the page for the item. I don't see a good reason to have the current confusing setup where they are separate. [[User:Teurlinx|Teurlinx]] ([[User talk:Teurlinx|talk]]) 20:41, 23 May 2014 (CEST)

: with the wiki generator I'm currently writing, this should be an easier task. I recommend to put not too much work into it. See https://github.com/alexaulbach/FactorioLua2WikiGenerator ... [[User:Ssilk|Ssilk]] ([[User talk:Ssilk|talk]]) 09:11, 27 May 2014 (CEST)
:: Don't worry about working on the individual pages, I've got that covered. If you could automate the creation of the tech tree and list of technologies, that'd be a better use of your time. [[User:WiduX|WiduX]] ([[User talk:WiduX|talk]]) 17:56, 27 May 2014 (CEST)

Modules are items used to enhance existing buildings' capabilities. They are expensive, require appropriate research and are produced slowly, but can eventually greatly improve the efficiency of a factory.

Assembling machine 2 can hold 2 modules, Assembling machine 4 can hold 4, [[Lab]] 2, [[Basic beacon]] 2, [[furnace#Electric furnace|Electric furnace]] 2 and [[Electric mining drill]] 3.

:If you want more products per second, use a speed module.
:If you want more products per input resource, use a production module.
:If you want more products per watt of energy, use an efficiency module.

=== Speed Module ===
Used in many [[Modular armor]] recipes.
* Level 1: Speed bonus: +20%, [[Energy]] consumption +50%
* Level 2: Speed bonus: +30%, Energy consumption +60%
* Level 3: Speed bonus: +50%, Energy consumption +70%

=== Productivity Module ===
Productivity modules add a second "production bar" at item producing buildings and labs. It fills at the speed of (production - 100%). When it reaches 100%, an extra item (or items, in recipes that result in more than one) is produced.
* Level 1: Productivity: + 4%, Energy consumption +40%, Speed -15%, [[Pollution]] multiplier +30%
* Level 2: Productivity: + 6%, Energy consumption +60%, Speed -15%, Pollution multiplier +40%
* Level 3: Productivity: +10%, Energy consumption +80%, Speed -15%, Pollution multiplier +50%

=== Effectivity Module ===
Minimal energy usage is 20% of base energy usage.
* Level 1: Energy consumption -30%
* Level 2: Energy consumption -40%
* Level 3: Energy consumption -50%

== Stacking penalty ==

More modules of the same type in one device will give diminishing returns. Because of that, it is more effective to have a mix of modules in the devices, and get more bonuses over the crafting cascade (assembly lines).

== Examples of usage ==
[[Electric furnace]]s are huge power hogs at 180 W per furnace. 2 basic effectivity modules reduce it to 36 W - almost 2.5 [[Solar panel]]s worth of power.

[[Electric mining drill]]s create 9 units of [[Pollution]] with no effectivity modules and 1.8 with 2 basic ones.

Same [[Electric mining drill]] with 3 Productivity modules 3 would create 76.5 units of [[Pollution]].

== Productivity ==

There where [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1511 many discussions about the productivity]. [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1511&start=20#p25089 This post] brings the problems of calculating the productivity to a point, where it becomes understandable.

== Efficiency and Effectivity ==

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficiency

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effectiveness

http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/threads/142360-Is-effectivity-a-relevant-word

And this (lol): http://de.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=effectivity

... So: Might be changed ...

Research

2014-05-27T15:38:58Z

WiduX: Changed link from "Modules (Research)" to "Module".

== Basics ==

* Research is performed in [[Lab]]s.
* Every technology has a certain amount of units that are needed for it to be researched, the logistics 1 technology in the example requires 20 units.
* Every unit requires a certain combination of science packs, these have to be created and transported into the lab before it can start the research.
* When the laboratory has all the needed ingredients, it starts researching one unit, the time to research the unit varies from technology to technology.
* The more laboratories are researching at the same time, the shorter time it takes to get all the units required.

[[File:Techlist.png]]

[[File:res.png]] Example of research

=== Automation ===

For the new player, the basic red research pack will be the first bigger item they try crafting by hand only to realise how slow it is. The idea to automate production of the red science packs (and their insertion into the labs) will occur and grow to automate the green and blue too.

This process forms a good part of the early/mid game to establish a reasonable progression speed through the tech tree.

Researching [[Modules]] allows the player to further research individual upgrade modules
Modules are items used to enhance existing buildings' capabilities. They are expensive, require appropriate research and are produced slowly, but can eventually greatly improve the efficiency of a factory.

Assembling machine 2 can hold 2 modules, Assembling machine 4 can hold 4, [[Lab]] 2, [[Basic beacon]] 2, [[furnace#Electric furnace|Electric furnace]] 2 and [[Electric mining drill]] 3.

:If you want more products per second, use a speed module.
:If you want more products per input resource, use a production module.
:If you want more products per watt of energy, use an efficiency module.

=== Speed Module ===
Used in many [[Modular armor]] recipes.
* Level 1: Speed bonus: +20%, [[Energy]] consumption +50%
* Level 2: Speed bonus: +30%, Energy consumption +60%
* Level 3: Speed bonus: +50%, Energy consumption +70%

=== Productivity Module ===
Productivity modules add a second "production bar" at item producing buildings and labs. It fills at the speed of (production - 100%). When it reaches 100%, an extra item (or items, in recipes that result in more than one) is produced.
* Level 1: Productivity: + 4%, Energy consumption +40%, Speed -15%, [[Pollution]] multiplier +30%
* Level 2: Productivity: + 6%, Energy consumption +60%, Speed -15%, Pollution multiplier +40%
* Level 3: Productivity: +10%, Energy consumption +80%, Speed -15%, Pollution multiplier +50%

=== Effectivity Module ===
Minimal energy usage is 20% of base energy usage.
* Level 1: Energy consumption -30%
* Level 2: Energy consumption -40%
* Level 3: Energy consumption -50%

== Stacking penalty ==

More modules of the same type in one device will give diminishing returns. Because of that, it is more effective to have a mix of modules in the devices, and get more bonuses over the crafting cascade (assembly lines).

== Examples of usage ==
[[Electric furnace]]s are huge power hogs at 180 W per furnace. 2 basic effectivity modules reduce it to 36 W - almost 2.5 [[Solar panel]]s worth of power.

[[Electric mining drill]]s create 9 units of [[Pollution]] with no effectivity modules and 1.8 with 2 basic ones.

Same [[Electric mining drill]] with 3 Productivity modules 3 would create 76.5 units of [[Pollution]].

== Productivity ==

There where [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1511 many discussions about the productivity]. [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1511&start=20#p25089 This post] brings the problems of calculating the productivity to a point, where it becomes understandable.

== Efficiency and Effectivity ==

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

This documentation isn't complete yet. '''Please refer to the following pages:
* [[Version0.9]]
* [[Liquid network/0.9]]
* [[Liquid_network]]

==Technologies==
[[Oil processing]] allows the player to set up a basic facility to mine, process, and use oil. To be able to increase the usefulness of the created oil products, you may want to research [[Sulfur processing]], as a prerequisite for the research of the [[Battery]], which is used in many items later on, including the [[Science pack 3]]. [[Plastics]] are also useful, as the [[Plastic bar]] is an ingredient in the [[Advanced circuit]], which is used often later on. [[Fluid handling]] allows you better control over your liquids, with items such as the [[Storage Tank]] and [[Small Pump]]. [[Advanced oil processing]] gives you a new recipe for use in the [[Oil refinery]], allowing you to get more useful products from your [[Crude oil]]. Finally, researching [[Flammables]] gives you access to the [[Flamethrower]].

==Recipes==
There are various recipes that can be done regarding [[Oil processing]]. They are listed below.

The above errors are a problem with the Wiki not allowing more than 100 images on a page.

==Mechanics & Usage==
To mine, process and use oil, you'll need to do some research, as shown above.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|300px|Oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|300px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|300px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack|Pumpjacks]] need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), they will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, show on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease. Once it reaches 0.1 oil/s, it will continue to output this, never increasing or decreasing. This means that having enough pumpjacks on depleted oil wells will provide you with enough oil, but it is better to find new oil wells. To transport the oil, you can use [[Barrels]], and [[Diesel locomotives]] if you'd like.

The [[Crude oil]] then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The [[Oil refinery]] also needs [[Electric network|electricity]]. 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 on [[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.

==Oil Processing Mechanics==
To mine, process and use oil, you'll need to do some research, as shown above.

===Overview===
[[Pumpjack|Pumpjacks]] need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), they will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, show on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease. Once it reaches 0.1 oil/s, it will continue to output this, never increasing or decreasing. This means that having enough pumpjacks on depleted oil wells will provide you with enough oil, but it is better to find new oil wells. To transport the oil, you can use [[Barrels]], and [[Diesel locomotives]] if you'd like.

The [[Crude oil]] then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The [[Oil refinery]] also needs [[Electric network|electricity]]. 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 on [[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.

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

This documentation isn't complete yet. '''Please refer to the following pages:
* [[Version0.9]]
* [[Liquid network/0.9]]
* [[Liquid_network]]

==Oil Processing Technology==
[[Oil processing]] allows the player to set up a basic facility to mine, process, and use oil. To be able to increase the usefulness of the created oil products, you may want to research [[Sulfur processing]], as a prerequisite for the research of the [[Battery]], which is used in many items later on, including the [[Science pack 3]]. [[Plastics]] are also useful, as the [[Plastic bar]] is an ingredient in the [[Advanced circuit]], which is used often later on. [[Fluid handling]] allows you better control over your liquids, with items such as the [[Storage Tank]] and [[Small Pump]]. [[Advanced oil processing]] gives you a new recipe for use in the [[Oil refinery]], allowing you to get more useful products from your [[Crude oil]]. Finally, researching [[Flammables]] gives you access to the [[Flamethrower]].

==Oil Processing Recipes==
There are various recipes that can be done regarding [[Oil processing]]. They are listed below.
