A chemical plant converting heavy oil to lubricant.

Most recipes that either require or provide a fluid other than Crude oil is produced here. The chemical plant has 2 inputs and 2 outputs in fixed positions. Solid items are both inserted and removed by Inserters from any point (no need to target fluid input/output connections).

Recipes

The Chemical plant has three available recipes, one of which must be set before it can begin processing.
