Solid Fuel can be created from [[heavy oil]], [[light oil]] or [[petroleum gas]].

== When to use solid fuel ==
Solid fuel is also obtained from recycling [[scrap]]{{SA}}, which can be mined on [[Fulgora]]{{SA}}.
As of version 0.12.0 solid fuel is used to produce [[Rocket fuel]], which is used to launch a rocket from the [[Rocket Silo]]


Actually hard to say and depends much on the map. Generally if a map is rich of coal but poor on oil it is a bad choice to create solid fuel. With 25MJ solid fuel has more then three times the fuel value of coal, but there is only the need of mining drills to get coal while there has to be build [[Pumpjack]]s, [[Oil refinery]]s and [[Chemical plant]]s for creating solid fuel and maybe cracking oil.

Cracking heavy oil to light oil before processing to solid fuel has a better ratio of 2:1.5 instead of the normal 2:1 of heavy oil.

Solid fuel is a kind of fuel and is processed in a chemical plant. One unit of solid fuel contains 12MJ of energy, three times the energy value of coal.

Besides being useful as fuel in all burner devices, solid fuel is also used to produce rocket fuel, which is a component of rocket parts built in the rocket silo.

Recipes

Solid Fuel can be created from heavy oil, light oil or petroleum gas. Light oil has the best oil to solid fuel ratio (10:1). Cracking heavy oil to light oil first changes the ratio for heavy oil to 13:1 (from 20:1).

On Aquilo, the ammonia recipe is by far the most efficient. With no productivity bonus, optimally converting the products of advanced oil processing to solid fuel will result in needing approximately 10.55 crude oil per solid fuel, whereas solid fuel from ammonia needs only 6 crude oil per solid fuel.

Solid fuel is also obtained from recycling scrap, which can be mined on Fulgora.

  • 0.17.0:
    • Relative value of solid fuel decreased by 4%.
  • 0.15.0:
    • Fuel type now affects vehicle acceleration and top speed.
