Object description

Refined flammables (research) affects the damage of all flammables, including handheld flamethrower ammo and flamethrower turrets.

Technology	Cost	Per level	Cumulative
1 Refined flammables 1	30 1 1 1 ✖ 100	20%	20%
2 Refined flammables 2	30 1 1 1 ✖ 200	20%	40%

7-∞ Refined flammables 7-∞	60 1 1 1 1 1 1 ✖ 2^(Level-7)*1000 (eg. 1000 for level 7, 2000 for level 8)	20% per level	180% + 20%*(Level-7)

In Space Age, level 6 of the tech also requires space science and the infinite tech requires agricultural science pack, but everything else is unchanged.

Thresholds

Note: The values in this table are conservative estimates. The flamethrower turret stream also ignites ground fire and applies a fire sticker that deal additional damage over time; actual fluid consumed to kill an enemy is typically less than shown. The table below shows the fluid units consumed by a flamethrower turret to destroy each enemy at each level of Refined flammables (research). Two fluids are compared: crude oil (base) and light oil (10% more damage per stream pulse).

Note: Values account for direct stream damage only (3 fire damage per pulse, 15 pulses per second). Fire sticker and ground fire deal additional damage over time, so actual fluid consumed is typically less than shown.
