[[Basic oil processing]] has the perfect output ratio for Flamethrower ammo (1 light : 1 heavy), so a refinery can be dedicated to producing it, generating excess [[Petroleum gas]].
[[Basic oil processing]] has the perfect output ratio for flamethrower ammo (1 light oil : 1 heavy oil), so a refinery can be dedicated to producing it, generating excess [[Petroleum gas]]. Since the chemical plant produces faster than the refinery, it will not produce ammo the entire time.
 
The time ratio will starve the Chemical Plant, but that's okay since you need to buffer personal ammunition production anyways. Limiting the output chest to 2 or 3 stacks on a singleplayer world would be prudent.

Flamethrower ammo/infobox

This ammunition is used for the Flamethrower. Currently this is the only available type of flamethrower ammunition.

Production

File:Perfect Flamethrower Ammo.png
The refinery is running basic oil processing and its heavy and light oil outputs are directly connected to a chemical plant producing flamethrower ammo.

Basic oil processing has the perfect output ratio for flamethrower ammo (1 light oil : 1 heavy oil), so a refinery can be dedicated to producing it, generating excess Petroleum gas. Since the chemical plant produces faster than the refinery, it will not produce ammo the entire time.
