Brandstof

Brandstof kan toegevoegd worden aan brander apparaten om ze te laten werken. Verschillende soorten brandstof leveren verschillende hoeveelheden energie welke wordt berekend in megajoules (MJ).

Soorten

Dit is een lijst van alle producten die gebruikt kunnen worden in brander apparaten, in volgorde van energie productie:

Item	Energie waarde	Energie waarde per onbewerkte product	Energie waarde per stapel	Voertuig acceleratie	Voertuig topsnelheid	Maximale snelheid locomotief
Hout	2 MJ	2 MJ per houtblok	200 MJ	100%	100%	259.2 km/h (72 m/s)1
Steenkool	4 MJ	4 MJ per kool	200 MJ	100%	100%	259.2 km/h (72 m/s)
Vaste brandstof	12 MJ	0.96 MJ per eenheid van ruwe olie2	600 MJ	120%	105%	272.2 km/h (~75.6 m/s)
Raketbrandstof	100 MJ	0.8 MJ per eenheid van ruwe olie2	1 GJ	180%	115%	298.1 km/h (83 m/s)
Kernbrandstof	1.21 GJ	9.68 MJ per eenheid van ruwe olie2 1.21 GJ per Uranium-235	1.21 GJ	250%	115%	298.1 km/h (83 m/s)
Uranium-brandstofcel	8 GJ3	507 MJ per uranium ore4	400 GJ	Unusable	Unusable	Unusable

⁽¹⁾ For the purposes of in-game speed display, the game assumes 1 tile = 1 meter. I.e., a train on basic fuel travels at 72 tiles per second at full speed, and so on.

⁽²⁾ This assumes the crude oil is processed completely into solid fuel using advanced oil processing and heavy oil cracking as intermediate steps, but not light oil cracking. More efficient methods are possible. In practice, the petroleum gas is more likely to be used for something other than solid fuel.

⁽³⁾ This fuel type can only be used in a nuclear reactor. Unlike other fuel types, it cannot be placed into standard burners.

⁽⁴⁾ Assuming that all U-238 is enriched, all used up cells are reprocessed, and there is no reactor neighbor bonus.

Consumptie

The following formula can be used to find how long a fuel will last in a device: Burn time (s) = Fuel value (MJ) ÷ Energy consumption (MW)

Trivia

• Though the top speeds given by solid fuel, rocket fuel and nuclear fuel are presented as +5%, +15% and +15% respectively, this seems to only be true for trains. The top speeds for cars and tanks are instead approximately +9.5%, +34% and +58% respectively when these fuels are used.
