Object description

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).

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

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.

History

• 2.0.24:
  • Solid fuel from ammonia cost and crafting time reduced: 6 crude oil instead of 20, 15 ammonia instead of 50, and 0.5 seconds instead of 1 second.

• 2.0.7:
  • Decreased the crafting time of solid fuel from 2 to 1.

• 0.17.0:
  • Relative value of solid fuel decreased by 4%.

• 0.15.0:
  • Fuel type now affects vehicle acceleration and top speed.

• 0.9.0:
  • Introduced
