I'm not a big fan of this part of Bob's mods. This is the truth for pretty much all of bobs past the blue science pack stage anyways. Who wants to try to navigate all those intermediates on belts?

Here's how you win at oil. 1) find a large open area to do your layout. you want somewhere where you can expand 2 directions - my refineries are usually left-right and my chemical plants go from bottom to top. Here's a general screenshot.  2) make sure you spread out your heavy, light, and gas vertical lines. This is so you can run interconnects for your cracking (including water). 3) The reason you spread everything out is so you can easily expand your production.  4) Connect your refineries like this.  FART CANNON, HOW DO I STORE poo poo loving easy when you think about it - pumps.  The pump will keep pressure on whatever direction its facing. Here i have a buffer of heavy oil. all of the oil that is not pumped into this gets cracked to light. The heavy oil buffer feeds a lube oil buffer and other poo poo. once again, whatever is not pumped into storage in this setup goes to cracking. the horizontal line to the right before the bottom most pump is the connection to the cracking line. FART CANNON, HOW DO I CRACK poo poo the spread out design lets your easily connect the cracking stuff together. See the screenshot above. FART CANNON, I DONT GET THE STORAGE poo poo. CAN I USE CIRCUIT WIRE TO CONTROL THIS yeah but you don't really need to. here's how: 1) connect pump to tank with circuit wire 2) open the pump  3)click the open box under WIRE CONDITION and find the picture of the liquid you want to store. here we are storing light oil. 4) click the 0 and change it to the number you want the pump to turn on at. the tank stores 2500. I recommend something like 2450. 5) Click the decider and make it so the oil picture is less than the number.  you are done. it will now turn the pump on when oil in the tank is below 2450. The above design will only stop processing crude when the gas storage tanks are full. It will crack everything extra to gas and it is easily expandable for either more crude oil processing throughput or any material creation. Remember that part of the game is planning. Take time early on to design things and it will save you a lot of headache in the mid to late game. Fart Cannon fucked around with this message at 07:19 on Apr 17, 2016 |

 how do you ensure your lube oil has a buffer of heavy oil in case your oil income plummets?

cock hero flux posted:Does anyone actually use lube often enough to need more than a full storage tank in reserve? Depends on what mods you use, i'm trying out the factorio basics set and you use heavy oil, light oil, and lube oil in a lot of stuff
