Fuel Refinery

Refines coal + blaze powder + grid energy into pipeable liquid rocket fuel.

Overview#

The Fuel Refinery is the logistics-grade way to make rocket fuel. Instead of hand-crafting canisters, feed it raw coal (or charcoal), blaze powder and grid power, and it produces liquid Rocket Fuel in an internal tank that Universal Pipes can pull straight into a Fuel Tank or a padded rocket. It is craftable before your first launch.

Obtaining#

Craft (shaped):

N G N
N F N
N R N

N = Nerosteel Ingot · G = Glass · F = Furnace · R = Redstone

(Ingredients are tag-based, so other mods' iron-equivalent glass/redstone work too.)

How it works#

• Inputs: a carbon slot (coal or charcoal) and a catalyst slot (blaze powder). Hoppers and

  pipes feed them through the item capability — coal routes to carbon, blaze to catalyst automatically.

• Power: grid power only. It holds 40,000 FE and accepts up to 1,000 FE/tick. Feed it from a generator or Battery over

  Universal Pipes.

• Refining: one batch consumes 1 coal + 1 blaze powder + ~4,000 FE over ~100 ticks and yields

  2,000 mB of rocket fuel — the same fuel two hand-crafted canisters give, without the iron or the clicking.

• Output: the internal 8,000 mB tank exposes the fluid capability, so pipes carry the fuel away.

• Auto-push: it pushes up to 200 mB/t of fuel into any tank or pipe that touches it, by itself.

• Comparator: emits a redstone signal scaled to its fuel level.

fuelCostMultiplier scales the power use (FE/t) and machineSpeedMultiplier scales the cycle time. energyRateMultiplier does not apply. See Configuration.
