Oil Refinery

v5.1.0
Author: Calen

The Oil Refinery is my oldest complex. It's where I cut my teeth on modular building and transport design. I have been building this in a standardized way before even blueprints were added to the game!

Note: Included with these blueprints is a guide made of retaining walls. Don't actually build the guide, just use it to right-size your selected spot for the refinery.

Note: While the images show the full build of each module, I recommend that you start by only building the transport and storage for each module. Then you can build the buildings as needed. For example, at the beginning you will only need 2 distillation channels and one boiler. You can add distillation channels as needed, but you won't need the rest of the boilers until you install the water desalinization module.

Love the Blueprint! Any chance you add a straight section with a Large Vehicle Ramp crossing the Pipes/Belts?

Calen (edited)

Change Log v5.1.0 - Updated transport to work with other production centers as part of a wholistic Transport System. v5.0.3 - Added import priority for scrubber sulfur to sulfur balancer. Added 4th polymerization plant to Plastics Module. Added Claw Depot and other peripheral blueprints. v5.0.2 - Updated pipe connecting stage 3 to cargo depot pipe. v5.0.1 - Updated with new straight, right-turn, left-turn, and bridge transport blueprints. Thanks, Darius!

GambitFly

Fantastic thank you! The steam connection between stage 1 and stage 2 is missing but easy to add. Or maybe i just placed it wrong but anyway, the blueprint is awesome. Thank you!

Calen

@GambitFly - That's weird. It's there for me.

romonito

is somewhere the complete last stage blueprint?

PiggyWhiskey

Loving the layout. Would it be better to have the CO2 be converted to Graphite as a priority instead of consuming Coal/Chlorine? There's no real other use for CO2 except for Graphite

Borakk

Love it! could you please include a complete build for later stages of the game.

asodinis

Great build. Thanks you!!

This is fantastic. Thank you for sharing it.

Like all your other blueprints it is fantastic work - thank you. I may be doing something wrong, but I'm having to dump excess water.

TotenMann

Great design, however I needed to build a smoke stack before the scrubber because if you stock up on sulfur your plastic production stops

обновите до новой версии! (чертеж не работает, нельзя построить)

First of all, i want to gratulate for your work. Your blueprints are absolutely amazing! I'm using all of them. I have no idea how you had the patience for these extremely complex blueprints, guides, descriptions, etc. Awesome, and incredible! Thank you so much for your work!!! I found 3 bugs in the oil refinery blueprints. The first one is at stage 3. The generators have too long pipe connections to the left, had to correct manually. the second one is at stage 10. The pipes do not connect to the smoke stack. If u place it 1 to the right, it will be correct regardless of removing the smoke stack. (I built the whole refinery in one stage.) The last bug is at stage 12. The pipe can't connect to the sour water tank, i had to make it manually. Once again, thank all of your work, i hope we can count on you at update 3 too! :)
