Crude Oil

'''Crude Oil''' is a liquid product. It can be obtained by building [[Oil Pump]]s on your island, or imported on cargo ships through either [[Oil Rig]]s or [[trade]] deals.

In the beginning, Crude Oil can only be refined using a [[Basic Distiller]].

After Advanced Diesel is researched, {{Variants|Distillation|Stage I|Stage II}} can be built. This method of processing oil is entirely superior, producing more {{infoicon|Diesel}}, using less energy, producing less overall pollution, and creating waste products that are easier to refine into useful substances through a [[Sour Water Stripper]].

The '''Cargo Ship''' is an automated vehicle which transports resources from [[World Map/Map Locations|Map Locations]] to the [[Home Island]].

There are two ways to acquire these ships:

* Four [[Damaged Cargo Ship]]s are present and discoverable on the world map. They can be claimed and repaired by having the main ship bring resources to them. See the table below.
* One [[Villages|Village]] sells additional Cargo Ships in exchange for [[Construction Parts III]]. This can be performed repeatedly without limit.

A cargo ship's size and cargo capacity are automatically determined by its assigned [[Cargo Depot]], and the Cargo Modules installed there.

Cargo ships require fuel to operate. They can be set to run on {{infoicon|Diesel}}, {{infoicon|Heavy Oil}}, or {{infoicon|Hydrogen}}. Converting between {{infoicon|Diesel}} to {{infoicon|Heavy Oil}} does not cost anything. Converting from either {{infoicon|Diesel}} or {{infoicon|Heavy Oil}} to {{infoicon|Hydrogen}} fuel requires 180x {{infoicon|Electronics}} and 180x {{infoicon|Steel}}. Converting from {{infoicon|Hydrogen}} to either {{infoicon|Diesel}} or {{infoicon|Heavy Oil}} requires 100x {{infoicon|Mechanical Parts}} and 100x {{infoicon|Steel}}. The conversion cost is the same for all ship sizes. Converting fuel types to or from {{infoicon|Hydrogen}} requires the ship to leave the map which can not be performed while it is actively unloading. During any type of conversion, the contents (if any) of the cargo ship are not lost. Converting between {{infoicon|Diesel}} and {{infoicon|Heavy Oil}} does not require leaving the map (it also does not require any cost).

The amount of fuel used is dependent on the number of cargo modules built, the capacity of the section on the cargo ship, and the "Save Fuel" setting (the table below assumes all possible modules are built). The time required is dependent on the "Save Fuel" setting. The table below does not include this extra time and is the time taken from the edge of the map. The workers needed to operate the ship are determined by the size of the ship (and thus the size of the Cargo Depot -- regardless of the number and size of modules built). Note that the cargo modules also require workers based on their number and size. Both time and fuel are per trip, regardless of the ship's destination on the world map.

If a Cargo Depot is upgraded or downgraded, the assigned ship will automatically sail off the map, change size to match the new depot, and return. Unlike all other sailing actions, this happens even if the cargo ship is Paused, has no crew, or has no fuel.

'''Molten Silicon''' is an intermediate [[:Category:Molten products|molten product]] with the sole purpose of being cast into {{infoicon|Silicon (Poly)}} in a [[Silicon Reactor]]. It is produced by either smelting {{infoicon|Sand}}, {{infoicon|Coal}}, and {{infoicon|Graphite}} in a [[Arc Furnace]], or by smelting the previous ingredients plus {{infoicon|Water}} in an [[Arc Furnace II]].

The creation of Molten Silicon generates a substantial amount of {{infoicon|Slag}}. Casting it into Silicon (Poly) also requires the addition of {{infoicon|Hydrogen}}.

Population health represent the health of you colonist with various factors determining how healthy they are. When the population is healthy, they continue to grow at a pace 0.01% for each 10 health. Meaning a colony with 20 health will grow 0.02% every month. Negative health leads to death of the colonists at -0.10% for each -1 health, e.g. at -3 health, your colony will lose 0.30% of your colonists each month.

The Health also provides a {{infoicon|Unity}} Bonus or Penalty. The bonus is "0.0195 × Health + 0.2" when Health is positive, and the penalty is "-0.0195 × Health" when Health is negative.

The further you explore the map, the more severe diseases you will encounter, as your [[The Ship|ship]] brings them back to your colony. It seems that visiting other colonies triggers this. On average, you colony will experience disease outbreak every 2-3 years.

Health

Oniow: /* Negative health factors */

{{stub}}

Population health represent the health of you colonist with various factors determining how healthy they are. When the population is healthy, they continue to grow at a pace 0.01% for each 10 health. Meaning a colony with 20 health will grow 0.02% every month. Negative health leads to death of the colonists at -0.10% for each -1 health, e.g. at -3 health, your colony will lose 0.30% of your colonists each month.

The Health also provides a {{infoicon|Unity}} Bonus or Penalty. The bonus is "0.0195 × Health + 0.2" when Health is positive, and the penalty is "-0.0195 × Health" when Health is negative.

The further you explore the map, the more severe diseases you will encounter, as your [[The Ship|ship]] brings them back to your colony. It seems that visiting other colonies triggers this. On average, you colony will experience disease outbreak every 2-3 years.

{{Infobox material

{{stub}}
'''Radiation''' is a kind of pollution produced by overheated [[Nuclear Reactor|Nuclear Reactors]] ([[Nuclear Meltdown]]) or the open storage of [[Spent Fuel|spent radioactive fuel]]. Radiation can be avoided by properly storing spent fuel in a functioning [[Radioactive Waste Storage]] or reprocessing it. A nuclear meltdown, and subsequent radiation release, can be avoided by preventing reactor heat from maxing out which is usually caused by a overflow of [[Steam (High)]] or [[Steam (Super)]] and lack of cooling water.

Radiation will apply a large negative modifier to a settlement's [[Population|Growth]], potentially overcoming any positives (such as from Growth Boost [[Edicts]]) leading to the instant death of citizens.

The '''Nuclear Reactor''' is a machine which generates large amounts of {{infoicon|Steam Hi}} from {{infoicon|Water}} for use in generators by means of consuming {{infoicon|Uranium Rod|plural=s}}. The machine itself is self-sufficient with regards to power and requires no {{infoicon|Electricity}} from outside sources.

Power is generated by passing the output {{infoicon|Steam Hi}} though [[High-pressure Turbine]]s and [[Low-pressure Turbine]]s with their output shaft connected to [[Power Generator]]s, typically Tier 2 variants of each. A majority of the Water can subsequently be recovered for reuse using a [[Cooling Tower (Large)]].

== Heat Exchange ==
The reactor has two different systems: convert {{infoicon|Water}} into {{infoicon|Steam Hi}} and convert {{infoicon|Water}} into {{infoicon|Steam Depleted}}. The two grouped ports at the edge of the reactor are the main heat exchangers of the reactor. These ports are used to create the steam to run the turbines. The separate port on the main reactor building is used for emergency cooling in case the reactor overheats. This port will not provide steam under normal operations.

== Overheat ==
For operating Nuclear Reactors safely, it is important to supply {{infoicon|Water}} and consume {{infoicon|Steam Hi}} stably. If one of them is lacking, "Reactor Heat" will start increasing.

If the Reactor Heat reaches on the red marker in UI, the emergency cooling will start. However, when no water for the emergency cooling is stored or all is spent, the increasing reactor heat will not stop. Upon reaching maximum, the super heated reactor will go critical and release a very large amount of [[Radiation|radiation]], likely resulting in the deaths of many citizens.

Note that overheating does NOT alert you or stop the reactor until it reaches critical overheating.

The '''Flywheel''' is the machine that provides the sole means of storage of [[Mechanical Power]]. Its primary purpose is to provide smoothing of {{infoicon|Electricity}} requirements and/or to provide the player additional reaction time in case of a [[Wikipedia:Brownout (electricity)|brownout]]. While other methods of energy storage can be built, such as thermal energy storage systems in the form of {{infoicon|Steam Hi}} or {{infoicon|Steam (Low)}} in a [[Thermal Storage]], the Flywheel is currently the only machine which stores energy losslessly and with instant access.

Physically it features a longitudinal shaft connected through several large weighted wheels. Energy is thus stored as [[Wikipedia:Momentum|momentum]] as a product of their rotational speed and mass.

When the Flywheel's shaft is connected to both a generator and a turbine, it will consume any excess Mechanical Power which is not being used to generate Electricity up until it is fully charged or excess power disappears. At full charge, it is capable of storing 500 MW-seconds (500 MW-{{time|icononly=yes}}) worth of energy: more simply, 1 MW of output for 500 {{time|icononly=yes}}, 50 MW of output for 10 {{time|icononly=yes}}, or any other multiple thereof. When there is greater demand on the shaft for Electricity generation than is being provided by the generator, the Flywheel will donate its energy to provide the additional Mechanical Power needed.

Flare

The '''Flare''' is a machine designed to burn away unwanted flammable liquids. While every flammable liquid in the game can be flared, each of them can either be converted into useful materials with subsequent research or converted into {{infoicon|Electricity}} via [[Boiler (Gas)]] or [[Diesel Generator]].

Flaring petrochemical products (such as {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}}) produces the same amount of [[Air Pollution]] as burning the same product in a [[Boiler (Gas)]] (ignoring [[Exhaust Scrubber|scrubbing]] or [[Gas Injection Pump|gas injection]]). However, the latter also produces [[Steam (High)]] which can be used for various processes, including [[Distillation (Stage I)|oil refining]] and [[:Category:Power Production|power production]]. Thus, it is preferable to avoid flaring unless absolutely necessary to avoid bottlenecks.

==Historical notes==
Before the patch 0.4.0, the Flare had different appearance, occupied 3x3 tiles and had two inputs.

'''Medium Oil''' is a petrochemical [[:Category:Liquid products|liquid product]] produced when processing {{infoicon|Crude Oil}} in the [[Distillation (Stage I)]]. As Medium Oil cannot be [[Flare|flared]] nor [[Liquid Dump|dumped]], the only two potential uses for it are further processing in the [[Distillation (Stage II)]] to create {{infoicon|Light Oil}} and {{infoicon|Diesel}} or burning it in a [[Boiler (Gas)]] to generate {{infoicon|Steam Hi}}.

The former option is much more common as it allows for the potential production of {{infoicon|Rubber}} and {{infoicon|Plastic}}, if so desired, while producing the same amount of Steam Hi while reducing the overall {{infoicon|Air Pollution}} emitted. However, burning Medium Oil as in the latter option is a viable to reduce the complexity of power generation from petrochemical sources once the [[Exhaust Scrubber]] has been unlocked.

The '''Irrigated Farm''' is a direct upgrade of the [[Farm]] which allows for a {{infoicon|Water}} pipe connection in order to irrigate crops when there is insufficient rainfall to prevent growth stoppage. It should be noted that when compared to Farm, this variant has the same growth times and yield in each recipe, but effectively increases throughput by a variable amount due to preventing growth stoppage. It will still grow crops without an external Water source or when one runs dry, but these added benefits are lost. The Irrigated Farm can also apply {{infoicon|Fertilizer}} imported via either [[Vehicles]] or [[Pipe]] connection to replenish {{infoicon|Fertility|new=yes}}.

An '''Irrigated Farm''' needs to have at least 0.9 layers of {{infoicon|Dirt|ui=yes}} below each occupied tile, for one to be able to place the building.

The recipes assume that only a single crop is planted in the growth cycle, and that the fertility is set to 100%. The [[sugar cane]], [[fruits]], and [[poppy]], cannot be planted in the irrigated farm.

'''Acid''' is an intermediate [[:Category:liquid products|liquid product]] used in several production chains including {{infoicon|Hydrogen Fluoride}} and refining [[Silicon Wafer|Silicon Wafers]]. It can also be used in the production of {{infoicon|Glass Mix}} and the [[Electrolyzer|electrolysis]] of {{infoicon|Copper}} to increase the efficiency of its other constituent parts. While excess Acid can be dumped back into the sea, it is generally not advised as doing so generates a large amount of {{infoicon|Water Pollution}}.

The '''Boiler (Gas)''' is a machine which creates {{infoicon|Steam (High)}} from {{infoicon|Water}} using a variety of petrochemical fuel sources. This machine is most commonly used in the early game to reduce the consumption of {{infoicon|Coal}} by replacing [[Boiler (Coal)]] units and instead burning {{infoicon|Heavy Oil}}, {{infoicon|Naphtha}}, though there are additional options available with {{infoicon|Medium Oil}}, {{infoicon|Light Oil}}, and {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}}. In the mid-game, the machine is commonly seen in conjunction with petrochemical processing chains unlocked by the [[Advanced Diesel]] research.

It can also provide power from the burning of {{infoicon|Hydrogen}} sourced either from the breakdown of {{infoicon|Ammonia}} in an [[Electrolyzer]] or alternatively the splitting of {{infoicon|Water}} in the same. It should be noted that the latter method is a vastly inefficient power source and is net energy negative, but does create small amounts of Water as a byproduct if both [[Low-pressure Turbine]]s and [[Cooling Tower|Cooling Towers]] are used to recover the {{infoicon|Steam Depleted}}.

==Role in mid-game petrochemical chains==

Any {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}} remaining from conversion to {{infoicon|Diesel}} in the [[Cracking Unit]] and any {{infoicon|Naphtha}} left over from the production of {{infoicon|Rubber}} in the [[Rubber Maker]] need to be removed to prevent the refining system from idling when either output is full. Both products are typically diverted to generate {{infoicon|Electricity}} using this machine (via [[Steam (High)]] and [[High-Pressure Turbine]]). [[Flare|Flaring]] is an alternative disposal method for these byproducts. Flaring produces the same amount of [[Air Pollution]] per unit input as this machine, however it will not produce [[Steam (High)]] for use in refining, power generation, etc.

Any {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}} remaining from conversion to {{infoicon|Diesel}} in the [[Cracking Unit]] and any {{infoicon|Naphtha}} left over from the production of {{infoicon|Rubber}} in the [[Rubber Maker]] need to be removed to prevent the refining system from idling when either output is full. Both products are typically diverted to generate {{infoicon|Electricity}} using this machine (via [[Steam (High)]] and [[High-Pressure Turbine]]).

[[Flare|Flaring]] is an alternative disposal method for these byproducts. Flaring produces the same amount of [[Air Pollution]] per unit input as this machine, however it will not produce [[Steam (High)]] for use in refining, power generation, etc.

The '''Boiler (Gas)''' is a machine which creates {{infoicon|Steam (High)}} from {{infoicon|Water}} using a variety of petrochemical fuel sources. This machine is most commonly used in the early game to reduce the consumption of {{infoicon|Coal}} by replacing [[Boiler (Coal)]] units and instead burning {{infoicon|Heavy Oil}}, {{infoicon|Naphtha}}, though there are additional options available with {{infoicon|Medium Oil}}, {{infoicon|Light Oil}}, and {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}}. In the mid-game, the machine is commonly seen in conjunction with petrochemical processing chains unlocked by the [[Advanced Diesel]] research.

It can also provide power from the burning of {{infoicon|Hydrogen}} sourced either from the breakdown of {{infoicon|Ammonia}} in an [[Electrolyzer]] or alternatively the splitting of {{infoicon|Water}} in the same. It should be noted that the latter method is a vastly inefficient power source and is net energy negative, but does create small amounts of Water as a byproduct if both [[Low-pressure Turbine]]s and [[Cooling Tower|Cooling Towers]] are used to recover the {{infoicon|Steam Depleted}}.

Both products are typically diverted to generate {{infoicon|Electricity}} using this machine. While [[Flare|flaring]] is an alternative, it produces 25% more {{infoicon|Air Pollution}} for Naphtha (1.5 Air Pollution/unit vs 2.0 Air Pollution/unit) and 500% more for {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}} (1.0 vs 0.17/unit) than boiling it into Steam (High), even if the power production is wasted. Thus any excess Heavy Oil from the first boiler should be burned first, then any excess Fuel Gas from Diesel production, then any excess Naphtha from Rubber Production (or later, {{infoicon|Plastic}} or [[Diesel]] production).

==Role in mid-game petrochemical chains==
{{outdated}}
In mid-game petrochemical processing chains, this machine is often used to burn {{infoicon|Heavy Oil}} to generate {{infoicon|Steam (High)}} which feeds the refinery. One Boiler (Gas) burning Heavy Oil can generate sufficient Steam to fully supply up to two Distillation [[Distillation (Stage I)|Stage I]]'s, [[Distillation (Stage II)|Stage II]]'s, and [[Distillation (Stage III)|Stage III]]'s each plus one [[Sour Water Stripper]], leaving 5% leftover Heavy Oil to be disposed of. This arrangement would need to be initially [[Priming|primed]] using a Boiler (Coal) until sufficient Heavy Oil accumulates to power the Boiler (Gas) full-time at which point its supply can be removed, either by deprioritizing the input using a [[Pipe Balancer]], removing its {{infoicon|Water}} source, pausing it, or [[Deconstruction|deconstructing]] it.

Any {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}} remaining from conversion to {{infoicon|Diesel}} in the [[Cracking Unit]] and any {{infoicon|Naphtha}} left over from the production of {{infoicon|Rubber}} in the [[Rubber Maker]] need to be removed to prevent the refining system from idling when either output is full. Both products are typically diverted to generate {{infoicon|Electricity}} using this machine. While [[Flare|flaring]] is an alternative, it produces 25% more {{infoicon|Air Pollution}} for Naphtha (1.5 Air Pollution/unit vs 2.0 Air Pollution/unit) and 500% more for {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}} (1.0 vs 0.17/unit) than boiling it into Steam (High), even if the power production is wasted. Thus any excess Heavy Oil from the first boiler should be burned first, then any excess Fuel Gas from Diesel production, then any excess Naphtha from Rubber Production (or later, {{infoicon|Plastic}} or [[Diesel]] production).
