'''Animal Feed''' is primarily used by the [[Chicken Farm]] at the rate of 0.036 per minute per chicken, though it can also substitute for Coal in a [[Boiler (Coal)]] at a rate of 72 Animal Feed per boiler. While a trickle of Animal Feed is generated as a byproduct of food processing, large quantities of Animal Feed can be made in a [[Mixer]] from {{infoicon|Corn}}, {{infoicon|Wheat}}, {{infoicon|Potato}} and {{infoicon|Soybean}}, with Corn being the most farm-efficient source, Wheat and Potatoes tied with each other, and Soybean being the least farm-efficient source of Animal Feed.

Chilled Water

SillySMS: Made the second paragraph slightly less confusing.

{{Infobox material

{{stub}}
'''Chilled Water''' is a crafted resource obtained by passing {{infoicon|Water}} through a [[Water Chiller]]. Its sole purpose is cooling of [[Data Center]]s, which consume the Chilled Water at a rate of {{time|0.5|60}} per [[Basic Rack]] and output {{infoicon|Water}} at the same rate. Currently, one Water Chiller provided with 6.0 extra Water per minute will exactly match a full Data Center.

Much like {{infoicon|Steam Hi}}, '''Chilled Water''' can NOT be stored in a [[Fluid Storage]] [<nowiki/>[[Fluid Storage II|II]] • [[Fluid Storage III|III]] • [[Fluid Storage IV|IV]]]. Currently the best way to store '''Chilled Water''' would be in long pipe sections and pipe junctions.

Arc Furnace II

2022-09-20T17:07:36Z

SillySMS: Replaced outdated/incorrect information, and pointed out that even when powered by coal boilers, arc furnaces are still less coal-hungry than blast furnaces.

{{Infobox machine
| Name = Arc Furnace II
| Tier = 2
| Description = This furnace has a cooling system to safely reach higher operating temperatures. This provides increased throughput and an opportunity to reuse some of the excess heat. Power requirements are increased as well.

}}
An '''Arc Furnace II''' is a direct upgrade from the [[Arc Furnace]] machine. It carries twice the {{infoicon|Worker|ui-yes}} and {{infoicon|Electricity}} requirement in addition to {{infoicon|Water}}, some of which can be recovered by passing the byproduct {{infoicon|Steam Lo}} through [[Cooling Tower]]s. In exchange, it doubles throughput of {{infoicon|Silicon (Poly)|text=Silicon}} smelting without increasing the need for {{infoicon|Coal}} or {{infoicon|Graphite}}.

Additionally, it incorporates smelting recipes for {{infoicon|Iron Ore Crushed}}, {{infoicon|Copper Ore Crushed}}, and {{infoicon|Glass Mix}} similar to those available in the [[Blast Furnace II]] which make it possible to replace all Blast Furnace II machines on the island. These recipes switch 15 Coal for 12 Water and 3 Graphite (plus 4 Tflop and 1.4 MW power consumption), whilst generating 12 Steam Lo and reducing {{infoicon|Exhaust}} output by 24/min. Assuming that all Graphite is made from Coal and {{infoicon|Chlorine}}, this amounts to a 90% reduction in Coal usage.

While [[Nuclear Reactor|Nuclear Reactors]], [[Solar Panel|Solar Panels]], or [[Solar Panel (Mono)|Solar Panels (Mono)]] are strongly recommended for powering the Arc Furnace II, [[Boiler (Coal)]] is still a viable option. Even with coal power, overall Coal usage still drops by 22.8-32.8% relative to a Blast Furnace II, depending on how efficiently the Steam Lo byproduct is used. Similarly, Exhaust drops by 0.84-3.84 per furnace.

Water Pollution

SillySMS: Initial description of water pollution.

{{Infobox material
| Name = Water Pollution
| Type1 = Crafted material
| Type2 = Pollution
| State = Virtual
}}
{{stub}}
{{under construction}}
'''Water Pollution''' is exclusively created by the Liquid Dump, and reduces {{infoicon|Health}} by 1 for every 10 Water Pollution released per month. Unlike [[Air Pollution]], Water Pollution can be entirely eliminated by the mid-game. Fertilizer and {{infoicon|Acid}} can be managed simply by not making more than is required, [[Sour Water]] can be treated in a [[Sour Water Stripper]], and both {{infoicon|Waste Water}} and {{infoicon|Toxic Slurry}} can be rendered harmless in a [[Wastewater Treatment]].{{recipe fetch|dir=out}}

Air Pollution

2022-09-20T15:48:15Z

SillySMS: Made a proper description.

{{Infobox material
| Name = Air Pollution
| Type1 = Pollution
| State = Virtual
}}
{{stub}}
'''Air Pollution''' is produced by the [[Smoke Stack]], [[Smoke Stack (Large)]], [[Flare]], [[Burner (Solid)]] and [[Exhaust Scrubber]]. Every 20 units of Air Pollution released per month reduces {{infoicon|Health}} by 1. Most sources of Air Pollution can be eliminated, although {{infoicon|Exhaust}} cannot be rendered completely harmless, as the [[Exhaust Scrubber]] releases 24 units of raw Air Pollution per 180 [[Exhaust]]. Additionally, permanently sustainable factories which cannot dump {{infoicon|Waste}} must instead use a [[Burner (Solid)]], producing 0.5 units of Air Pollution per [[Waste]].{{under construction}}

Assembly V

2022-09-20T15:39:57Z

SillySMS: Moderate edits; mentioned change from T2 to T3 maintenance and clarified that the T2 robotic assembler lacks many recipes, not just construction parts.

{{Infobox machine
| Name = Assembly (Robotic) II
| Tier = 5
| Description = Robotic assembly that is faster and can produce more advanced products.

}}
{{outdated}}

The '''Assembly (Robotic) II''' is the Tier 5 variant of the [[Assembly (Robotic)]]. Compared to its predecessor, most recipes have 100% higher throughput at the expense of a 60% higher {{infoicon|Electricity}} draw (50W vs 80W), and a 50% higher {{infoicon|Computing|new=yes}} requirement (4 vs 6 TFlops). The most significant drawback is likely the change from {{infoicon|Maintenance II}} to {{infoicon|Maintenance III}}. Also note that the recipes for {{infoicon|Construction Parts IV}} and {{infoicon|Solar Cell}} have only a 50% speed increase; these may not be worth upgrading from an [[Assembly (Robotic)]].

It also has a very limited selection of recipes compared to its predecessors; check before upgrading an existing [[Assembly (Robotic)]]! Most recipes this building does have are related to electronics and solar panels.

Exhaust

2022-09-18T23:55:26Z

SillySMS:

{{Infobox material

| Type1 = Crafted material

| State = Fluid

{{stub}}
{{under construction}}
'''Exhaust''' is a polluting byproduct of many high-temperature processes, including all furnaces, all [[Boiler (Coal)]] recipes, most [[Boiler (Gas)]] recipes and a few other buildings. When released via a [[Smoke Stack]] or [[Smoke Stack (Large)]], each unit of Exhaust produces 0.5 points of [[Air Pollution]]. The [[Exhaust Scrubber]] ameliorates this pollution and produces potentially useful {{infoicon|Sulfur}}, {{infoicon|Carbon Dioxide}} and {{infoicon|Steam Lo}} byproducts. However, the [[Exhaust Scrubber]] still emits 0.133 points of [[Air Pollution]] per unit of Exhaust; thus, no factory can completely eliminate [[Air Pollution]].

SillySMS: Initial description of exhaust.

Graphite

2022-09-18T23:34:49Z

SillySMS: Extended the discussion of its use in arc furnaces to replace blast furnaces, including a note that one still saves coal and reduces exhaust when powering T2 arc furnaces with coal boilers.

{{Infobox material
| Name = Graphite
| Type1 = Crafted material
| State = Unit
}}
{{outdated}}
{{stub}}
'''Graphite''' is a crafted material used exclusively in the [[Arc Furnace]] and [[Arc Furnace II]] to produce {{infoicon|Molten Iron}}, {{infoicon|Molten Copper}}, {{infoicon|Molten Glass}}, and {{infoicon|Molten Silicon}}. It is made from {{infoicon|Coal}} at a 1:2 ratio. When used in an [[Arc Furnace II]] to replace a [[Blast Furnace II]], this reduces direct {{infoicon|Coal}} consumption by at least 90%; note, however, that {{infoicon|Molten Silicon}} always requires both {{infoicon|Coal}} and Graphite.

Even when using [[Boiler (Coal)]] to power the notoriously power-hungry arc furnaces, overall {{infoicon|Coal}} usage still drops by 22.8-32.8% (depending on how efficiently the [[Steam Lo]] energy is utilized). Similarly, total {{infoicon|Exhaust}} drops by 0.84 to 3.84 per furnace; thus, it is often beneficial to switch to the [[Arc Furnace II]] even if only coal power is available.

In order to produce Graphite directly from {{infoicon|Carbon Dioxide}} you will need the "CO2 Recycling" research, which requires [[Research Lab V]]. Unfortunately, once all blast furnaces have been converted, it is unlikely your factory will produce enough {{infoicon|Carbon Dioxide}} to rely wholly on this recipe, though fortunately the [[Chemical Plant II]] has enough inputs to simultaneously run both the {{infoicon|Coal}} and {{infoicon|Carbon Dioxide}} recipes (presumably prioritizing the {{infoicon|Carbon Dioxide}} recycling recipe).

Sour Water Stripper

SillySMS: Made it clear that the sulfur mine is usually not the primary source of sulfur for most factories.

The '''Sour Water Stripper''' is the primary machine for processing [[Sour Water]] by-products created during the petrochemical refining chain. It is also the primary source of {{infoicon|Sulfur}} for most factories. Additional sources of {{infoicon|Sulfur}} include the [[Exhaust Scrubber]] and the [[Sulfur Mine]].

Note that as of {{version|ver=EA 0.4.1e}}, the in-game UI description for this building, at first glance, indicates that it produces {{infoicon|Acid}}, however this is potentially misleading as additional processing is required. To create Acid, process the {{infoicon|Sulfur}} output of this machine with {{infoicon|Water}} in a [[Mixer]].

Evaporation Pond

The '''Evaporation Pond''' is one of only two machines which can produce {{infoicon|Salt}}, a critical ingredient in {{infoicon|Glass Mix}} and a requirement to manufacture {{infoicon|Glass}}. The other is the [[Evaporation Pond (Heated)]] variant which carries a 50% higher {{infoicon|Worker|ui-yes}}, 50% higher [[Maintenance]], and an additional 60 KW {{infoicon|Electricity}} cost, but has twice the throughput. Compared to one [[Evaporation Pond (Heated)]], a pair of '''Evaporation Ponds''' consume two more {{infoicon|Worker|ui-yes}}, one additional [[Maintenance]] and a significant amount of space to save 60 kW of {{infoicon|Electricity}}.

Salt can be created using either {{infoicon|Seawater}} from a [[Seawater Pump]] or from the {{infoicon|Brine}} byproduct of a [[Thermal Desalinator]].
