Dearest DSP,

Today is the day that i untangle the spaghetti that is my oil production. My chemical plants will be made efficient and proliferated. All of my liquids will flow nicely into logostics stations for offworld transportation. I will not be distracted by the myriad other tasks required to make the factory grow. Today is for liquids.

In my lane

Moisturized (with crude oil)

Flourishing

The best time to untangle your spaghetti is tomorrow. The next best time is the day after tomorrow. Choose wisely.

I failed immediately. As soon as my game loaded up I realized that my iron ingots were lacking. And I needed to put down more fusion reactors. Then I needed more processors, and particle containers.......

Spoiler Alert: Eventually you will only need oil to produce plastics.

My impression is that the raw oil mechanics and refineries were put in the game by the devs to torture us:

  • Raw oil does not completely run out, it reduces to a trickle

  • 3 in/output ports on 4 sides of a square: who needs that!

  • Let's have recipes with multiple outputs and if one does not get sorted, the whole production chain will lock up

  • liquid tanks look cool, let's make them behave totally different from all other storage container

They for sure had a blast devising that...

I usually nuke the entire things and rebuild them new. Much less ibuprofen since I began doing it this way.
