#05: The Oil Operation
Setting up a comprehensive oil refinery is a daunting task; there is a lot of liquids and products to work with when dealing with crude oil. I'm looking at setting up a storage area with fluid tanks for the important liquids: petroleum gas, heavy oil, light oil, lubricant, and sulfuric acid; then there's the oil refineries in themselves, turning the crude into petro, heavy, and light; then we've got to process the heavy oil, which can be turned into lubricant and later on cracked into light oil, and the light oil can be turned into solid fuel or cracked into petroleum gas; the gas is used for creating sulfur, and the sulfur is then turned into sulfuric acid; finally there's plastic, which uses coal and petroleum. It's enough to make anyone's head spin.
In addition to all of that, I also want to make a four-lane liquid bus for transporting the finalized liquid products throughout the factory for other recipes. Once the entire line is finally done, I'm ready to begin working on a setup for blue science, which requires both plastic bars (for advanced circuits) and sulfuric acid (for batteries). Phew!

ABOUT THIS SERIES:
I'm a new player to Factorio, having recently picked it up with the Steam Release of the game. I have completed the campaigns and finished a single freeplay game by launching my first rocket, but beyond that I'm still green. In this series I hope to expand my skills and knowledge of the game as much as possible, exploring all the technologies, and pushing the limits of what I can do in it. Seeing as how Factorio is a pretty slow-paced game, the footage is sped up to 3x normal speed with post-commentary.
ABOUT THE GAME:
Factorio is an early access game that has recently released on Steam, but it has been in development for the past four years by the Wube Software team. This is a game about gathering resources to research technology, craft machines, process materials, and defend your base against angry biters, but this isn't just another survival/crafting game... no no! The name of the game is 'automation', and Factorio is all about finding ways to engineer solutions to your ever expanding horizons. We don't do manual labor here; instead we use our creative problem-solving skills to design a factory to do all the hard work for us.
