Player Tips & Tricks
- X-ray Cracking with refineries directly converts 1 Refined Oil into 1 Energetic Graphite and 1 Hydrogen
- 1 refinery configured to refine Crude Oil into Refined Oil and Hydrogen can fuel 2 refineries using X-ray Cracking (Tech) if the Hydrogen produced is cycled back into the X-ray Cracking process.
- A typical X-ray Cracking setup (3 refineries total) produces a total of 15 Energetic Graphite/minute and 30 Hydrogen/minute.
- The output of X-ray Cracking directly aligns with the requirements to create Energy Matrix, and is the primary purpose.
- It is not recommended to use X-ray Cracking outside of this purpose as there are simpler, more power efficient ways to obtain Hydrogen and Energetic Graphite directly.
- The products of X-Ray Cracking (3 total refineries) have a total energy of (6.3 MJ/Energetic Graphite * 30 Energetic Graphite/min) + (8 MJ/Hydrogen * 45 Hydrogen/min) = 549 MJ/min = 9.15 MJ/s = 9.15 MW
- Given that this setup consumes only 2.88 MJ, plus (18kW * 11 Sorter Mk.I) = 0.198 MW (one sorter per input/output), and an additional 0.84 MW for the oil extractor (which can be spread across multiple triplicates of refineries), this is an energy positive process.
- It is not recommended to use X-ray Cracking to generate sustainable power due to the limited nature of Crude Oil when Thermal Power Stations are relevant.
