Player Tips & Tricks

X-ray Cracking directly converts 1 Refined Oil into 1 Energetic Graphite and 1 Hydrogen
- A single refinery configured to refine Crude Oil into Refined Oil and Hydrogen can fuel 2 refineries using X-ray Cracking (Tech), for a total of 3 refineries.
  - This 3 refinery setup has a total output of 15 Energetic Graphite/minute and 30 Hydrogen/minute

The output of X-ray Cracking directly aligns with the requirements to create Energy Matrix.
- It is not recommended to use X-ray Cracking outside of this purpose as there are other, simpler, sources of both Hydrogen and Energetic Graphite.

X-ray Cracking creates a self-contained loop and only requires Refined Oil to function
- The Hydrogen generated via X-ray Cracking can fuel the refineries used for X-ray Cracking infinitely with access to only Refined Oil
  - This method requires Hydrogen to be manually added to the refinery to kick-start the process, but will then be fully automated. Simply ensure the Hydrogen output comes before the input on the same overall output belt.

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 power as there are many other simpler methods to do so.

-* A setup of three oil refineries, one refining [[Crude Oil]] into [[Refined Oil]] and [[Hydrogen]] feeding into the other two refineries using [[X-ray Cracking (Tech)]] to process the former products into [[Energetic Graphite]] and Hydrogen can consume 30 Crude Oil to produce a net 30 Energetic Graphite and 45 Hydrogen per minute.
