#Oil products and ethylene + polyethylene if you're using benzene

Or you could just do the full benzene processing line which gives ethylene anyway from wood gas

spice raven
#

what more is there

#

do you mean splitting it into the 3 wood fluids

#

from the pyro or whatever

#

it's less efficient for energy used per benzene produced iirc

#

not something you want for your powergen

clever salmon
#

From pyrolyse/ICO, make charcoal byproducts and fully process that

The benzene itself is used for power

spice raven
#

if you're using wood tar it's less efficient powergen

clever salmon
#

But if you can get a bunch of byproducts for a little more extra power it's very much worth it

#

The only thing that makes the powergen "less efficient" is the extra step of distilling charcoal byproducts

#

But it gives you so many extra chemicals it is more than worth it

#

One of the reasons I like using benzene is all the extra chemicals you get from it

#

You can source almost all the chemicals you need just by doing the full charcoal processing

#

The only thing you don't get is butadiene which is rarely used

#

direct into wood gas is 40.9kEU per 1.5kL of wood tar

clever salmon
#

I am not arguing with you about the energy efficiency

spice raven
#

i'm not saying that

#

yeah actually

#

you are right

#

damn

clever salmon
#

I am saying that the minuscule cost in energy efficiency is more than made up for by the extra byproducts

spice raven
#

though how are the other byproducts actually useful

#

you gotta explain to me what you get out of wood vinegar that's useful

clever salmon
#

They're like all used in various things

spice raven
#

maybe actone and water if you somehow don't have infinite

clever salmon
#

How are you IV without knowing about infinite water

spice raven
#

i know how to get infinite water

#

i'm saying maybe it's useful if you somehow DON'T

#

though i think you're right if they actually have random uses

#

let me check

clever salmon
#

And reservoirs in HV

spice raven
#

yes i know about that

#

you get this later

#

but actually what you're saying does make sense

clever salmon
#

You don't even need the everfull urn once you get reservoir hatches

#

I just have a fluid storage bus on one and have infinite water anywhere I want it

spice raven
#

so is everfull urn

#

ae2 connects it just fine

#

you get an everfull urn from a random quest

#

literally free
