Efficient Crude Distillation Tower + Steam Cracker Tutorial

The Steam Cracker received a rework in version 0.6.0, no longer being a one-kick-kill like the Chemical Reactor used to be.

The current Steam Cracker can obtain up to 87.5% Heavy Steam Cracking output + 17.5% Light Steam Cracking output at LV.

And what's the catch? It needs to run continuously, has an extremely slow startup, and if paused or interrupted, it immediately drops back to a pathetic 40% yield.

This tutorial provides a simple and efficient distillation tower construction plan for your reference.

First, place the Steam Cracker like this, with two steam fluid output hatches and one steam fluid input hatch on the right, a heat exchanger hatch in the middle, and a steam input hatch on the left, connected to steam.

Just follow the picture, place the primitive distillation tower

Build the cooling section on top

Front output and collection section

Important! The fluid calibrator here must be set correctly!

Then place the drawers, the copper upgrade doesn't have to be full

Finally, let's do the power consumption part. Note that the heat probe cover plate is to the left of the left heater. The front of both heaters can face right or face each other, as long as the machine control cover plate is not placed on the front. This setup consumes power constantly, so the expert's fuel-saving power generation shutdown device won't save much electricity, only a tiny bit. It is recommended not to build it.

And that's it, you're done.
