Suggestion: Oil Processing Chain including Distillation Tower, Cracker, Reformer, etc.

    Currently, I miss a detailed Oil Processing Chain, so I am suggesting one, which includes the GregTech Addon:



    List of Machines:


    Desalter: Cleans Oil through an emulsion with water
    Needs 12,8k EU at 128 EU/t and 1000 mB of water in the internal tank per operation


    GregTech's Distillation Tower: Converts Oil into different factions, recipe below replaces present oil recipe
    Needs 80k EU at 128 EU/t for operation


    Reformer: Reforms untreated Naptha into Petrol with a high octane number
    Needs 80k EU at 128 EU/t and 1000 mB of Hydrogen in the internal tank per operation


    Cracker: Converts Heavy Oil into Diesel and Diesel into Naphta
    Additionally, it outputs Hydrogen into its Internal tank
    Needs 48k EU at 128 EU/t per operation



    Processes:


    Desalter
    1 GregTech's Oil Cell -->> 1 Cleaned Oil Cell


    GregTech's Distillation Tower
    10 Cleaned Oil Cells -->> 5 Heavy Oil     Cells + 3 Diesel Cells + 2 Naphtha Cells


    Reformer
    1 Naphtha Cell -->> 1 Petrol Cell


    Cracker
    1 Heavy Oil Cell -->> 2 Diesel Cells + 1 Hydrogen Cell
    1 Diesel     Cell -->> 2 Naphta Cells + 1 Hydrogen Cell



    Petrol, Diesel and Heavy Oil (or the cells) are burnable in GregTech's Diesel Generator:
    Petrol: 750k EU at 12 EU/t per Cell
    Diesel: 840k EU at 12 EU/t per Cell
    Heavy Oil: 735k EU at 12 EU/t per Cell

    Personally, I love it. Although I might change the names a bit. This is much more realistic to life and, as long as the EU values are ever-improving, a good encouraging point to oil processing. I dream of the day of seeing a refinery crop up in my desert to handle my tanked 3562 buckets (no joke) of crude oil.

    Quoted from "zorn":
    People can't handle losing. Lots of new games are like this. My son's Lego games? You die and respawn on the spot, just lose a bit of money. It's made so that anyone can win, even the worst players. Like TE, or EU. They say that IC2 is 'keeping them from moving on' but can never say what that is. In reality they just failed, blew up a bunch of stuff, and their fragile egos couldn't take it so they gravitate towards mods designed to guarantee that you succeed.

    cool idea, but i think that you shouldn't be able to transform heavy oil into diesel.
    It should be used in a special boat or in a big multi block engine that runs long, but needs time to heat up.

    Ok, so some kind of stationary engine for the heavy oil.
    Maybe there should be specific engines also for petrol and diesel.
    Could imagine a path of upgrades, i.e. a turbocharger, intercooler, etc.


    What do you think?
    Thanks for answers
