This is a simplified version of the table above that do the same calculations for Compacted Coal as input, so only 7.143 items per minute instead of 15 are needed.Įach Assembler operates at 25 parts per minute.īurning Petroleum Coke for power can be a great way to deal with Heavy Oil Residue, as long as overflow is handled (to prevent the Coke from backing up, which would result Heavy Oil Residue backing up and subsequently Plastic or Rubber production stopping). to calculate the net power produced.Ī 250% Miner on a Coal node can support the following number of Coal Generators operating at 100% power usage (decimal amounts of machines means that the last machine needs to be underclocked for maximum efficiency): After subtracting 10% from the gross Power, subtract the Power consumption from the Miners, Pipeline Pumps, vehicles, etc.

This can be useful early on when you still need to save up on energy consumption on Water Extractors. For eight Coal Generators you either need three Water Extractors at 100% (3 * 20 = 60 MW) or four Water Extractors at 75% (4 * 12.6 = 50.4 MW). Using Water Extractors underclocked to 75% require an additional extractor for every eight Coal Generators, trading space for ratio simplicity.That way, the number of Water Extractors is half the number of Coal Generators. Alternatively, underclock Water Extractors to 75% and connect each of them to exactly two Coal Generators.Thus, when connecting Water Extractors to a line feeding seven or more Coal Generators, Water inputs either need to be spaced out or be separated. Pipelines Mk.1 only have a capacity of 300 m 3/min.Coal burn time is four seconds, which means that a single Coal Generator consumes 15 Coal/min.Pipelines required = Coal generator / 6.6666 Spread out the water supply across multiple pipelines as following: Water extractor = Coal generator / 2.6666


This means 3 Water Extractors will produce enough water for 8 Coal Generators, provided the 300 m 3/min throughput limit of the Mk.1 Pipeline isn't exceeded (see below for a layout of possible setups which don't exceed the Pipeline limit). At 100% clock speed, one Coal Generator consumes 45 m 3 Water/min, no matter what fuel is used.
