Gas/Oil power is a form of power generated by using a CombustionTurbine to burn Gasoline produced by a Refinery. It is decent for starting up a base, it is quite cheap since it mainly requieres iron, copper and rubber to craft all the components and it produces enough power to power up a small base, producing power at a rate of around 65/Power Per Tick.
Gas Power Tutorial
For this tutorial, you will need the following:
>>>Raw material cost: 145 iron, 11 copper, 3 rubber, 1 sulfur
>2 Containers
>Wire
>Battery (or any way to startup the refinery and extractor)
First, find a Stone deposit to place the Extractor on. Make sure there are no other extractors on the same deposit within 50 studs of yours.
Place a container in front of the Extractor.
Place the Refinery in front of the previously placed Container.
Place the Filter in the front of the Refinery.
Configure the filter's filter property to "Gasoline"
Place a Container in front of the filter.
Place a CombustionTurbine on front of the container.
Place a PowerCell next to the CombustionTurbine.
Place a Wire connected to the PowerCell, the Refinery, the Extractor and the CombustionTurbine, to make sure it powers everything
If you did it right, your setup should look like the image on your right ------>
Now, to kickstart the process, place the Battery on the Wire.
Congratulations! You now have gas power!!!
Possible issues
- If your refinery stops working after rejoining your server, try placing another filter configured to petroleum, connect it to the refinery, then place a container connected to that filter, you can then add a faucet to remove any excess petroleum from that container PD: faucets will turn off when rejoining the server
- Do not put a filter when connecting the Oil container to the refinery, since the refinery won't be able to use the oil inside such container
- If the problem seems to be the oil extractor, try removing and placing the extractor again, since sometimes, when leaving and rejoining a planet, extractors will part shift, causing them to no longer being attached to a stone deposit/mountain, therefore causing them to not be able to mine Oil; to prevent part shifting completely, try separating your extractor systems, assembly lines, and other systems by using antennas and transporters instead of wire and chute systems PD: using wires chutes and pipes is completely fine while you don't connect everything in your base, specially every single extractor, with them.
