Turbofuel

Turbofuel is an improved version of mixed with.

Unlocking
Its recipe is unlocked exclusively as an alternate recipe. The default recipe and Turbo Heavy Fuel will only appear in the selection if is already unlocked.

Alternate recipes analysis
The following shows different ways to produce 1 m of Turbofuel / second, or 60 :
 * Weighted Point is the weighted consumption rate which is calculated by: . The lower the better.
 * Energy per item can be used to measure how much power is consumed for the entire production chain. The lower the better.
 * Space refers to building space, excluding belts and pipes. The lower the better.
 * Energy for sinking byproducts are considered, assuming using Conveyor Belt Mk.4.
 * Fuel is assumed to be produced via Diluted Fuel alternate recipe.
 * As 1 m of Turbofuel contains 2000 MJ, subtracting its manufacturing energy will show the net energy gain.

Fuel vs Turbofuel Efficiency
Using the Turbo Blend Fuel and Diluted Fuel recipes (math check required. Possibly wrong info)


 * 1m Heavy Oil Residue creates 1m Turbofuel, or 2000 MJ
 * 1m Heavy Oil Residue creates 2m Fuel, or 1,500 MJ

This makes Fuel 75% as efficient as Turbofuel, at the cost of valuable Sulfur.

The maximum obtainable Turbofuel throughput is 13,680m/min (limited by Sulfur extraction)


 * Consumes 10,260m/min Crude Oil
 * Consumes 6,840/min Sulfur


 * Fuels 3,040 Fuel Generators, for 456,000 MW

The equivalent power production requires 36,480m/min Fuel


 * Consumes 13,680m/min Crude Oil
 * Consumes 0 Sulfur
 * Fuels 3,040 Fuel Generators, for 456,000 MW

Therefore


 * 6,840/min Sulfur : 3,420m/min Crude Oil
 * 4/min Sulfur : 3m/min Crude Oil
 * 2.28 Sulfur WP : 1 Crude Oil WP

Turning Fuel into Turbofuel is more than twice the weighted cost, and ill advised late game.

Tips

 * Two Turbofuel power setup tutorials are available, see Fuel Generator for a generalized setup or Tutorial:How to play for a specific detailed setup.

History

 * Patch 0.4.0.0: Introduced Turbo Blend Fuel alternate recipe
 * Patch 0.3.3.2: New icon for Turbofuel
 * Patch 0.3:
 * Now a liquid
 * Loading a save created before Patch 0.3 would convert Turbofuel items to Packaged Turbofuel
