User:Astropheus/Fuel vs Turbofuel, a discussion

IMPORTANT EDIT: I MEANT TO SAY DILUTED FUEL NOT TURBOFUEL

This is something I posted on the reddit, so if you find it there too, that's me.

A pure overclocked to 250% oil extractor makes 600/min 600CO/30CO=20 Refineries, so that's 400HO. It takes 50HO/min to make 100F(Fuel)/min 400/50=8 Blenders, so that's 800F/min

Now, a normal person who isn't heavily obsessed with optimising would use normal fuel. Eats 60CO/min to make 40F/min 600/60=10 Refineries, so that 400F/min. Diluting fuel makes DOUBLE as much as just doing it the basic way. Wow.

But what about the energy profit? If nothing but the Oil Extractors are overclocked, then for normal fuel making, it's:

10 Refineries each using 30MW 300MW. 1 Oil Extractor to 250% 134MW. Making stuff with Polymer Resin won't be accounted for. So it makes 400F/min, and fuel gens only use 12/m to make 150MW

This makes 5000MW. That is a total profit of 4566MW

If nothing but the Oil Extractors are overclocked, then for advanced fuel making, it's:

134MW for the Oil Extractor at 250%. 8 Water Extractors made to extract 100 water/min for simplicity is 15.7MW per, so 125.6MW. 8 Blenders making fuel is 75MW per, so 600MW. 20 Refineries making heavy oil is 30MW per, so 600MW.

800F/min while only eating 12F/min, makes 10000MW! 600+600+125=1325MW eaten total 10kMW-1325MW=8675MW profit!

Now, just imagine the turbofuel!

TL;DR: Diluted fuel makes nearly double the power output after calculating the total power use. Discussion of my post is advised, and I want to see if I made any errors!
