The biofuel refinery is a production building that produces chemfuel from wood or non-hay raw food.
Acquisition[edit]
Biofuel refineries can be constructed once the biofuel refining research project has been completed. Each requires 150 Steel, 3 Components, 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder, and a construction skill of 4.
Once constructed, they cannot be re-installed, they can only be deconstructed.
Summary[edit]
While the refinery is selected, click "Bills" then "Add Bill" to add an order to produce chemfuel:
- Make chemfuel from wood: Turns
70 wood logs, worth 84 into 
35 chemfuel, worth 80.5. Takes 2,000 ticks (33.33 secs) of work, scaling with the General Labor Speed of the crafter. - Make chemfuel from raw food: Turns 3.5 nutrition worth of food ingredients into 35 chemfuel, worth 80.5. Takes 2,500 ticks (41.67 secs) of work, scaling with the General Labor Speed of the crafter.
Food that colonists don't like, such as human meat, insect meat, or twisted meat 
can be processed in a biofuel refinery at no consequence. Note that butchering a human at all comes with a mood penalty in the first place, unless disabled by a trait or ideoligion 
.
Analysis[edit]
Biofuel refineries are one of the few ways to produce chemfuel. Boomalopes are better in both nutrition/chemfuel and work/chemfuel with any amount of Animals proficiency. However, you'll need to actually get boomalopes, and manage the explosive animal. Infinite chemreactors are entirely free fuel, but it is exclusively a quest reward.
Chemfuel is required in order to create items like molotov cocktails and high-explosive shells, and refuel items like pod launchers and firefoam pop packs. Meanwhile, chemfuel powered generators are more efficient than wood generators in almost any scenario (see Comparison to chemfuel generators).
Fuel creation[edit]
As a rough order of which fuel takes the least work:
- Insect meat and human meat (if the butchering penalty can be ignored). An infestation can lead to a massive amount of food, for instance.
- Harvesting trees, if you have a lot of trees in the nearby area (such as in a Tropical rainforest).
- Growing plants - specifically corn, if available.
- Actually sowing trees takes a lot of time - it is never worth it to use wood over raw food if you have to grow wood.
Version history[edit]
- Before Beta 19, it used to be simply called the Refinery, and meals could be used as organic ingredients.
