Bakelite (or formally: poly­oxy­benzyl­methylene­glycol­anhydride) is an alternative plastic to polymer, as it is made with aromatic hydrocarbons instead of coal powder and fluorite.

It can also be crafted with laboratory glassware, by mixing 2 tanks, one with aromatic hydrocarbons and second with petroleum gas. The resulting powder can then be smelted into bars of bakelite.

Uses

Bakelite is a valid substitute for polymer in virtually every recipe it appears in; since it requires only fluid inputs from oil processing, it is far easier to mass produce than polymer (which requires coal and fluorite production in addition to oil).

• One of these recipes include insulators, an ingredient required in multiple machines and also most circuit components:
