In Nuclear Tech Mod, Bitumen is the main fluid used to make Asphalt. A block that, if used in the make of some type of path, can be quite useful, as it will increase the player's speed by 50%, while also having a reasonable blast resistance of 72.0.

Bitumen is a black-ish, viscous and powerful pollutant in the mod. It can be made from resources you can find or get somewhat easily, like Tar Sand and different variants of Oil Tar.

Bitumen has a few methods of production and even fewer direct uses. Bitumen isn't required for progression in the mod, but it can improve your bases aesthetics while vastly improving mobility.

Production

Bitumen has a total of 6 ways to be acquired, those being: 1 in a Chemical Plant / 3 in the Industrial Liquefaction Machine and 2 in Fractioning Tower(s). Firstly, a look in the Chemical Plant way of producing Bitumen and following:

Chemical Plant
Inputs	Recipe
Chemistry Template: Tar Sand Extraction Production Time: 10.0 seconds Inputs: Tar Sand, any Oil Tar Produces: Bitumen, Sand	16 1,000mB 4 4 4 4

For the Industrial Liquefaction Machine production of Bitumen, there are 3 processes, those being:

1 Coal Tar > 50mB Bitumen
1 Oil Tar > 75mB Bitumen
1 Crack Oil Tar > 100mB Bitumen

And for the Fractioning Tower(s) production of Bitumen, there is 2 processes, those being:

Uses

Bitumen has a total of 4 uses in the mod, being 1 in each of the following machines: Catalytic Cracking Tower / Chemical Plant / Industrial Solidification Machine and Coker Unit. All in order:
