Reforming

  • The reformer takes in energy in order to reform certain petroleum products into better ones that can be made with the vacuum refinery.
    • However, a catalytic converter is also required in order to reform. It is made in the crafting table:

The GUI of the catalytic reformer
  • When in operation, the reformer consumes 400 kHE/s and 2000 mB/s of input fluid.
  • With liquid hydrogen being a common byproduct at varying quantities, the reformer is commonly paired with a hydrotreater.
  • The machine has a couple recipes, with the default one being using naphtha:
