Coke is a petroleum product produced via coking various petroleum fluids and coals. Coking is performed by heating coal in the absence of oxygen, driving off volatile compounds, which leaves behind a more porous material that can burn more readily. These coke products generate more heat when burned, which can, for example, speed up heating via heating ovens, and provide more operations in burner presses.

There are three variants of coke, which are all interchangeable in recipes: petroleum coke, coal coke, and lignite coke.

Production

Coal & Lignite Coke

Coal and lignite coke can be produced with coal or lignite, respectively, by either forming briquettes in a press with a flat stamp and smelting them:

or by directly placing any of the aforementioned ingredients in a combination oven:

Petroleum Coke

Petroleum coke has a fair few more recipes than the two coal cokes, being the primary product of the coker unit. It can also be produced by processing oil tar or crack oil tar in a combination oven.

Uses

Coke makes for a fantastic early game solid fuel, and even provides solid utility in torch crafting, since it crafts double the amount of torches over regular coal. When used for steel alloying, it generally increases the amount of steel that can be produced for a given amount of iron ore.

Coke can also be pressed to produce graphite:
