In Nuclear Tech Mod, Cracked Oil is a major and important step of the progression in the mod, being the first ever oil you will get using a Catalytic Cracking Tower.

It is used to make different oils in the Cracking Tower, which will serve as base for inumerous other fluids on the mod that also accomplish in your progression. We'll see those in a while, meanwhile, let's talk a little about Cracked Oil itself. It is flammable, viscous and polluting. And provides you 25.0kTU per bucket.

Production

The main way of getting Cracked Oil is of course, cracking Crude Oil:

1,000mB

2,000mB

800mB

200mB

20mB

But the other way of getting it is through Fractioning Tower(s):

1,000mB

300mB

700mB

Uses

Cracked Oil has a few ways to be used, let's go through all machines and processes it can be used in, in details:

In a Hydrotreater:

50mB

1,000mB

900mB

150mB

(Note: The Liquid Hydrogen must be pressurized at 1 PU. For this, it must go through a Compressor)

In a Boiler:

5mB Cracked Oil > 5mB Hot Cracked Oil

In a Industrial Solidification Machine:

200mB Cracked Oil > 1 Cracked Oil Tar
