Wood oil is a viscous, flammable, polluting liquid which provides 110 kTU of heat per bucket when burned. Its main use is as a limited source of petrochemicals and/or tar before proper oil production.
Production
Wood oil is made in a combination oven from a sawdust briquette, wooden log, or tree sapling:












Uses
Wood oil can be cracked into heating oil and aromatic hydrocarbons:



It is used to make wood tar in the industrial solidification machine:

It is also used to make coker gas in a coker unit:




Wood oil can be mixed with fish oil or sunflower seed oil to make biofuel:




It can also be used to make various chemical dyes in the ore acidizer.
Trivia
- If wood oil is made from sawdust sourced from stirling sawmills for maximum yield, and is then fully cracked, reformed, and the products burnt in a CCGT and fluid burner, each log of wood will yield ~2 MHE depending on the design of the processing chain. While this may seem overpowered, by the time you can construct the machines required to do this, you will have already made an RBMK, making the relatively small amount of power yielded and the large effort required to set this up largely pointless. Still funny though!
