How Turbofuel Power Works and How to Build It

What this layout shows

Watch the point where Fuel and Compacted Coal merge into Turbofuel.

How it works

1. Turn SAM into Reanimated SAM, then feed it with Iron Ore into a Converter to produce Sulfur.
2. Make Compacted Coal from Coal and Sulfur.
3. Refine Crude Oil into the Fuel that Turbofuel is built from.
4. Feed Fuel and Compacted Coal into a Refinery to make Turbofuel.
5. Send the Turbofuel to Fuel-Powered Generators, which then produce the same power from a much smaller flow.

Calculated at build time

These are not fixed illustrative figures: they are solved again on game data 1.1.x every time the static pages are generated.

These figures come from solving this template at build time.

• Total power generated: 2,000.00 MW
• Turbofuel burned in generators: 60.00 m³/min
• Production power: 244.70 MW
• Production and power buildings to build: 18

Notes for building it in game

• Split the belts so that Coal and Sulfur arrive in equal amounts; a blockage is much easier to spot that way.
• Generators running at 100% need no Power Shards.
