Some people prefer to build more advanced refineries and can then construct control rooms to easily regulate the refinery from remote.

It will need 25 EU/t to run at maximum speed. EU is probably the best choice for running a refinery continuously or for running massive refinery facilities. Energy Link Īlternatively, EU from the Industrial Craft 2 mod can be used to power the Oil Refinery via an Energy Link. Electrical engines and Energy Link requires minimum space (compared to the cooling systems for combustion engines) and can be constantly supplied with power from a good cable network. Combustion Engines also need to be cooled to prevent them from exploding. If they are filled completely with buckets of fuel, they can run for days without having to be refilled. However, the amount of fuel used is a small fraction of what is produced. Due to using fuel itself, though, it is not the best option for total fuel output unless you are powering the engines with lava. Power Buildcraft Engines Ī Redstone Engine is not recommended for running refineries as it produces very little power required for the different components.Ī Steam Engine is the best choice if your aim is the best total output of fuel they do not, however, provide the best efficiency.Ī Combustion Engine is the most efficient choice in terms of production volume. This design must, in almost all cases, be powered by a nearby engine station to work efficiently. Building towers is the easiest alternative. To minimize the space used you can either build towers or build the refinery underground. If oil is being extracted from multiple wells, you may prefer to build a large refinery. Real refineries and efficient Buildcraft refineries have one thing in common, they usually require a lot of space. Without the Forestry mod, Energy Link can be used instead if you want an EU-powered refinery. This larger refinery has a total of 6 oil refinery units, powered by 25 Forestry electrical engines. This refinery can then also be started and shut off easily from the same redstone current. More efficient designs often include a large power unit near the refineries, with multiple engines powering conductive pipe, usually gold, because of less power loss.
