Is Turbo Fuel Worth It?

[RobotTrain]

I havnt Gotten Turbo Fuel Yet but it seems good but it needs hard drives so i was wondering if i should or not

[kimba-rip]

you will need turbo fuel at some point whether it be for power or ammo(bullets)....

[luntacarsus]

*Need* is pretty strong. I've never bothered with it myself.

ok

Best fuel for generators.

As far as packaged turbo fuel for personal gear and automated vehicles, it's probably a matter of personal taste. Packaged turbofuel is probably very handy for long distance trucking with a developed fuel distribution network.

What I've not worked out is which recipes are needed to maximize the electrical power produced from a given quantity of crude oil. It's fairly clear that turbofuel is part of it.

It's really good for power generation.
Assuming the best alt recipes, compared to regular fuel you can power 33% more fuel generators for the same oil, though with the addition of sulfur.

E.g. using the heavy oil residue, diluted fuel and turbo blend fuel recipes:
* 180 oil -> 480 fuel -> 40 fuel generators
* 180 oil + 120 sulfur -> 240 turbofuel -> 53.33 fuel generators

If you want to use the turbo ammo when you unlock it in the M.A.M you'll need it.. the only advantage to turbo ammo... 75 rounds in a magazine and not the standard 10 or 15 for the homing ammo.. turbo ammo however has a lower damage rating but capable of sending lots of projectiles down range and not having to reload as often.

[gooooood mewing vietnam!]

turbo blend fuel gives the most power per unit of oil.
the logical problem is that by the time you have blenders you can also move into nuclear power...
personally, I don't bother with anything more complicated than diluted fuel before nuclear/turbo blend is unlocked.

ok Thanks

Turbofuel is pretty sick

I don't have my numbers anymore, but the oil field by the lake in the south east, when overclocked gives enough oil to, along with diluted fuel and turbo fuel, power nearly 800 fuel generators.

I've done that just now, although I'm missing the heavy oil residue alt recipe I mainly extract plastic and rubber from the spot, but the leftover HOR gets to power over a 100 generators, I just don't know where to put them yet. If I went for HOR instead of the oil products I could power 302.22222 generators, with crude oil overclocked I'd get 755.5555 out of that spot. Where would you even put that many Fuel Generators at???

In my first world I built a huge platform over the void to the west of Blue Crater for my turbofuel plant, 266 generators (the most you can power with the turbofuel from 600 sulfur)
Though in practice it's more like 256 gens, as rounding errors mean it doesn't quite produce as much turbofuel as the maths says it should.

In my new world it's on the water north of Spire Coast

Yeah, thath checks out :)
I've put them in a tower over the water on site where I extract the oil. Lowest level I have the refineries and blenders that make HOR, fuel and resin byproducts. Level 2 I have the blenders for turbo fuel, and then I have 6 floors with the generators in a 11*12 pattern, except for the top floor which has fewer generators totalling 756 of them.
Ugly AF.
I should be producing 113 000MW, but missing around 30 000. Guess some pipes are acting up but I'm fine with that for now xD the game lags like crazy in that area now so any errors I spot might as well just be lag or rendering errors.

Yeah that ugly boxtower look Is what I'm trying to avoid. I made the oil production look like an oil rig to be fully pimped out still and intend to make something like a damn at the waterfall, then put all the generators behind that and below, so you can't see it unless you go look at it.
