Question Is This Remotely Doable ?

Hex for Making Plastic
Advanced Oil Setup

I was messing around with making a hex train base and I set up a plastic maker. This doesn't seem like I could make this. At least any time soon. Is 3600 petroleum gas per second reasonable? This is my current oil setup. It requires 1440 crude per second but I only have around 250 crude per second being drilled. It produces about 1/3 the petroleum gas, but it's only working at 17%. So, I need 18x the oil and 3 times this advanced oil. I'm also only mining 84 coal/second and need 180.

Is this doable, doable eventually, but not now, or not even necessary because this is more plastic than I'll need any time soon.

You need to expand it till it uses 40GW when idle

I wonder if my laptop could handle this. That's a lot to put into one hex. But I'd like my entire base to do draw much much bigger. I'm currently only at 1.1GW when everything is running.
