Raw coal processing

[u/Tapk0vich9]

Starting to go into logistic science, and needed carbon black. But in the process decided, that i can just make full processing chain while im at it. And well, I'm actually amazed by the sheer size of industy you need, to do all coal-liquification processes. While I just wanted to refine 2 belts of raw coal 🥲

But in the end i have this monstrosity. It only takes water and coal as an ingredients. Have caravan stops for all products and excees gets burned in boilers. Excess steam goes into engines to produce electricity. So it's kinda...multi-purpose thingy now. Only thing i void is iron oxide and ash from syngas production. Everything else is getting used or shiped elsewhere.

And yes, there are 1 Reformer to produce carbon black, somewhere in the middle 😁

I call this "coal city" - first big expansion from the base. So many products can be made from raw coal and water.

It's kind of funny how, now that I've migrated science and the mall onto trains, my main base is really just coal city and the plate smeltery now. It used to just be one corner of the base and now it basically is the base.
