  It'd be cool if they added a "dump pipe" where we could just throw the water back into the lake/rivers.

  Forgot to mention sloppy alumina.  No silica generated and use pure aluminum ingot.  No silica needed at all

  Just to point out... as a help for the players who plan on recycling nuclear waste.<br>There is ONLY 4 Uranium Nodes on the map. I utilize 32 Nuclear Power Plants at 200% on my map. because using any more uranium makes it almost impossible to recycle the waste fast enough. <br>You need uranium to recycle waste as well. So bear this in mind if you use more than 33 power plants (I use 32 because its an even number)<br>I built my Power plant above my recycling plant in a massive super structure. I ship all resources I need into the centralized location. It makes radiation less prominent.

  The reason nuclear waste management is unrealistic in Satisfactory is because it would be way too OP if it was realistic.

  The fun thing about the alternate oil recipes is you can wring more product out of the same amount of oil. If you turn the crude oil straight into polymer resin and then into rubber a single piece of rubber will cost 0.92 oil instead of the 1.5 of the original recipe. Same with fuel, if you first directly turn crude oil into heavy oil residue then into diluted fuel, you&apos;ll get a lot more fuel/oil then with the regular recipe. It&apos;s true for plastic as well, but the difference there is miniscule.

  This is great for new players! I remember starting oil for the first time back in update 3 and having no idea how to handle polymer resin

  i enjoyed the game a lot, then i unlocked oil. fluid handling was the game is the bane of my existence.

  I love how the solution to nuclear waste it to just shove it in a box and forget about it

  The diluted fuel recipes are absolutely amazing, as they double the heavy oil residue into fuel. Combined with the polyester fabric to deal with the polymer resin, you have lots of coupons/fabric and fuel. One pure oil node goes from 600 oil to 800 HOR and 400 resin. With water, that gives 1600 fuel and 400 fabric. Two inputs, plenty of power and coupons.

  No where near these items but good information to know. Thanks for the tips!!

  Heavy oil residue and petroleum coke are extremely useful. If you get caterium computers and rubber/petroleum coke circuit boards, then all you need for computers is oil and caterium.

  I like going full Polymer Resin, with &quot;Alternate: Polymer Resin&quot; recipie. As then using &quot;Residual Plastic&quot; or &quot;Residual Rubber&quot; will give you the biggest yeld out of those. But you will need quite a bit of water and this setup uses a lot more refineries, therefore it has a bigger footprint, but it&apos;s the way to go if you want to maximize plastic or rubber output. And you&apos;ll stll have quite a bit of heavy oil residue left to turn into fuel or turbo fuel.
