Syngas Producer
This is a multiblock machine that makes a fluid fuel (Syngas) from solid carbon-based fuels.
Mechanics
- Each heating chamber consumes up to to 2 carbon per tick to produce 0.1 heat
- When above 150 heat each heating chamber will also produce up to 50 mB of steam per tick
- This scales as the heat gets higher, with the maximum produced at 200 heat
- Each mixing chamber will consume up to 50 carbon and 10 mB of steam per tick to produce 1 mB of syngas
- For optimal efficiency there should be 1 heating chamber per 5 mixing chamber
- Additional heating chambers will speed up heating time, but reduce overall efficiency by a bit
- Can accept steam made elsewhere – in that mode no carbon will be consumed for heating
