About this build

A small tileable solid fuel block: two chemical plants per segment turn petroleum gas into solid fuel. Up to 15 segments (30 chemical plants) fit on one red output belt, and you can switch the recipe to light oil, which gives more fuel per fluid.

From episode 19 of Maxiume's Space Age Let's Play.
