Guide

Liquid Polymer is an intermediate fluid resource essential for advancing mid-game crafting chains. It is produced by refining Crude Olumite in a distillation column, making it a key step in processing raw materials into more advanced products.

This fluid is primarily used to manufacture Polymer Board and Rubber, both of which are important components for further factory expansion and automation. Players focusing on these items will need a steady supply of Liquid Polymer to maintain production lines.

The distillation process also generates Waste Gas as a byproduct, introducing an additional layer of factory management. Efficient handling of both the main product and the waste output is crucial for smooth operations.

Tips

• Ensure you have a reliable system to manage and dispose of Waste Gas, as buildup can disrupt your production flow.
• Set up adequate tank storage for Liquid Polymer early on to prevent bottlenecks and maintain a consistent supply for downstream crafting.
• As your demand for Polymer Board and Rubber grows, plan to scale your fluid transport lines and storage capacity to keep up with increased throughput.
• Integrate dedicated fluid logistics and routing from the start to avoid congestion and simplify future expansion.

FAQ

What are the best practices for handling waste gas from this process?

Set up a dedicated pipeline or venting system for Waste Gas to prevent production slowdowns. Consider using gas storage tanks or connecting to any available gas processing lines to keep your distillation column running smoothly.
