Guide

The Distillation Column is a specialized factory building designed to process crude olumite and other raw liquids into a range of refined products. It plays a central role in resource refinement chains, acting as the main gateway for transforming basic fluids into more advanced materials.

This machine is essential for producing key intermediates such as LDO, Liquid Polymer, and Olumite Gas, which feed into higher-tier manufacturing and chemical lines. Its throughput and reliability directly impact the efficiency of downstream processes.

At scale, the Distillation Column often becomes a bottleneck in paint production and related assembly lines, making its placement and operation a critical factor in maintaining steady output.

Astuces

• When deploying multiple Distillation Columns, arrange them in parallel rows with shared pipe corridors to minimize piping clutter and simplify maintenance.
• Ensure each column has a stable power connection, as inconsistent power can halt processing and disrupt dependent production lines.
• Take note of the fixed input and output sides on the Distillation Column - plan your pipe layouts accordingly to avoid awkward bends and congestion.
• If local crude olumite sources run dry, consider using shuttles and loaders to transport feedstock from remote deposits, ensuring continuous operation.

FAQ

Is there a way to automate or boost distillation column throughput beyond current options?

Throughput for the Distillation Column is primarily limited by its base processing speed and the efficiency of your input and output logistics. While you can scale up by running multiple columns in parallel and optimizing pipe layouts, there are currently no upgrades or modules that directly increase the processing speed of an individual column.

Can vertical pipe connections be used with distillation columns?

Distillation Columns only support horizontal pipe connections on designated input and output ports. Vertical connections are not supported, so plan your pipe routing accordingly to avoid congestion and ensure smooth fluid flow.
