Alkylation Unit
Converts a feed fluid, with an optional acid, into two fluids.
The feed tank's fluid selects the row: the last row in table order whose first input fluid has that type. Set the feed type with a fluid identifier on the block; it defaults to chloromethane. Every 2 ticks the unit drains 100 mB of feed and the acid amount, fills both outputs and uses 4,000 HE; it needs 4,000 HE stored.
Fields
| Field | Meaning and default | Range |
|---|---|---|
type | Selects the hbmspace:alkylation recipe format. | |
nameOptional | Internal lookup name; defaults to the last segment of the recipe resource path. | |
orderOptional | Sort position within the recipe table; lower values first, default 2147483647. | \texttt{i32} |
input_fluids | The first entry's type selects the row; its amount is not used, and recipe viewers show 10 steps of each amount, so keep it at 100. An optional second entry is the acid drained per step. Further entries are ignored. | |
output_fluids | Exactly two fluids filled per step; a row with fewer fails when the unit runs it. |
duration, power, item fields and fluid pressure are ignored.
