Biofuel refineries are one of the few ways to produce chemfuel. [[Boomalope]]s are better in both nutrition/chemfuel and work/chemfuel with any amount of Animals proficiency. However, you'll need to actually get boomalopes, and manage the explosive animal. [[Infinite chemreactor]]s are entirely free fuel, but it is exclusively a [[quest]] reward. | Biofuel refineries are one of the few ways to produce chemfuel.
