The '''biofuel refinery''' is a [[production]] [[building]] that produces [[chemfuel]] from [[wood]] or non-[[hay]] [[raw food]].

The '''biofuel refinery''' is a work table to produce [[chemfuel]] from [[wood]] or organic ingredients, it cannot be re-installed.

Constructing a biofuel refinery requires [[Research#Biofuel refining|Biofuel Refining]] to be researched, as well as {{icon|steel|200}} [[steel]] and {{icon|component|3}} [[component]]s.  It requires a construction skill of 4.

** [[Hay]] or [[meal]]s are not accepted, though [[kibble]] made with hay will work. Most raw ingredients have a nutrition value of 0.05. For such ingredients, 3.5 nutrition requires 70 units, which is the same quantity required of wood.

Food that colonists don't like, such as [[human meat]] and [[insect meat]], can be processed in a biofuel refinery at no consequence. Note that butchering a [[human]] at all comes with a mood penalty in the first place, unless disabled by a [[trait]] or [[ideoligion]] {{IdeologyIcon}}.

== Analysis ==
 
−
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.  
 
  
−
Chemfuel is required in order to create items like [[molotov cocktail]]s and [[high-explosive shell]]s, and refuel items like [[pod launcher]]s and [[firefoam pop pack]]s. Meanwhile, [[chemfuel powered generator]]s are more efficient than [[wood-fired generator|wood generators]] in almost any scenario (see [[Wood-fired generator#Chemfuel_powered_generators|Comparison to chemfuel generators]]).

*Most raw ingredients have a nutrition value of 0.05. For such ingredients, 3.5 nutrition requires 70 units, which is the same quantity required of wood.
−
=== Fuel creation ===
+
*Since [[chemfuel powered generator]]s use only 4 fuel per day, it is very easy to achieve [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_motion net power from a closed system]. (A farm can easily fuel its own Sunlamps and still provide a surplus of food)
−
As a rough order of which fuel takes the least work:
 
−
# [[Insect meat]] and [[human meat]] (if the butchering penalty can be ignored). An [[infestation]] can lead to a massive amount of food, for instance.
 
−
# Harvesting trees, if you have a lot of trees in the nearby area (such as in a [[biomes#Tropical rainforest|Tropical rainforest]]).  
 
−
# Growing plants - specifically [[corn]], if available.
 
−
# Actually sowing trees takes a lot of time - it is never worth it to use wood over raw food if you have to grow wood.
