I have literal oceans of heavy oil, but I still need water to make rocket fuel?

There has to be a better way to make rocket fuel than melting ice…

Anyone find a clever solution?

    It works well enough for me. Remember you can also have a space station parked and drop infinite ice from space. :)

      Ah yes… The space platform… If you didn’t forget to pack enough ammo for the round trip…

      Rest in peace, space platform Ometic.

        His legacy will live on as iron chunks for the next space platform to harvest. Immortality in the cause of the expanding factory.

    Nope, melting ice. Remember that you can void basically anything by feeding it into a recycler facing another recycler that feed into each other. I would recommend buffering things like processing units before they hit the void though lol.

      I currently have a sushi belt setup for scrap processing that put all the overflow into a recycler to put it back in the belt. Depending on the setup, it might be easier

        That’s a good idea! I’m gonna steal it when I return to ramp up Fulgoran production, perhaps with some circuitry, perhaps not. Personally I’m thinking of having all factories branch off of the main scrap line with filter splitters.
