Best Oil Refinery setup to make Heavy Oil Residue in Satisfactory
Heavy Oil Residue is an important material in Satisfactory, but you’ll need to know about the best Oil Refinery setup to make this item.
There are many great uses for Heavy Oil Residue, such as fuel in aCoal Generator, or turned into Petroleum Coke to put into an AWESOME Sink for FICSIT Coupons.
No matter the reason, whether you’re in a single-player ordedicated server, you need to make a Heavy Oil Residue factory. Here’s how it’s done.
How to farm Heavy Oil Residue in Satisfactory
You cannot make this item by hand, so instead you have to refine it in aRefineryusingCrude Oil. You’ll unlock the ability to build Oil Extractors and Refineries from theOil ProcessingMilestonein Tier 5. This will also allow you to search for Crude Oil on your Scanner.
As you’re able to see from the map above, you won’t find much Pure Crude Oil around, but I recommend you build your base in the Rocky Desertstarting location, since it’s close to the two Pure Crude Oil nodes on the western shore of the map.
To make this Heavy Oil Residue setup, you’ll want it to look something like this and it should include these buildings:
While this is just one decent way of farming Heavy Oil Residue, there are many tweaks you’re able to make to this build to create different items.
For instance, while making Rubber and Plastic with Heavy Oil Residue as a byproduct, you couldrefine Oil into Heavy Oil Resin and Polymer Resinin a third Refinery as well. This can only be done using anAlternate Recipe, but it’s a great way to also make Polymer Resin, which is used to make Fabric.

While storing away your main products, which are Rubber and Plastic, your byproduct is Heavy Oil Residue, which can be stored in two large Industrial Fluid Buffers. Now, you can stop it right there, but to make the most out of this item, you should turn it into other useful products.
On this farm, I used Heavy Oil Residue to make Petroleum Coke and Fuel in two separate Refineries. You can also choose to makeTurbofuel using Heavy Oil Residue and Compacted Coal, which you can make in an Assembler with Coal and Sulfur.
