Convert Oil in Useful Batches

Plastic Block turns collected Crude Oil into a general workshop material. Because a five-oil craft returns ten blocks, plan demand by output batch instead of treating every block as a separate oil cost.

Keep Structural and Recipe Stock Separate

  • Use its low weight and high buoyancy where those properties help the build.
  • Keep a labeled reserve for parts that explicitly require Plastic Block.
  • Check the live recipe panel before committing a decorative stockpile.
