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?

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.
