Even with enough refinery input, a full byproduct output stops the primary product. Compare current output rates with active consumption paths.
Check the stopped refinery output, then compare the combined consumption of recipes that actually use the byproduct with the combined output of every upstream refinery. Restore output space and a working consumption path before restarting production.
Use Diagnose Oil Byproduct Backups to examine the information shown on this page: Even with enough refinery input, a full byproduct output stops the primary product. Compare current output rates with active consumption paths. Start with the question you need to answer, then read the description together with the applicable conditions. Similar names do not establish the same role or effect. Separate information about one entry from examples or related entries, and keep the scope of a collection distinct from a single selected record.
The comparison information displayed here includes Plastic: Heavy Oil Residue 10 m³/min, Rubber: Heavy Oil Residue 20 m³/min, Fuel: Polymer Resin 30 /min, Petroleum Coke: Heavy Oil Residue 40 m³/min, Residual Fuel: Heavy Oil Residue 60 m³/min, Residual Plastic: Polymer Resin 60 /min, and Residual Rubber: Polymer Resin 40 /min. Check the label, unit, and conditions attached to each value before combining it with other information. A quantity, limit, requirement, and result describe different things. Compare like with like; do not add unrelated values or treat an unavailable value as zero. A listed value alone does not establish every condition needed in your own game.
Use the page in stages: identify the relevant entry or constraint, review its details, and then inspect the related information needed for your next decision. When a control changes the selection, check the active conditions and resulting display again. Keep a plan separate from actions actually completed in the game. Before using a result, compare it with your current equipment, available resources, and progress; the page does not automatically confirm that personal state.
Examples of linked entries to inspect are Plastic Heavy Oil Residue 10 m³/min, Rubber Heavy Oil Residue 20 m³/min, Fuel Polymer Resin 30 /min, Heavy Oil Residue, Polymer Resin, and Petroleum Coke Heavy Oil Residue 40 m³/min. Follow the relationship indicated by the page rather than assuming that every link means the same thing. Return to the original entry after checking conditions on a linked page. An unavailable relationship remains unknown; it is not evidence that no other relationship or prerequisite exists.
