Overview
A small refinery which can produce Low Grade Fuel from Crude Oil.
Turn the crude from your barrel runs into fuel you can actually burn, without killing one more boar for its fat. The price is steep for a box of pipes: 250 low grade fuel, 500 metal fragments and 200 wood, and the blueprint wants a Level 2 workbench. So the first fuel you ever craft by hand goes partly into the machine that will make the rest.
Running it is simple. Wood goes in as the fuel, crude oil beside it, then you switch it on and walk away. Low grade fuel collects in the output, along with charcoal from the burnt wood.
Tip
Keep that charcoal. Mixed with sulfur it becomes gunpowder, so a refinery running overnight quietly feeds your ammo and raid stock as well.
Picture a group of three with a minicopter on the roof. Every road run brings home a box of crude, and the copter's tank empties faster than the barrels fill it. One refinery in the base closes that gap. Keep it inside behind a door: the finished fuel sits in it, and an open machine in the yard is a gift to whoever walks past.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
