What to do with Naphta?


Recommended Posts

Naphtha is nice thing to have.  It has a low thermal conductivity, so it can be used as mild insulation in a waterlock.  It can be used in a water lock to create a lock that is less conductive than water and has a significantly wider range of temperatures, which is nice.  You can also stack a tile of it with crude oil to get an old style naphtha lock

You can also make natural gas using magma or aquatuners.

EDIT And FutureJohny stole my response...How dare you.

what do you mean by conductive?

Low thermal conductivity means that it conducts heat slowly.  It heats up slower.  Abyssalite has the lowest thermal conductivity, so it basically doesn't conduct heat at all (unless it gets extremely hot).  Materials with lower thermal conductivity are better insulators

oh ok thxs. For a second there I thought electrical conductivity had been added :D.
