Zoom in

This is an ethanol refinery used by MarsCorp to produce fuel for their vehicles. 4th wall: I modeled much of this off a picture of a real ethanol refinery. I don’t know crap about ethanol production so about half of this was built to be accurate and look cool. I have no idea what it does.

About this creation

This is a modified tanker truck. The original had some extensions to the wheel base which made it too wide to fit through the gate. Next to the truck is a filler arm which fills the truck while it is parked.

The refinery has a gate with guard booth that controls the gate and allows all shipments in and out of the facility to be logged.

This is the security booth. I designed this part like a toll booth.

At the refinery, they produce ethanol to power their vehicles from varying grains that they grow. This silo stores those grains until they are ready to be processed.

This section takes the grain from the silos and cleans it then removes the husks and sifts away the usable grain. I mostly designed it just to look refinery-esque so I didn’t think about function a whole lot while building. 4th wall: this entire description could be false as I was building for effect here as with most of the refinery equipment.

I have no idea what either of these pieces are, I saw them in a picture of a real ethanol refinery. The tower is most likely a distilling tower and the pipe manifold, no clue.

This is, again, I have no idea because it came from a real picture.

This flat bubble is, I just built it to look cool so . . . You can see the storage tanks by where the truck pulls in at the bottom left of this pic.
