The '''Distillation (Stage II)''' is a machine which processes {{infoicon|Medium Oil}} into {{infoicon|Diesel}} and {{infoicon|Light Oil}}. When combined with the [[Distillation (Stage I)]] and [[Distillation (Stage III)]] machines, they allow for the creation of {{infoicon|Naphtha}} and {{infoicon|Fuel Gas}}. All three units can be built direct together in a line with no tiles in between without loss of efficiency or they can be built independently and [[Pipe|piped]] together if so desired. The primary disadvantage of the Distillation (Stage II) and its companion machines is a significant increase in the difficulty of designing the refinery layout, piping, and subsequent byproduct management.

==Basic Distiller efficiency comparison==
When compared to the [[Basic Distiller]], the Distillation (Stage II) machine allows production of {{infoicon|Diesel}} 50% more efficiently (1.5 Crude Oil/Diesel vs 1.0 Crude Oil/Diesel). It also does not generate {{infoicon|Waste Water}}, though handling its byproducts will create some amount of {{infoicon|Air Pollution}}.
