Creosote Oil

[ileaves2live]

Just a few questions regarding creosote oil, the liquid that gets produced when I put coal into a coal coke oven.
Firstly, what are the uses of it? Can I use it to power engines?
Secondly, what will happen if the coal coke oven gets filled with creosote oven? I don't really want to find out myself, afraid that it will explode :S

Thanks!

It's used for wooden railbeds mostly, but it can also be used as a fuel for certain things. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head, though, is the Boiler, and Creosote doesn't go very far with a Boiler. If the Coke Oven gets full of Creosote, then any new Creosote produced is simply wasted.

Is that some setting or option? When my Coke ovens filled up with creosote in the Magic World pack they just refused to continue making coal coke.

Whoops. Sorry, I apparently haven't used them nearly enough. Or, well, I usually pumped it out for larger storage. I made an assumption and it bit me in the butt, you're right.

What I did is fill a tank with it and anything that's generated that doesn't fit into the tank gets voidpiped.
