Petroleum Generator (A Forestry-esque BC/IC crossover mod)

[MJRamon]

Okey, sorry for silence. Here are updated textures. Online/offline modes, centered ports for aesthetic feeling of connected pipes/cables:

Oh, and a suggestion: can you make back side of the machine to use side texture, so there will be only one front side? That sounds logical, I hope.

 

[deathbyc4]

could you make the petrogen accept biomass/biofuel please? Thank you!

I think, it could be a separate machine called Bio Generator

 

[deathbyc4]

i am aware or the bio generator, i would like the option to use the petro generator instead. i like its texture as well.

DrCeph has a "fun blurb" in his post about damn dirty hippies and biofuel so I'd guess it's a no to that, also he was balancing this around the Forestry Biogen as an alternative to use all that damn BC oil that clogs up the world.

 

[Squigie]

Thematically the petrogen is analogous to a combustion engine, so accepting biofuel but not biomass would be consistent. However, as the biogen accepts both, and is thus dissimilar to its engine counterpart, the current arrangement is not without precedent and a change is non-vital.

"Petrogen is similar to a combustion engine, so it could accept biofuel, not biomass. Since the biogen accepts both and is not like its engine cousin, it is not necessary."
Had to cut our some of the big words for those that need it. No offense, of course, just translating for the younger crowd.

What big words? it was perfectly legible to me........
heh maybe the younger crowd should bookmark an online dictionary and increase their vocabulary.

Valid point, I'll shut up now

Oh, for the love of tea...

While the words may be unfamiliar, through context the meaning should be clear. To reiterate, engines and generators do not line up exactly in what fuels they use.

Simple internet user's terms:

Oh come on...

The words might be new, but how they are used should help you understand the meaning. I'll say it again, engines and generators do not line up exactly in what fuels they use.

Trololol...

 

[MJRamon]

Stop the flame. Thanks.

Stop the flame. Thanks.

My sincerest apologies, I was attempting to be humorous

I love this mod. I had a ton of oil, but already had a MJ facility, so i threw it in here and powered a mass fab.

DrCeph Industries has proudly contravened no less than 28 greenhouse gas emission protocols and laws in over 18 countries. We are also banned from operating as a business in California. We attribute this stellar record to our firm stance on not allowing hippies, greenies and the citizens of San Francisco to burn their organic vegetable smoothies as fuel in our patented petroleum generators.

Good idea. I have exactly the same issue: my boiler provides all the power I need and runs off of biofuel (of which I have over 6k units to spare, together with over 6k units of biomass). I also have a 6k units of fuel and 6k units of oil. The problem was that I didn't have anything that I needed to power other than the stuff that's running on my CO2-neutral biofuel setup. And we can't have CO2-neutrality ofcourse!

Just a quick note to say that Petrogen will be updated to 1.5 in the near future. Watch this space.

Hey ever think about animal fat? Render down them cows for fuel? Just saying.
