More uses for gasoline? #92

Euphoric commented 6 years ago

I'm playing my first game with Immersive Engineering & Petroleum. And with no other tech mods. I built my first simple oil refining setup. And after a short while, I'm swimming in gasoline, with no obvious use for it.

Only use that comes to mind is to build a wall of portable generators and use that for power generation. But that feels cheap.

Things that come to mind :

Good ideas - I especially like the first

The Gasoline Station would be good for a Vehicle-based IE addon (i.e. Cars, Trucks, Boats)

...

Now I want Immersive Cars. And Immersive Boats.

I love the Napalm idea, and that it was added! Finally a fun use for excess Gasoline! Still have a bunch of it though. If there was a decent car mod that used this mods gas, it would help.

I do have one issue though, in that the napalm doesn't seem to ignite when using it as a Chemical Thrower fuel. I switched back and forth between ignition on and off, and back again, to test, but, no. Still doesn't light. Probably just a single misplaced value, as it often is with programming.

I really like the idea of the chainsaw that would be really cool and would actually fit the mod

The Ultimate Car mod adds a fuel pump to fuel cars that can charge per quantity used, I added gasoline as a compatible fuel and felt like such a good way to use it. Maybe IP could have more tools or future feature using it. And the idea of selling diesel or gasoline feels awesome. Maybe a fluid counter? then itll allow a set mB of a liquid per X item (like emerald) and only the owner can take the money out. You could sell all sorts of liquids!

Come to think of it. A power counter would also be amazing...

FireheartIndustries commented 6 years ago

@Nerodon, I second that! Especially the power counter, as I've been wanting to find a server with IEngin, IPetro, and ITech (as well as Extreme reactors) to set up a power company and sell energy/fuels!

Zetta Industries has an RF meter. It also has OpenComputers support, so automating billing and stuff is possible.

Maybe a big gasoline generator like the diesel generator ? Or a way to convert gasoline to diesel ? In the refinery for example.

Second the gasoline generator idea. Would be a massive use-case for gasoline.
