A multi-stage biomass-to-solid-fuel refining chain for Pyanodon's mod suite. Transforms organic waste into high-performance Soaked Briquettes via mechanical digestion, mineral binding, pyrolysis, and oil infusion. Integrates with Py tech trees and burns in all chemical-fuel vehicles.
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-03-30
Features:
- Initial scaffold for the Biomass Fuel Refining chain.
- Added Bulk Digester: furnace-type entity with 10-slot source inventory.
Accepts any fuel-bearing organic item. Recipes auto-generated at load time.
- Added data-final-fixes.lua: scans all loaded item prototypes for fuel_value > 0
and generates a biomass-digestion recipe per item, scaled to energy content.
Works with any installed mod automatically.
- Added items: Dried Biomass, Condensed Bricks, Soaked Biomass Bricks, Worn Iron Plate.
- Added static recipes for chain Phases 2-5 (compression, F-T synthesis,
catalyst refurbishment, distillation, oil infusion).
- Added crafting categories for all five chain stages.
- Black Liquor fluid output on digester is conditional — safe without pyHighTech.
Known TODOs:
- Replace placeholder graphics with Py ball-mill/grinder sprites.
- Confirm Py fluid names: black-liquor, bio-syngas, bio-syncrude, synthetic-heavy-oil.
- Assign chain categories to correct existing Py machines.
- Calibrate Soaked Biomass Bricks fuel value against Py anthracite.
- Add technology prototype to unlock the chain.
- Add Py-specific machine ingredients to the Bulk Digester crafting recipe.
