This mod attempts to make coal less of a storage hog while making it more useful as a fuel source by adding new recipes to create new types of coal by condensing it -- making it take up less space while also providing more fuel per unit.
Currently it adds 5 new fuels (aside from diamonds, they are all real variations of coal -- in ascending order according to their purity and energy density):
1. CE_Lignite
2. CE_Sub-Bituminous Coal
3. CE_Bituminous Coal
4. CE_Anthracite
5. CE_Diamond
CE_ has been added so the 'Diamond' item does not collide with other mods.
The crafting recipes and equivalencies are:
10 coal --> 1 Lignite (10x one piece of coal)
10 Lignite --> 1 Sub-Bituminous Coal (100x one piece of coal)
10 Sub-Bituminous Coal --> 1 Bituminous Coal (1_000x one piece of coal)
10 Bituminous Coal --> 1 Anthracite (10_000x one piece of coal)
10 Anthracite --> 1 Diamond (100_000x one piece of coal)
The base (non-boosted) fuel totals are:
1 coal = 4 MJ
1 Lignite = 40 MJ
1 Sub-Bituminous Coal = 400 MJ
1 Bituminous Coal = 4_000 MJ (4 GJ)
1 Anthracite = 40_000 MJ (40 GJ)
1 Diamond = 400_000 MJ (400 GJ)
Future Plans:
- Add to tech tree so that compression must be unlocked
- Add a compressor building
