Coal Oil


Play without oil wells! Unintrusively adds methods of extracting Crude and Heavy Oil from coal, and includes a secondary Coal Liquefaction recipe better suited to exclusively using coal for petroleum products.

b [Fixed] unusable with 2.0 Space Age

Thanks for this. It looks attractive. But FYI...

Mod is listed as compatible with 2.0. But I added it to an existing early game in Space Age, where I'm stuck on a ribbon world with no oil accessible, and it did nothing. No recipes, no machines, no new tech to research. It seems to want to unlock its first recipe at the same time as basic oil processing. But in space age you can't get that tech without mining some oil. Instant chicken-and-egg problem! So, the mod's stated purpose "play without oil wells" seems to be defeated??

I had to work around it by reading the source code and developing this command to execute on my console:
/c game.player.force.recipes["co_coal-to-crude-oil"].enabled = true
to unlock the first recipe without any oil wells.

Hey cb750mark! Nice catch.

Indeed, the mod required you to first obtain crude oil before gaining the ability to make it from coal... oops.

I've just uploaded a version which should make the mod usable as intended. The chemical plant and first crude oil recipe are unlocked from the oil gathering tech (where you get the pumpjack). Creating your first batch of crude will unlock the oil processing tech just like mining some crude with pumpjack would, so progress will be as normal from there.

Let me know if you have any further problems! Cheers.

Thanks very much for the super-fast fix!!

I reloaded my game so I can confirm it does at least make the first recipe available when added to a game that didn't have it.

Happy Holidays!! :-)
