Gas Heat Stuff
This is a compilation of all my gas and heat mods to really change the energy conversion and heat system in Factorio up!
Check the attached image to see an overview of all the energy conversion methods!
All Content
More heat generation methods:
- Steam Heater - Low-tier heat generator using steam
- Electric Heater - Mid-low-tier heat generator using electricity
- Gas Heater - Mid-tier heat generator using gas
- Thermal Panels - From ZarSacha's forked mod Thermal Solar Power (Lite), but with some tweaks and integrations.
Gas energy conversion methods:
- Gas Boiler - Makes steam from gas
- Gas Generator - Generate electricity straight from gas
- Gas Furnace - Mid-high-tier furnace powered by gas
Heat-powered production:
- Heated Assembling Machine - Crafts concrete, engines, rocket fuel...
- Heated Chemical Plant - Cracking of oils, plastic, lubricant...
- Heated Furnace - High-tier furnace powered by nuclear reactors
Heat control:
- Heat Pump - Functions as both a pump, a valve and a relay of heat!
- Heat Sensor - From AwesomeCronk's Heat Sensor mod, but with new graphics.
- Thermal Accumulator - Stores heat and acting as a buffer
Additional Info
Use with Cheese's Concentrated Solar is not necessary, but highly recommended (It's a really good mod)!
Now has integrations for GotLag's Superheating, which I thought looked cool, and would fit well :)
Things to add later
- Gas and / or heat powered drills? Beacons? Trains?
- Electric Boiler (Probably just gonna extract it from SE, if I remember correctly that it is not in AAI Industry, but only in SE)
- Possibility for support between this and other gas / heat mods (Fx Heat Inserter by Kryzeth, Underground Heat Pipe by Quezler, Nonstandard Beacons by protocol_1903)
- Magma Heater (Just gotta figure out how to do it. Probably just gonna make another compound entity for it)
If you have ideas for things I'm missed or elements that should be configurable, let me know :)

Like the mod? Just wanna talk?
