Wood does burn


Wood does burn, and wood still burns: small electric poles and wooden chests work as fuel again in stationary burners (furnaces, boilers, ...), but not in vehicles or burner inserters. The fuel value is derived from the wood in the recipe (default: 0.75MJ per pole, 3MJ per chest). Thanks to sakuro, whose Wood Still Burns kept this feature alive on Factorio 2.1.20 and introduced the recipe-based fuel values.

Version: 4.2.0
Date: 2026-11-11
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed the load error on Factorio 2.1.20 and newer (fuel_category was replaced by fuel_categories)
  Features:
    - Fuel values are derived from wood's fuel value and the wood in the recipe, so changes by other mods are reflected (adopted from Wood Still Burns by sakuro)
    - Startup setting "Energy recovery rate" (0 to 1, default 0.75; 0 disables the fuel values) (adopted from Wood Still Burns by sakuro)
    - Other mods can register their own wooden items through a mod-data prototype with data_type "wood-still-burns.items"; see README.md (adopted from Wood Still Burns by sakuro)
    - Translations: German, French, Spanish, Russian, Czech
  Changes:
    - Requires Factorio 2.1.20 or newer
    - Incompatible with Wood Still Burns; both mods do the same job
    - Licence.txt includes the copyright notice of Wood Still Burns by sakuro (MIT) for the adopted parts
    - Wooden chests and small electric poles use their own fuel category "wooddoesburn-scrap" instead of "chemical"
    - Only stationary burners accept them; locomotives, cars, spidertrons and burner inserters do not
    - Items that already have a fuel value from another mod are no longer overwritten (adopted from Wood Still Burns by sakuro)
    - The mod no longer replaces the whole item prototypes, it only sets the fuel properties
