Barrel stages

by Tooster

Fixes inconsistency with all barrels unlocked at once, without unlocking required fluids (like lubricant barrel recipe without lubricant researched). Good for new players because it reduces overwhelm of new recipes in early game. Works great with mods adding new liquids.

In vanilla game all barrel recipes are unlocked at once. When I was new I got overwhelmed by the amount of new recipes and confused by mentions of fluids that were not yet unlocked for barrels. This was also the time I stopped enjoying getting notifications about unlocking new crafting recipes.

This mod tries to provide smoother experience by unlocks barreling recipes at appropriate stages:

Technology unlocked barreling recipes
Fluid Handling Water
Oil Processing Crude Oil, Petroleum
Sulfur Processing Sulfuric Acid
Advanced Oil Processing Light Oil, Heavy Oil
Lubricant Lubricant
Cryogenic Plant Fluoroketone

Starting from 2.0, It works great with mods adding new liquids — see gallery pictures (before and after). Kudos to macintacos for that feature!
