Hello I know this mod is deprecated but I was hoping to make a request since you are currently working with the IR3 stuff. I absolutely loved how canisters were handled in IR3, so I'm asking if they can be implemented in the same way in this mod. From steam to any other burnable fuel source. They were always my go to for supplying power to trains and far off outposts.

I will probably do something in this area, but not exactly sure. But "empty" canisters that are returned is not something I will be implementing. Productivity bonus ruins that mechanic, one empty canister in a recipe produces up to three out, hard to deal with.

When playing with Krastorio 2, Space Exploration or, Space age you can get a recycler/crusher that destroys the excess canisters. Which is something I'd be fine with doing. One thing I can think about to get around this is to make it so rocket fuel is produced as a liquid with productivity, then use a canister in a assembler to make it a barreling recipe with productivity disabled.

I might make an alternate fuels mod, I use one personally. However, I will not be modifying the rocket fuel recipe, that lesson was learned with Canisters. There are three vanilla recipes and some planets add more. Rocket fuel is integral to Space Age.
