Cerys Methane Applications

Adds useful applications for Cerys methane gas. Methane can now be used to produce solid fuel, produce ammonia outside Aquilo, enhance Gleba plastic, yumako mash and jelly production and generate 500 °C steam with new Superheat methane boiler. Convenient methane conversion and transportation means are also included.

New technologies

• Methane processing, unlocks after:

  • Reverse-engineered science pack;

New entities

• Superheat methane boiler:
  • Consumes methane as a fuel (11.6 MW max. consumption);
  • Produces 120/s steam (500 °C) and can supply two steam turbines to produce electricity;
  • Produces 3 times less pollution than standard boiler (10/m);

New recipes:

• Solid fuel from methane;
• Methane sublimation;
• Methane ice dissociation for Cryogenic plant;
• Methane liquefaction;
• Methane regasification;
• Methane-based ammonia synthesis;
• Methane biosynthesis;
• Methane-based bioplastic;
• Methane-based yumako processing;
• Methane-based jellynut processing;

Existing saves

• Mod changes:
  • Properties of "methane" fluid;
• Mod does not change vanilla entity or item properties. Mod is mostly safe for using with existing save but it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to make backup before installing OR updating mod version (new major versions contain changes that break backward compatibility);

Compatibility

• Works well with Quality mod;

Would be glad to get suggestions for further mod improvements, bugfixes, etc. on my GitHub.
