It Will be fine if were able to work with KS power diesel…

thanks for the hint. i didn't find any mods adding diesel so i removed it. support for KS power diesel is added with version 0.18.2

Pyanodon uses diesel and gasoline, but also kerosene and fuel-oil. Thanks to you :)

added support for pyanodon diesel in version 0.18.3

Thanks!!!

Do you have a config file we can add any fluid we want, like the original diesel trains did?

No currently not. the old mod actively went through all existing fluids and could work that way. This mod currently only looks for specific fluids. I assume to add custom fluids you would unpack the mod zip file and edit the config.lua file in there? I could write up something similar, but (especially for multiplayer games) it would actually be easier to just put a simple mod on top of this one that adds a new fluid to the diesel locomotive. I'll write up a guide on that tomorrow.

Yeah, unpack the mod is what I did. I have no plans to do anything in multiplayer, but you probably should make it easier if you do it.

i'll write up the approach using a custom mod. that's the quickest way for me. i'll look into adding a config file later, there are some caveats to consider there (e.g. what about barrels for custom fluids) so it may take some time

I added a short write-up on how you could add custom fluids. while it may be a bit more involved than previously for me it still is the preffered way as it ensures nothing will break if multiplayer is involved. Let me know if you still require a config.lua file in the mod package.

I'm no stranger to modding, should be fine.
