Diesel Machines introduces a suite of heavy-duty, liquid-fueled entities that operate completely off-grid. Trade electrical grids for fluid logistics and rely on the raw mechanical power of crude diesel engines. Most machines are stronger than their electric versions, which is balanced by the fact that they require a constant stream of fuel.
Machines that work as often stronger, non-electric counterparts to electric machines:
- Diesel fast inserter
- Diesel long-handed inserter
- Diesel assembling machine
- Diesel pump
- Diesel miner
- Diesel agricultural tower (Space Age)
- Diesel asteroid collector (Space Age)
Special machines that introduce something new in comparison to the base game:
- Portable diesel generator - A portable generator that requires constant powering by barrels of liquid fuel.
- Diesel extra-long-handed inserter - An inserter with one extra tile of reach in comparison to the standard long-handed inserter or the diesel long-handed inserter.
- Diesel cargo bulk inserter and Diesel cargo stack inserter (Space Age) - Slightly faster and wider than their electric counterparts. Both can literally move entire stacks of items.
