ENGINE UNITS NEED LUBE
In vanilla Factorio, lubricant is required for electric engines, but not for combustion engines. This is almost the reverse of reality; combustion engines require far more lubrication than electric ones. This mod changes that, making lubricant a requirement for all engine units.
Main features
- Emgine Units now require Lubricant to produce.
- The tech tree is adjusted so that you can indeed produce lubricant without engine units:
- Lubricant tech is now a prerequisite for engine tech.
- Because lubricant requires advanced oil processing which requires chemical science packs, chemical science packs no longer require engine units; they require crude oil instead. (Doesn't that make them feel more chemical anyway?)
