About Barrels O' Fuel

From Factorio Mod Portal

any fluid with a fuel value can be used in barrel form

Barrels O' Fuel

lets you use barreled fuel in:

  • boilers
  • burners
  • vehicles
  • trains

Fuel Types

to be used as fuel, the barreled fluid must have a fuel value. you'll need a mod to either add a burnable fluid, or make a vanilla fluid burnable

this mod adds a fuel value to petroleum gas, light oil and heavy oil, if they don't already have one (can be disabled via settings)

some mods that add burnable fluid:

Spent Fuel

when a fuel barrel is used up, it leaves an empty barrel in the burner's spent fuel inventory. you'll need to pull them out when it gets full

all burners get modified to have at least as many spent fuel slots as they have fuel slots, including modded burners

Mod Compatibility

this should work with every mod that:

  • adds a burnable fluid
  • adds a burner generator/boiler/miner/etc.
  • adds a burner-powered vehicle
  • adds a new barrel type
  • changes the empty-barrel result (dirty barrels)

please let me know if a mod is incompatible!
