About Barrels O' Fuel
From Factorio Mod Portalany 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:
- natural gas adds natural gas (!!!)
- krastorio 2 makes some vanilla fluid burnable
- space exploration adds liquid rocket fuel
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!
