Useful Liquid Biofuel

General Concept:

Liquid biofuel is a fuel source, and such its only use is either in a fuel generator or packaged in vehicles. But by the time you get access to either of those you already have access to proper oil based fuels and thus liquid biofuel is useless.

This mod strives to make Liquid Biofuel an early game fuel source by unlocking fuel generators and packagers much earlier. This will offer an interesting alternative to the coal power in the early game, Coal can still be fully automated where Biomass collection cant so that is a choice you got to make. If you do end up going for an early Fuel Generators setup you can hook them up to oil based fuels later when you get access to them.

This mod alters the following:

New building: Mixer

Allows water to be mixed with a solid to create a liquid, this can be used to mix the following recipes:

• Water + Solid Biofuel -> Liquid Biofuel
• Water + Sulfur -> Sulfuric Acid
• Water + Bauxite -> Alumina Solution *
• *after unlocking the Sloppy Alumina alternative recipe

Tier 2

Adds a new Milestone at the end Biofuel Processing this milestone will let you build a Water Extractor, Pipes, Fuel Generator and the Mixer. These buildings allow you to turn your Solid Biofuel into Liquid Biofuel that can be burned in the generator.

Tier 3

Extends Tier 3: Vehicular Transport with a Biodegradable Canister (build in the constructor) and Packager so you can now power your early vehicles on Packaged Liquid Biofuel. Unlocking this milestone will also allow the Coated Iron Canister and Steel Canister alternative recipes to be researched.

Other changes:

• Alters the build costs of a Fuel Generator to resources available in Tier 2.
• Alters the build costs of a Packager to resources available in Tier 3.
• Improves the energy value of Liquid Biofuel from 750 MJ/m3 to 1125 MJ/m3.
• Unlocking Turbo Fuel in the MAM, will also add a Liquid Biofuel based Turbo Fuel recipe to the Blender
• Unlocking Gas Nobelisk in the MAM, will also add a Liquid Biofuel based Gas Nobelisk recipe to the Blender

TODO: The new mixer building uses the model of a packager, i want to replace this in the future, but haven't found anyone able to model it yet
