Description

Create Petrochem is an addon for Create that introduces petroleum extraction and refining.

Machinery

This mod adds the following machines:

  • Pumpjack - animated multiblock petroleum extractor.
  • Electrolyzer - a modified mixer that uses electricity to perform electrolysis.
  • Distillation Tower - a multiblock tower to perform distillation in 3 different methods.
  • Flarestack - a simple burner to discard fluids.
  • Gasoline Engine - portable and powerful rotation generator - ~49kSU
  • Diesel Engine - compact and super powerful rotation generator - ~130kSU
  • Gas Turbine - electric generator powered by LPG
  • Steel pipe and derivates - steel variant of pipe, pump, valve and smart pipe.
  • Steel fluid tank - steel variant of the Create fluid tank, base of the distillation tower.

Modes:

Base

simpler, straightforward recipes to get going:

  • Dessalinization
  • Flash, Atmospheric and Vacuum distillation

Expert - gregtech mode (upcoming)

in-depth petroleum refining recipe graph for experts, based on real life processes and adapted into a create addon. processes include but not limited to:

  • Desalinization
  • Flash, Atmospheric and Vacuum distillation
  • Hydrodesulfurization
  • Mercaptan Oxidation
  • Alkylation
  • Delayed coking
  • Propane deasphalting
  • about 5 more

Fluids & Materials

Crude Materials:

  • Petroleum

Gases:

  • Air
  • Steam
  • Chlorine

Intermediary Products:

  • Light Naphta
  • Heavy Naphta
  • Desalted Oil
  • Oil
  • Oil Residue
  • Heavy Oil Residue
  • Heavy Gas Oil

Refined Products:

  • Gasoline
  • Kerosene
  • Diesel
  • Fuel Oil
  • LPG
  • Lubricant
  • Petroleum Coke
  • Asphalt

Others:

  • Salt
  • Caustic Soda

Note: Expert roughly doubles this list.

Why not X?

  • TFMG - Ever tried getting any deep into tfmg? Glitches and unexplained mechanics are plentiful, the recipes are too simple (does not yield a cool refinery), and they ruined the pumpjack's aesthetic. No, 0 lines of code came off it.
  • Diesel Generators - It's fine if you don't want anything fancy, this addon provides a much deeper (even in base mode) challenge and the refinery looks cooler.

Dependencies

  • Create
  • Create: Alloyed
  • KubeJS Create (optional) - required if using KubeJS
  • [Some Wire Mod] - The mod by now does not include it's own wires, therefore use a mod such as Create: Crafts & Additions or Create: New Age for wires.

Modpacks

Any modpack dev is allowed to use this mod without asking. In fact, I recommend you do so.

This is much more bug-free, compact and resourceful than TFMG.

KubeJS

This mod has a built-in KubeJS plugin for ease of development, will be providing examples here soon.
