Mekanism Diesel Generators 1.4.0
Curse Maven Snippet
What's new
1.4.0: make your own fuel
Five fuel machines (single blocks that unfold into a 3 x 3 machine, Mekanism-style screen, EMI / JEI pages drawn like Mekanism's):
- Oil pumpjack: crude oil from the ground, only under deserts (each chunk has its own deposit, 15 to 100 %, never runs dry). Animated with a real linkage: crank, pitman arms, walking beam, horse head, bridle and polished rod all stay connected.
- Refinery: crude oil into diesel, gasoline, kerosene and heavy fuel oil (5 000 FE/t).
- Oil press: seeds into vegetable oil, plus press cake for the digester.
- Biodiesel reactor: vegetable oil + ethanol into biodiesel.
- Engine oil blender: heavy fuel oil + an additive into engine oil.
- Port configuration like Mekanism: every port is input, an output of your choice or closed (top-right button).
- Speed and energy upgrades (Mekanism's own upgrade items, up to 8 of each, same formulas as Mekanism).
- A V16 can run straight off two refineries and four pumpjacks, with no tank in between, and power them itself with room to spare for a medium three-phase motor (guide page "Making your own fuel").
Create
- Several sources on one Create network now share the load by capacity (three-phase motors, small motors, the TDI, the shaft coupling, alongside Create's own generators). Before, each one took the whole stress and tripped.
New and improved
- Update notice: a chat message on world join when a newer version is out on CurseForge (client option
updateCheck). - Jade tooltip (optional): engine state, fuel, water, and what keeps an engine from running.
- EMI / JEI fuel pages per engine: output, full-load use, FE per mB.
- Horizontal exhaust outlet for lines that leave through a wall.
- Marine engine collides like its model: walkways you can walk on, ladders you can climb.
- M key: machine sound volume 100 % / 20 % / muted.
- Fluid gauges fill exactly the inside of the gauge (machine screens and recipe pages).
- No more z-fighting on any model.
- Discord: https://discord.gg/s3vz8nFWxE (also in the mod list).
Fixes
- Power reading going negative above 8 192 kW.
- Marine engine nearly silent while running.
Texture packs by the community: a texture template (every texture, UV maps, pipe locations, README) is on the mod page as an editable base, with two example packs (Create style, GregTech style).
