[Release] Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded
Added 2022-04-11 17:36:02 +0000 UTCVanilla Chemfuel Expanded is a small mod created to showcase what the new Pipe network code is capable of in Vanilla Expanded framework. It adds a simple chain to extract Deepchem from the underground pockets and refine it into Chemfuel. It also adds storage solutions for both Deepchem and standard chemfuel, alongside a few structures including a Refinery and Chemfuel tap. Player can now connect any refuelable chemfuel-powered structures to the pipe network to make sure everything refuels automatically. This mod is not trying to dethrone Dubs Rimefeller, or anything like this.
Our programmer, Kikohi, developed a pipe network code that’s available in the framework. Any modder can use it to add their own pipe networks into the game, as well as machines that consume the new resources.
This mod serves as a Vanilla Expanded proof of concept, adding a brand new resource that needs to be found using a deep-mineral scanner and refined. You can now gain huge quantities of chemfuel in late game if you want to create the required refineries and pumpjacks!

Wanted to also chime in and say im sorry so many people misinterpreted your intent. I'm also very happy to have lighter weight options like this.

2022-04-12 02:23:32 +0000 UTCThats a good point. I guess its back to scanning up mounds of underground salt lol.

2022-04-12 02:07:40 +0000 UTCThat would be stretching it, but maybe!

2022-04-12 01:04:21 +0000 UTCUnfortunately not, it's just a normal resource in the pool of scannable resources. It would be slightly too OP if you could on-demand find deposits of... what, 20k chemfuel total? :P

2022-04-12 01:04:03 +0000 UTCThank you for this, always wanted a light Rimefeller replacement! Also with the new pipe code would this allow for some kind of conveyor belt similar but more streamlined than Rimfactory?

2022-04-12 00:19:49 +0000 UTCIs it possible to scan for only deepchem, or increase the odds of finding deepchem? It seems like the odds of finding it using each scan are pretty slim.

2022-04-11 23:35:41 +0000 UTCI was mad I could not comment and then I remembered... I'm a patreon! Just to say "I love it" and "I get it" I had actually cut back on mods that added 'too much stuff' and this is a great Rimfeller replacement. Total out of the blue surprise too.
2022-04-11 22:19:36 +0000 UTCWhat's the over/under on seeing an addon that ties into VFE: Settlers, with some wind or wood powered lower tech systems to get that kinda twilight of the wild west when the oil industry was gearing up bigtime?

2022-04-11 21:26:48 +0000 UTCYes, but we can't do it without breaking all the saves. We have to wait for a RimWorld update that will require new saves.

2022-04-11 20:41:56 +0000 UTCI'm also interested if there are any plans to rework the Helixien system, or retroactively introduce pipes into other existing systems.

2022-04-11 20:16:48 +0000 UTCDoes this mean there could be a pipe network rework in the future for other VE mods like VFE Power?
