Nevermind. It's nice to see an alternative where the oxygen is automatically emptied for a little bit simpler build !

I would like to keep the same process I have now.
But would be nice to have an alternative / addition just incase its needed.

I wish more mod developers made an alternative / additions to systems within game.
And let the player choose whether they would like it to replace or add to the system process within game or not by doing so within the config file.
or a GUI button selection ingame.

There are a few mods out there that replaces the entire process to do the same thing and completely ruin the entire process,
because the path it takes ruins the recipe for many other parts of the game.
I dont mind a challenge, its the entire replacement instead of adding to the process is that kills it.

the reason why I mention this is because many mod developers completely change the process to get the same resource.
instead of adding to the process to create new things from it.
such example would be, light oil. not many people are using light oil or lubricant. So why not make a new process ADDING to the process so users can use light oil and lubricant more for things within game.
making the process of oil factory more expandable and useable in many other ways, instead of just constantly replacing the same process over and over with different mods..
you can only cut a chicken the same way but so many times, until it starts to get monotonous.

this is why I ask.
thanks

I know what you are saying about some mods, they completely rework the recipes of the main game and can break a lot of stuff when you install them.
But all of my mods i create i make them so that they do not change anything in the base game, they wont break or alter any existing factory stuff you have, and can just be installed/removed with ease, and no worries about whether or not anything will break.

This mod serves as an additional way to create oil, alongside the traditional way of harvesting it from the ground. By installing it, you will see an additional research option in the game, which will unlock the recipes required.

I hope you try it out and enjoy it ;]

In addition to tree farm you can get free oil from the coal you make from wood. Although you would of course need a ginormous tree farm to supply the coal for a reasonable production. It's worth a try though, after all, green tech is always winning. With the new fluid logic system it is also possible to hold back some of the heavy oil to make more of it. All the nice things...

Oh yea you are totally right because the red blobs/balls are oxygen.
