Nothing. Just credit me and you'll be fine.

Long description
This is what you do if you're short on oil. Much like the Bergius Process mod by Klonan, but with a much longer processing chain. With Bergius Process you make liquifacted coal and dupe oil. Here, you have several steps:

Making sulfur from petroleum gas,
Making sulfate fertilizer from sulfur and stone (which will be your limiting factor in this production chain),
Making algae from water and sulfate fertilizer,
Making light oil from said algae,
And cracking said oil into gas to restart the cycle.

You'll also notice you can't make heavy oil from algae. This is to make oil still have a use once this chain is set up, at least for express belts and robot frames.

Finally, algae can be used to make nutrient paste, which is essentially an upgraded version of a raw fish.

Version history
Version 0.1.0: Basic release. No real point to the mod. Algae has literally 1 use: making solid fuel. But it's progress.
Version 0.1.1: Fixed some of the flavor text I added that was based around my old plans for the mod.
Version 0.1.2: Added Nutrient Paste, a healing item made with algae.
Version 0.1.3: Added an awesome German translation made by Mystery0us on Reddit.
Version 1.0.0: Changed focus of the mod to produce light oil from algae rather than "biodiesel". Thus it becomes quite like the Bergius process mod by Klonan. Also updated to 0.14.
Version 1.0.1: Added Russian translation made by deltdelt.
