If you'd like, it might be best to wait a week or so for any bug reports or issues to be resolved

Looks nice, finally a usable way to get rid of excess oil products
However, why do you need the steam item?
How about (Water x°C + Oil) -> (Water 100°C), where consumption of Oil is a function of (100 - x)

The heating of the fluid in the box is/was rather unpredictable, and it worked better with a larger fluid size, and by using my own fluid I could tweak the flow and energy values to work to what i intend, rather than being confined by the values already in place for water. I would have had to balance the boilers in different ways if I used water, and I don't think i would like it as much that way.

What's the current fuel efficiency for each type of oil? and how does it compare to light oil > Solid fuel > Normal Boilers, assuming using 10 Steam engines

It would also be nice to have a petroleum gas burning recipe as well, just to complete the list. Reason is when your factory backs up for some reason, you might get an excess of petrol which would cause refinery production to halt. Moreover, is it not possible to autoselect the recipe based on what shows up at the input like furnaces do?

That would probably require it to be a furnace, and furnaces don't support fluids yet, as far as I know.

.
The recipes for the burning are all balanced around one another, but i haven't worked out the efficiency compared to solid fuel. It does produce less pollution though

Petroleum gas... isn't an oil... besides it's the most precious oil product for your factory, I wouldn't want to be enabling peoples poor decisions.

You're right as far as i know.

Is it just me or are the sprites off 90 degrees in those screenshots, looking at the pipe in/out connections?

I see your point in not making a petroleum gas burning option, and I still love this mod to no end. It seems to be a far more efficient way than using solid fuel & vanilla boilers. Any indication of a 0.12.x version perchance?

This mod looks awesome!
May I add a comment: When I where in Prague about two month ago I talked with Albert a lot. He told me, the Factorio-Look is, that it is fully functional, but looks a bit broken, crappy, as it will break. That would be cool here, especially with those fat boilers, that look, as if the will explode every moment.

Haha yea i love the factorio aesthetic!
Based on your suggestion I decided to adjust the saturation and lightness levels of the sprite to make it fit in more with the look of the vanilla factorio stuff, It isnt much but i hope it makes it just a little bit more comfortable to the eye.
The OP has been updated with the latest download

See this is the problem I have with yuokais stuff. It looks shiny and new! I want old dirty diesel engines, greasy inserters, rusted assembly machines....
