Oxygen-acetlyene is a pair of fuels for gas welding, using Oxygen and Petroleum Gas would yield a similar result... though this system is designed to produce small concentrated flames for creating extreme heat, igniting a gas is very fast and short range. Typical flamethrowers use a fluid or gel based system, they ignite the gel, and spray it, which then sticks to things as it burns, producing a longer lasting, and longer range effect.

Tunnelling and Flying enemies... well, again, either not possible, or difficult and messy, because you're changing entity prototype behaviour beyond what it was designed to do.

• Item disposal/recycling - Some recipes produce side products you don't need in that amount or not at that time. Would be great if you could get rid of that stuff, so you don't have to destroy and rebuilt full chests from time to time.
• Usage for "dead end products" - It would be cool if some earlier recipes (armoured train, base accumulator) could be upgraded to newer recipes (train mk3, {fast/slow/high capacity} accumulators mk2).

However, I was able to spawn Carbon using the Lua console, so it seems that the item itself is in the game, but somehow the recipe is being lost?

I've attached my mod-list.json for reference, but I'm not seeing an incompatibilities.

The other complicating factor is that this is a headless server running on Ubuntu 16.07, though as far along as the game gets, I'm disinclined to believe that that is the issue. Also tested the save file locally and I'm not able to get any Carbon. Any ideas?
