Rename FlameThrower Ammo to Fuel

Post by AgentDove »

Rename he flame thrower ammo to fuel and have it used in boilers, cars, trains, etc. and still used as flamethrower ammo.
(partly due to the fact that i had almost 2k of flamethrower fuel produced and holding space isn't fast enough :P)
The biggest cause of train destruction in my world is me... ignoring signals.

And then we might get the diesel locomotive to actually run off diesel.
As long as we get a steam train that looks really cool to go with it.

"Jellied Fuel"

Sounds like a good idea +1

Use flamethrower fuel as fuel

Post by EditorRUS »

Coolstory: At the time I have literally PILES of flamethrower ammo left from my old factory (I rebuilded it) and don't know where to use them. For some reasons I can't use them as fuel and so I suggest to make flamethrower ammo burnable.
Why do I have so much? Because I hadn't hit "Advanced oil processing" fast enough and my fluid tanks was filled full with heavy and light oils. So I decided to convert them in flamethrower fuel. After few hours of playing I found myself having 2.6K flamethrower ammo. Holy crap. Now I don't know where to put these.

Next time, turn them into solid fuel and you won't have this problem ;)

Not really practical to try using it as generic fuel, as its properties when burning aren't those you look for in a fuel. It burns unevenly and leaves heavy residue.
I'm not saying it can't be used, but I wouldn't try and use it in anything that wasn't specifically designed for it.
You could always mod in a flamethrower fuel-compatible boiler. ;)

Off-topic, but I love these technical replies. :)
