pY Coal Processing - Discussion

[pyanodon]

Description:

• Add several processes to break and improve coal to make it more valuable and useful in game.
  Add more than 30 new buildings, 100+recipes and ingredients.
  Not compatible Bob´s mods.
  Adjusted some vanilla recipes to be compatible with this mod.

This mod is not compatible with Angel´s mod yet, but it wont cause any bug, just duplicates.


Details:

• Factorio Version: 0.17+

LONG DESCRIPTION

Setting up the base mod for future expansions, this mod will turn the game more hard a bit and heavily focused on coal and steel. Advance and unlocks new fuels and generators to feed your base with constant high-supply turbines (that will stand until you keep them fed). Extract everything you can from coal and plan well, since your base wont be small! If you have Bob´s suit installed, it will be way more harder!

TO DO

• Make it compatible with Angels

Big thanks to Youki, Arch666Angel and Klonan
Also Big thanks for the amazing help Nexela is doing. This mod couldnt be real without his hard work
Special thanks to the fellow helpers:
Trainwreck
KepperMIEM


It recommended the use of any loader mod to feed some of the high consuming machines.

Change Log

• 0.3.4 = Balance settings in the Sand Extractor building and Ash Separation recipe
• 0.3.5 = Update ore-crusher to not conflict with Angels mod
• 0.3.7 = Balance settings and migration files. Fixed a progression blockage for who is playing in vanilla
• 0.3.8 = Added recipe for sodium-hydroxide. Added recipe for glass at early game. Fixed names
• 0.4.0 = Added Russian locale. Added 3 new fences. Fixed small bugs. Cooling towers now condense all ranges of steam temperatures.
• 0.5.0 = Balance some recipes. Rectisol, Filter and Evaporators have their pipe connections reworked. Removed niobium-pipes, tiles and tanks.Compatibility with PYFE added.
• 0.5.1 = Fixed small bug
• 0.5.2 = Balance some recipes for a more friendly game
• 1.0.0 = Compatibility wih 0.16 release. Lots of balances
• 1.0.3 = Several balances
  - Converted Niobium and Borax to minable ores. So now they spread around the map and must be mined with their own mining drills.
  - Added compatibilities with the new pyHightech Mod.
• 1.0.6 = Few balances, fixed fluids.
• 1.0.8 = Few balances, fixed advanced foundry recipes.
• 1.0.9 = Updated library.
• 1.0.10 = Some tuning.
• 1.0.11 = Added mk01 to mk04 versions of industrial buildings to be unlocked only under pyRO. Lots of balances and optimizations.

You say cleaner energy, do you mean nuclear?

Anyway, keeping an eye on this. Cheers.

Hi, just make russian tranlsation for your mod. Here locale folder

Oh.. nono. Nuclear will come in the vanilla game if i remember well. The goal in this mod is use actual knowledge of coal processing and a bit of scifi to generate energy from coal with very low emissions in late game with a big production chain. Is what people call today as "green coal". From the use of syngas to CO2 storage etc.

Thank you! I will update the file with that.

Hurray \o/ congratz to your first born

Hurray \o/ congratz to your first born

Thanks to you my friend! Now let´s see if i can make it compatible with your mammoth mod!

[steinio]

Great mod.
At last we get some nice things to do with all the coal after solar empire has raised.

[aklesey1]

Hi Pyanodon
question - we can do iron by processing coal?

[pyanodon]

Great mod.

Hahah solar empire will tremble with the raise of CO2 storage!! Hahaha. Thank you.

[pyanodon]

Hi Pyanodon
question - we can do iron by processing coal?

Yes... but very few. If you burn the iron oxide in any furnace, you will get iron ore. 1:1. Not enough to sustain a base, but will helps since coal have small parts of iron on it and the destructive destilation column can extract that lil iron.

Works also in 0.13.

Is the 8.9MW flare stack a bit OP?

Greetings steinio

Greetings steinio

Yes, it is. But that turbine eats a lot of syngas too. Next release i will do some balance things in that production.

[steinio]

Yes you are right.
I don't get a stable power supply without supporting steam engines for your factories but nearly 9MW feels to high comparing to a steam engine with 512kW.

Do you have ideas for more recipes for creasote. Didn't hear from it before today.
How about some tar tiles for roads?

Greetings steinio

Humm.. so you must produce more syngas to burn in that turbines. Try store in a tank, the turbine's consuption and pollution generation are variable with the power necessity. Next release will balance it better.

With blue science, creosote can be refined into crude oil in a very low yield and other recipes. With green science, Tar can be break into some syngas and use a special building to extract few minerals from it. The idea of using tar for roads is nice, i will add it in my schedule to transform tar into asfalt.

Thanks for your suggestions, was useful.

[steinio]

Nice.
I don't care about pollution but this seems also a bit low for burning gas.

Greetings steinio

[pyanodon]

Greetings!

Version 0.1.2 is released in the modportal with some balancing things:

- Energy generation of MK01 gas turbine was cut in 1/3.
- Iron oxide production cut in a quarter because it´s a subproduct of destructive distillation of coal.
- Coke production was reduced too since it burns better than coal.
- Added the russian locale, thanks to: deltdelt


Some important note: I making the second step in this mod to bring unlocks with the green science tier. So, to do that, i will need some ingredients that´s present into Bob´s intermediates. This mod will have that dependency in the near future when i release the 0.2.1 version. So keep that in mind when upgrading later. I will announce it better when time comes.

For now, here what i will bring to you in the second tier:



Steinio gave me that great idea of making asphalt, so it was added in my schedule.

[aubergine18]

This is looking spectacular! Can't wait to see this evolve!

I've not used any of the Bobs mods yet, so not sure what they do... What impact does installing Bob´s intermediates have on the game?

[aklesey1]

Its nice to see intersting addition which can use ideas from petrochem, i swear this mod can be good extrension for bob mods and angel mods

[kyranzor]

Neat, more horror to add alongside angel's mods
