TL;DR

Remove the overly complex and wasteful steps required to take sulphuric acid back to sulphur

What?

Add a recipe allowing sulphuric acid to be distilled into solid sulphur. A secondary byproduct could be water, steam, or heavy oil - or none at all.

Why?

If you're doing science on Vulcanus (for example, with a Vulcanus start), you need sulphur for blue science. Obtaining this requires coal liquefaction (either method) to create heavy oil and petroleum oils, then combining petroleum with water to make sulphur. In theory you can loop this back to adding iron and more water to make sulphuric acid. It would be logical to allow separation of sulphuric acid back into sulphur.

It removes complexity but in a way that is logical.

Are you annoyed at having to go through the entire oil processing chain to get sulfur on
Vulcanus, when there is sulfuric acid just coming out of the ground? Do you crave another byproduct to throw into lava?
Then this is the mod for you! Now acid neutralisation also produces 25 sulfur

Exists as a Mod

The idea of the game is not necesarily to be simple.
