Fuel Oil
alaindustrial:fuel_oil
Summary
Fuel oil is the heavy residue of distillation: 200 mB out of every bucket of oil, running down into the bottom tank of the Distillation Column. Thick and dark-brown; more hassle by volume and less by yield — exactly what a bottom fraction should be. Like diesel it neither burns nor drowns. You can fall into spilled fuel oil: thicker than diesel but thinner than crude — you sink more slowly and climb out by holding jump. Below the surface a dark brown film covers the screen.
Mini-example: a third pump at the base of the tower pulls fuel oil away into a separate tank — or put an empty bucket into the fuel oil slot in the interface.
Block Properties
| What | Value |
|---|---|
| Physics | spreads; does not burn, does not drown, no fall damage |
| Immersion | between diesel and crude (viscosity 2400): ≈6.8 blocks/s down, ≈1.7 blocks/s up while holding jump |
| Submerged | dark brown film on screen, fog 2.5 … 14 blocks |
| Regenerates | no |
| Collection | bucket, capsule, pump |
| Tag | c:fuel_oil (still + flowing) |
Progression
- A by-product of the column — it accumulates on its own while diesel is being distilled; if you do not take it away, a full bottom tank will halt the distillation.
- Its purpose is cheap fuel: the liquid fuel generator will burn it at 6 EU/FE/t (6 000 EU/FE per bucket) — half as strong as diesel.
- Included in the
c:combustion_fuelstag alongside diesel and lava.
