Create: Petrochem

Create Petrochem is an addon for Create that introduces petroleum extraction and refining.

Machinery

This mod adds the following machines:

• Pumpjack - animated multiblock petroleum extractor.
• Electrolyzer - a modified mixer that uses electricity to perform electrolysis.
• Distillation Tower - a multiblock tower to perform distillation in 3 different methods.
• Flarestack - a simple burner to discard fluids.
• Gasoline Engine - portable and powerful rotation generator - 32kSU
• Diesel Engine - compact and super powerful rotation generator - 98kSU
• Gas Turbine - electric generator powered by LPG
• Steel pipe and derivates - steel variant of pipe, pump, valve and smart pipe.
• Steel fluid tank - steel variant of the Create fluid tank, base of the distillation tower.

Modes:

Base

simpler, straightforward recipes to get going:

• Desalting
• Flash, Atmospheric and Vacuum distillation

Expert - gregtech mode (upcoming)

in-depth petroleum refining recipe graph for experts, based on real life processes and adapted into a create addon. processes include but not limited to:

• Desalting
• Flash, Atmospheric and Vacuum distillation
• Hydrodesulfurization
• Mercaptan Oxidation
• Alkylation
• Delayed coking
• Propane deasphalting
• about 5 more…

Fluids & Materials

Crude Materials:

• Petroleum

Gases:

• Air
• Steam
• Chlorine

Intermediary Products:

• Light Naphta
• Heavy Naphta
• Desalted Oil
• Oil
• Oil Residue
• Heavy Oil Residue
• Heavy Gas Oil

Refined Products:

• Gasoline
• Kerosene
• Diesel
• Fuel Oil
• LPG
• Lubricant
• Petroleum Coke
• Asphalt

Metals:

• Bronze ingot, sheet
• Steel ingot, sheet, block
• Tin nugget

Others:

• Salt
• Caustic Soda

Note: Expert roughly doubles this list.

Why not X?

• TFMG - Ever tried getting any deep into tfmg? Glitches and unexplained mechanics are plentiful, the recipes are too simple (does not yield a cool refinery), and they ruined the pumpjack's aesthetic. No, 0 lines of code came off it.
• Diesel Generators - It's fine if you don't want anything fancy, this addon provides a much deeper (even in base mode) challenge and the refinery looks cooler.

Dependencies

• Create
• KubeJS Create (optional) - required if using KubeJS

Modpacks

Any modpack dev is allowed to use this mod without asking. In fact, I recommend you do so.

This is much more bug-free, compact and resourceful than TFMG.

KubeJS

This mod has a built-in KubeJS plugin for ease of development, will be providing examples here soon.
