[DEVBLOG#186] Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded (Patreon)

Hey guys! I come to you with infographics for the new mod we're dropping on the testing server today. It's called...

Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded is a small mod created to showcase what the new Pipe network code is capable of in Vanilla Expanded framework. It adds a simple chain to extract Deepchem from the underground pockets and refine it into Chemfuel. It also adds storage solutions for both Deepchem and standard chemfuel, alongside a few structures including a Refinery and Chemfuel tap. Player can now connect any refuelable chemfuel-powered structures to the pipe network to make sure everything refuels automatically.

You will probably notice similarities with Rimefeller - and rightfully so. Both Rimefeller and Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded add a similar mechanic of obtaining and refining a resource into another resource. Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded is less convoluted and does not include things like Plastic, and it also doesn't add oil, but a deepchem resource, which fits vanilla more, in my opinion, as oil would be hard to come across on a terraformed planet.

Furthermore, method of finding deepchem is more streamlined - simply use the deep-mineral scanner to find pockets of it.

Anyway, lets take a look at what the mod has to offer!

So yeah, that's it. Pretty simple, as you can see. I even supplied a diagram how to set up the network!

Let me know what you think!
