      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too!

      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Oil! [not petroleum]

82 posts in this topic

I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but I couldn't find it.

Oil was extremely useful to early civilization. It was pretty much essential to cooking past open fires, and it allowed people to have lit homes (for a stick on fire will only last an hour at most, while an oiled cloth will last days, and lanterns can last weeks). If this isn't planned as a part of the agriculture updates, I would seriously suggest including it.

I am generally in favor of nonpolar hydrocarbons being implemented.

As long as it doesn't become Tekkit or something I'm fine with the idea in moderation.

no he's not talking about crude oil, he's talking about oil from animal fats and oils like that,

oils that are used for cooking, lantern fuel, torches, and other things like that

I am, of course, referring to oil, as in of Olive or rendered animal fats. Organic Oils, not Mineral Oils (such as petroleum or Crude Oil).

I like this, very much. How does one go about getting oils from a fatty animal or an olive? What is the process we would need to do?

well for olive oil, you just crush the olives and collect the oily residue

animal fats usually have to be "rendered" off of the meat by cooking or boiling

It would be interesting to see mineral oils within the mod as well, though i am totally in support of rendering oils from animal products for lighting and other uses.

on a side note

if you do use build craft with this mod, the build craft oil spawns at the old ground lvl

any ideas as to how to change that ?

but honestly, mineral oil didnt have much of a use untill combustion engines were invented,

except maybe pouring hot tar on invaders -hehehe-

Actually, the first internal combustion engines used what today is called 'green' fuels. They didnt actually use crude until later after people discovered how to refine it. Then there was some ad campaign or something that made it popular.

buut i still dont think combustion engines are within our timeframe, so your point is moot

Although I really am into working with oil ingame since I'm petroleum engineer, I don't know how it could fit TFC. Even if combustion engines are just the tip of the iceberg of its uses. It was used to build the walls and tower of Babylon, asphalt had always some sort of application in human history but it can be ignored, the only good application I can see of it in this mod is for lighting.

And cooking. you can't cook anything on a real stove without olive oil or lard or butter. I don't want to eat roast all game.

Yeah, but I was talking about mineral oil, Petroleum. I don't think you can cook with petroleum... But I may be wrong...
