He was referencing the character, not the film, the character is dumbo... Balls to it you're a modder, that makes you amazing anyway

IKn germany the film is also called Dumbo

So how does the wood gas generator and the gas engine work? Form the see in the files I need to place a hopper to feed them, but if I do so the hopper only gives me the normal food options for storage.
I'm probably overseeing something obvious but right now I'm lost -.-'

I thought i had added woodlogs to the core one, if not ill sort it as soon as im back.

qthk · October 12, 2014, 02:40:49 PM

I totally had no ideas on how to get the gas engine work, anyone?

skullywag · October 12, 2014, 02:57:39 PM

Dont worry the issue is mine, I was using the core hopper but due to conflicts with other mods I added my own, only I forgot to actually put it in the defs, ill redo it shortly. My apologies, huge derp on my part.

edit - actually whats the policy on overwriting core things like the hopper, I know JuliaEllie released the recipe nurse tool for this kind of thing with recipes but what about category defs on containers...might ask in help see if anyone can point me to a nice way of doing this without conflict or having to add my own hopper.

I found a bug, the picture is supposed to be 6 wind turbines, but its a white mush..

umm not sure have you tried restarting the game after turning on the mod, there shouldnt be any texture errors unless another mod is having them. Ive just tried the version from my github and its fine on my machine.

ive removed the woodgasgen and gasengine for now, I need to revamp them, they were only placeholder anyways and i dont have time to support something I was going to replace anyways.

I love the idea of that gas turbine, would have rework would be great, how about extend the wind turbine too?

Extend the wind turbine how?

For a start. Medium, or large wind tubrine?

skullywag, i for one am looking forward to the day the Wood=>Syngas Canister=>Syngast Engine Driven Generator process is back. Please do not abandon it entirely.

It would be awesome if it were possible to get two things from harvesting a crop, example: Potato Crop => (Potato + Biomass (rest of the plant)). If that were possible, then the syngas could be prepared not just from the wood, but also from the waste biomass generated out of agriculture (like it is in the real world).

Added an improved Thermal Generator, uses plasteel (300) so pushes it into later game slightly, I felt it was a nice upgrade. Doubles output of standard gen.

skullywag · October 27, 2014, 06:16:28 PM

To compliment the MK2 Genny, ive added a mk2 battery made from plasteel, 75% efficiency and double capacity.
