Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded - Fuel Extraction, Refining and Pipelines for RimWorld

Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded adds an underground fuel resource and a straightforward production chain for turning it into chemfuel. Build extraction equipment, refineries and storage, then distribute fuel through pipes to keep your colony supplied.

From underground deposits to usable fuel

Use the ground-penetrating scanner to locate pockets of Deepchem. Pumpjacks extract this resource, and refineries process it into standard chemfuel.

Deepchem cannot directly power chemfuel-consuming equipment. It must be refined first.

The module includes:

• Pumpjacks for extracting Deepchem.
• Refineries for producing chemfuel.
• Storage tanks for Deepchem and finished fuel.
• Pipes and chemfuel taps for distribution and access.

Automate refuelling

Connect refuellable chemfuel-powered structures to the pipe network to supply them automatically. A developed extraction and refining system can provide large quantities of fuel for a late-game colony.

The mod uses the pipe-network system in Vanilla Expanded Framework, which other mod authors can also use for their own resources and machinery.

Requirements and compatibility

Requires Vanilla Expanded Framework.

Compatible with Combat Extended and designed to coexist with other oil, refining and pipe mods, including Rimefeller. Coexistence does not imply that their separate networks share resources automatically.

Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded can be added to an existing save.
