Change the way the Fuel Generator works
Hello,
I am a begginner at modding, and just wanted to make a "simple" mod (that's what I first though) for my friend and me.
I'll explain there : My friend had a great idea, make a challenging world where we can't use infinite power (coal, normal fuel or nuclear) and see where we can go. It means we need to farm mobs to get energy through their proteins, by changing them into solid biofuel. Thanks to the somersloop, we can have a massive amount of solid biofuel, and put it into a massive amount of biomass burners.
We wanted to double the production, by transforming this solid biofuel into liquid biofuel (using the somersloops again). This would have require less space, and produce a bit more than twice the amount of energy. But there is a problem : while the biofuel burner only produce what is consumed, the fuel generator always consume to produce the maximum amount of energy (so we would be in lack of resources quickly).
That's where I wanted to create a mod, where fuel generator, while using liquid biofuel, would work in the same way as the biofuel burner. I don't know if that is possible, but while following the tutorial for making a mod and looking into the parameters of the generators, I found the thing I want to change : Untick "the M is Full Blast" (see image of the post) on the fuel generator (it would means every fuel would work like this, but I don't really care because we won't use any other fuel).
That's where I understood that, in the tutorial, they tell you how to CREATE something, but not how to MODIFY something already existing. I found another tutorial about "Overwriting and Modifying Existing Content" but this seems very complicated for a beginner like me.
That's why I am coming to you :
1) Do you know how to do it simply ? Do you think I can do this ?
2) DO you think it is possible to modify the way the fuel generator works with only the liquid biofuel ? (if not, this is not a big deal, but that would be interesting)
Thank you, Noctolis
