This Mod adds Oil.
Oil will be generated under Water.
You can use Pumps to pump Oil and you can use Pipes to transport it.
If you build a Refinery you can convert Oil into Fuel Buckets.
You can use the Fuel Buckets as Furnace Fuel.

I'm waiting for steampunk to come to minetest :D

Can you make oil power plant for mesecons?

Working on that...
It will use fuel.

Working on that...
It will use fuel.

You should make separate downloads for the mesecons itself and plugins for using mesecons with different mods (mesecons-gates, mesecons-oil etc).

Yeah that is what I am planning. I think I will also make a mesecons-core pack which only contains the core functions (switches, mesecons itself, pistons, meselamps, inverters (later repeaters);
And also mesecon-standard which contains all mesecons functions without dependencies on other mods.

Well, this is not the mesecons mod topic.
Good Job, sfan5! I think pipes should also be able to transport oil up and down...
And Refineries should add the fuel to their inventory (like chests). I am working on a chest-system for my mesecon-oil generators.

Später soll der Treibstoff noch durch Pipes gepumpt werden

Can someone help me with the fuel-to-energy-generator?
I am trying to simply create a 1x1 chest you can put fuel in (Or transfer it via pipes);

I'm getting this error when placing the node:



Code:



Can someone tell me why this doesn't work??? Seems like it cannot get the meta or something like that.
Anyway, Morechests mod works on with the same minetest version and I can't really see any difference.

Are you missing the whole code? Just past the code above behind the oil mod if you want to help finding the bug.

Preview looks promising, sfan5!

Try "... metadata_name: 'chest',"

Really enjoyed this mod!

Great mod ^_^ can't wait for the mesecon's support. How long does the oil deposit last? is it infinite or does it run out after some time?

Also I've found a few oil deposits that were just a 1x1 wide above water level and they don't overflow properly (like pictured above) until you build something next to them, is this normal?

EDIT: Nevermind it seems to have just been two of them the rest spread out when I get close ^_^.

I absolutely love this mod! It's on my server already :D

Would it be possible to add rare oil deposits that can be found on land?

EDIT: maybe something like this: http://minecraftbuildcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Oil

Also just put this live on my server and you made a lot of people very happy ^_^ although....I think 2 people are on the verge of war fighting over an oil deposit haha I think its time I add the gun mod.

It is conflicting with a lot of other mods and bugs that are in my minetest >~<
I think I gotta redownload it and filter through what I do and don't want..........

What mods is it conflicting with? also any errors in your debug log?

It has to do with the client I'm using. I downloaded the LoZ Temple of Time thing, and it was the whole client. And it had some weird thing in it that disallowed me to do a lot of normal crafting. Fixed now though

Sfan 5:

Not working. Morechests and luafurnace also use metadata name 'general' Any other suggestions?

I'll probably add this in 1.1

can't we just have a oil rush and old western texture pack, so it could be like cowboys looking for black gold.

so it can be themed.

New Preview Picture:

Ah man I can't wait ^_^

I wish we had the ability to add custom interfaces via lua so we could have a type of generator that would work like a furnace but would have a fuel level gauge :D

Thanks!

New release! Oh man it's going to be awesome!

Nice mod but the oil pump doesn't work if you aren't nearby. I did some testing of the mod and it seems if you have a rather long oil pipeline, and wait at the refinery it dries up. If you go over to the pump it begins pumping again. So if that isn't changed, long pipelines won't happen lol.

I think this is caused by minetest itself. It only calls the ABM function that pumps the oil if players are nearby.
Btw I created Mesecon Energy Generators, but there still seems to be a bug in the game itself (once again ^^), so that it cannot really produce energy. If someone is interested, this is the bug: Forum Post

I could probably easily put a monochrome effect on the textures and it'd look like the west :D
Because I am a fan of old western movies

Wow, awesome mod! Someone linked this in a thread I made, in which I'm looking to start a Buildcraft variant for Minetest. This looks like a basic feature that would be part of such a mod (not sure if what you plan to do next is the same thing). Anyway, I thought you'd like to know... since if you plan to add support engines, item pipes, and machines that build / mine, that pretty becomes what I'm looking for :)

Update!
Changelog:

• Updated for Digging-Time Groups
• Added Glass Fibre Cable and Energy Converter

Note: I won't update the Main Post with the Crafting Receipes and the Uses, beacause this a Dev-Release
