Fuel Stuffs
-
Personally, i've seen a lot of engines. I don't mean to sound wrong but i'm pretty sure engines don't run on oil. I am however, grateful you've added diesel. You have probably gotten many requests for gasoline, but also a 50-50 mix would be nice, which in real life is 50% oil and 50% gasoline, used in small engines such as chainsaws.
In this case if gasoline or the mix or both are added, oil would be more important as a cooling agent transfering heat away from machines. It should not be cold though!
So thanks for reading this request.
Hope it's added!

@Moominer445544, your element has a much better chance of being added to the game if you explain what it does :D. For example, how would gasoline be different from oil and diesel? How would it behave? What color would it be?

actually, what I would do with gasoline is make it stick to solids like GEL does. It should have similar properties to oil as far as tirning to GAS but it probably should do it at a temperature of 22 C. After the life of GAS with the ctype of gasoline goes down to 0, it would turn into HYGN. That would give use to gasoline as a way to make hydrogen gas and make a factory. If you mix OXYG with gasoline, it will also have a chance of producing wtrv since it does turn into HYGN eventually. It would be fairly realisitc and would be useful. But of course, you would be able to revert GAS with a ctype of gasoline back to gasoline. As far as mixing with oil, if gasoline does, would "blend" with it and produce gasoline with a ctype of oil. The use of this is it would not vaporize and would produce more smoke than normal gasoline. It would also be able be able to absorb heat a lot better making it able to cool things. It would be useful in making engines, factories, and even bombs. (think napalm) This should help you out a bit @Moominer44544

randalserrano, you make very great points. Hopefully, moderators have red your comments. Thanks for your contributions!

Probably the only reason additional kinds of fuel haven't been invented is because most of the engines using them are already arbitrarily-based.
A new element with simple and straight-foward properties people will actually build an engine around without being asked or told about, maybe. :P
-
Does what we suggested have simple and straight forward properties though? I personally think they do even though it would be a slight challenge to code. Not impossible though.

If they transferred oil to more of a lubricator/heat transferer, then gasoline would take the place of oil. Then, instead of oil having fumes (a.k.a GAS) then GAS would be used incorporation with gasoline. GAS would have to be more volatile because gasoline fumes are highly flammable in real life. Gasoline would have the color changed to a sort of transparent color like true gasoline, and also would have to have more pressure involved to light it. The output pressure would have to be high though for good results.
Another thing I would like to bring up is fuel efficiency. For the engines I make, proportionally the fuel used is an enormous amount compared to the most gas gussling engine in real life.

Here is the thing with what you mentioned there. It would break a lot of saves if GAS were to be changed in that way. I personally think that OIL should stay the way it is because it has been in TPT for a very long time. It would confuse all those who have been using it over the years. It would be better to make a GSLN element (you like my abreviation?) and have the ctype of its "fumes" change the way it would react with things like pressure etc. I think there should have to be pressure and a spark (perferably from LIGH because SPRK is more like a glow plug) in order to ignight GSLN. Either that, or fire. As far as pressure goes, I do agree there should be quite a bit of it created when the right conditions are met.
-
You know, I didn't even think about that, breaking saves that is. So would oil be changed or stay the same if GSLN was added. And would we add GSLN fumes? Thanks for everyones support on this topic!
Feel free to add more points!
