Add Cactus/Sugar Coke Option For Solid Super Fuels.

Add Cactus/Sugar Coke Option for Solid Super Fuels: Enhancing Fuel Processing in the CBD Line

As a member of the GTNH community, I am excited to propose an addition to the solid super fuel and magic super fuel recipes in the CBD line. The proposal involves introducing sugar and cactus coke as valid inputs for these recipes, providing players with more options for fuel processing and progression.

The Current State of Fuel Processing

In the current implementation, charcoal blocks are the primary input for solid and magic super fuel recipes. While charcoal is a reliable and efficient fuel source, it can be limiting for players who prefer to use alternative fuels. Sugar and cactus coke, on the other hand, offer a unique and interesting alternative to charcoal. However, without the ability to use these fuels in solid and magic super fuel recipes, players are forced to rely on charcoal or other less desirable options.

Proposal 1: Adding Recipes for Cactus/Sugar Coke

The first proposal involves adding recipes for solid and magic super fuel that accept cactus coke, sugar coke, or charcoal blocks as valid inputs. This approach is the most straightforward and has the fewest implications for the existing game mechanics. By adding these recipes, players will have the option to use sugar and cactus coke as fuel sources, providing a more diverse and interesting gameplay experience.

Proposal 2: Macerating Sugar/Cactus Coke into Charcoal Dust

The second proposal involves allowing sugar and cactus coke to be macerated into charcoal dust, which can then be compressed into charcoal blocks. This approach provides a more complex and involved process for using sugar and cactus coke as fuel sources. While it may seem more complicated, this approach has several benefits, including:

• Parity with Charcoal: By allowing sugar and cactus coke to be macerated into charcoal dust, players will have access to the same processing steps as charcoal, including the ability to make coal tar in a pyrolyse oven and create rocket fuel chains.
• Future-Proofing: This approach will allow for the inclusion of future charcoal options, such as being able to make coal tar in a pyrolyse oven and all the rocket fuel chains that opens up with kerosene and anthracene.
• ThaumCraft Aspects: This approach will also grant access to the easy alumentum production that charcoal enjoys, as sugar and cactus coke have not had any ThaumCraft aspects implemented on them.

The Benefits of Adding Cactus/Sugar Coke Options

By adding cactus and sugar coke options for solid and magic super fuel recipes, players will have more opportunities for progression and advancement in the CBD line. This will provide a more engaging and interesting gameplay experience, as players will have the option to use alternative fuels and explore new processing paths.

Conclusion

In conclusion, adding cactus and sugar coke options for solid and magic super fuel recipes will enhance the fuel processing experience in the CBD line. By providing players with more options for fuel processing and progression, this change will make the pack better and more engaging for players. I believe that this feature would make the pack better and I am excited to see it implemented.

  Q&A: Adding Cactus/Sugar Coke Option for Solid Super Fuels

As we continue to discuss the proposal to add cactus and sugar coke options for solid and magic super fuel recipes, we want to address some of the questions and concerns that have been raised. Below, we'll provide answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.

Q: Why do we need to add cactus and sugar coke options?

A: The current implementation of solid and magic super fuel recipes only accepts charcoal blocks as valid inputs. By adding cactus and sugar coke options, players will have more opportunities for progression and advancement in the CBD line, providing a more engaging and interesting gameplay experience.

Q: How will this change affect the existing game mechanics?

A: The first proposal involves adding recipes for solid and magic super fuel that accept cactus coke, sugar coke, or charcoal blocks as valid inputs. This approach is the most straightforward and has the fewest implications for the existing game mechanics. The second proposal involves allowing sugar and cactus coke to be macerated into charcoal dust, which can then be compressed into charcoal blocks. This approach provides a more complex and involved process for using sugar and cactus coke as fuel sources.

Q: Will this change affect the balance of the game?

A: The balance of the game is an important consideration, and we want to ensure that this change does not disrupt the existing balance. By adding cactus and sugar coke options, we are providing players with more opportunities for progression and advancement, but we are not changing the underlying mechanics of the game.

Q: How will this change affect the ThaumCraft aspects of the game?

A: The second proposal involves allowing sugar and cactus coke to be macerated into charcoal dust, which can then be compressed into charcoal blocks. This approach will grant access to the easy alumentum production that charcoal enjoys, as sugar and cactus coke have not had any ThaumCraft aspects implemented on them.

Q: Will this change affect the ability to make coal tar in a pyrolyse oven and create rocket fuel chains?

A: Yes, the second proposal will allow players to make coal tar in a pyrolyse oven and create rocket fuel chains using sugar and cactus coke, providing a more diverse and interesting gameplay experience.

Q: How will this change affect the community?

A: We believe that this change will have a positive impact on the community, providing players with more opportunities for progression and advancement. This will lead to a more engaging and interesting gameplay experience, which will attract and retain players.
