Create: Diesel Generators
by GeorgeVI
With Create: Diesel Generators installed, Create gains compact diesel engines, crude oil refining and a set of simple industrial machines.
What it does
The addon adds compact diesel generators, which Create's engine blocks use as a fuel-driven power source. Its industrial content covers chemical turrets, chemical sprayers, pumpjacks that draw crude oil, bulk fermenters, oil barrels and canisters for storing and moving fluids. Track layer bags and a crude oil refinery produce gasoline, diesel and other fuels from the extracted oil.
Create is required, so it must be installed with this addon. Strut Your Stuff (Struts) is an optional dependency that the mod can use when it is present. Ten other catalog mods require Create: Diesel Generators, among them Create Railways Refuelled, CBC: Chemical Warfare, Create: Structures Molo, Create Aeronautics: Carworks and Create Diesel Generators [Sky Islands].
Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge, with game versions 1.18.2 – 1.21.1 covering four release versions. The latest Forge file is 1.20.1-1.3.12 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.21.1-1.3.15 for 1.21.1. Both sides must run the mod, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Compact diesel generators
Diesel generators act as compact engines that power Create machinery from a liquid fuel supply.
Crude oil pumpjacks
Pumpjacks extract crude oil, which feeds the refinery and the fuel production chain.
Refinery output
The refinery turns crude oil into gasoline, diesel and other fuels for the generators.
Chemical turrets and sprayers
Chemical turrets and sprayers are industrial blocks that distribute fluids across a build.
Fluid storage and transport
Oil barrels, canisters and track layer bags hold and carry fluids between machines.

Use cases
Fuel-driven factories
Players who run Create machinery can power it with diesel engines instead of other sources.
Oil-to-fuel chains
Pumpjacks, the refinery and bulk fermenters form a chain from crude oil to usable fuel.
Who it’s for: Players who already build with Create and want fluid-based power and oil processing, and server owners who run Create packs that need diesel machinery.
