Immersive Petroleum

Players first survey for an oil deposit that lies out of reach, sealed beneath solid rock far below the surface. The Core Sample Drill reveals reservoirs, and once a source is found, Pumpjacks are placed to raise Crude Oil to the surface. Bedrock-piercing Oil Derricks are planned as a later addition.

Crude Oil is processed in a large Distillation Tower, a multiblock that heats the oil so its layers separate by boiling point. Output from this build includes Diesel, Gasoline, Lubricant and Bitumen. Diesel is a less environmentally friendly, longer-burning alternative to Biodiesel, while Gasoline is included as a fuel. Lubricant speeds up machines, and Bitumen is the sticky byproduct used to make Asphalt paving. Portable Generators and a Motorboat are also included.

The initial version already includes what is needed to start building an oil network, including the Pumpjack, Distillation Tower, Portable Generator, Lubricant, Automatic Lubricator, Motorboat, Projectors and Asphalt paving. The mod is released with All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with a Forge build 4.3.0-36b for 1.20.1 and a NeoForge build 4.5.0-39 for 1.21.1.
