This mod allows the use of most 'organic' items - logs, vines, plant matter, and 'compressed organic' items, such as fossils, sewage, and ancient bones as fuel.
This mod also re-enables coal as fuel and adds the ability to use core fragments as well.


Full list of items that now give fuel in this mod:

Liquids: All 'water', including swamp and healing water (1 fuel unit), milk (1), slime (1), oil (2) and lava (3). That is, all liquids excluding poison - it corrodes the fuel tank and it's not good for the engine.

Items:
All types of logs, including 'alien' and 'rainbow' (1 fuel unit)
Alien wood sap (1)
Coal (2)
Gunpowder (1)
Core fragments (1) Finally, a use for those!
Fossil ore (2) - grind up those dino bones! (is this still obtainable now that fossils are in?)
Ancient bones (2)
Floran vine blocks, plant blocks, plant matter and plant platforms (1)
Cacti blocks (1)
Coconut blocks (1)
Magmarock (2) - not quite as effective as regular magma
Sewage (3)
Tar (2)
Waste and toxic waste (2)

Q&A:

Q. Does this work in multiplayer?
A. Only if the server has it installed. If you're running this mod on someone else's server that doesn't have the mod installed, it won't actually work.

Q. Why can't I use wood planks as fuel?
A. Because you can't set a decimal as a fuel integer, and it wouldn't make sense to give it as much as logs.

Q. Why does sewage give so much?
A. Those outhouses sure aren't doing anything useful. I gave it three units because it's not particularly common. I may edit this if requested.

Q. I don't want to have poo stinking up my hyperdrive.
A. You can still use anything else as fuel. Wuss.

<FINALLY! A mod that gives Toxic Waste a use! Outside of this mod, there doesn't seem to be any other use for it> :melon:

Frackin Mod is NOT that good it fact I made it almost entirely skip-able in my collection it clashes with mods it's good cause it combines alot of mods into one or a small number but still. Play my version I haven't been to all the biomes yet so it could still crash but my version here runs great and has nearly like 469 mods. Frackin has nuthing on my version/collection of mods which I use alot.

not really, I don't play FU and I haven't touched this game in several years.

any plans on making this interact with FU biostuffs? (i'm pretty sure some of those element canister things can be used as fuel. and a heck of a lot of other stuff too.)
