Useful Liquid Biofuel
Makes liquid biofuel useful as an early game fuel source
Description
General Concept:
Liquid biofuel is a fuel source, and such its only use is either in a fuel generator or packaged in vehicles. But by the time you get access to either of those you already have access to proper oil based fuels and thus liquid biofuel is useless.This mod strives to make Liquid Biofuel an early game fuel source by unlocking fuel generators and packagers much earlier. This will offer an interesting alternative to the coal power in the early game, Coal can still be fully automated where Biomass collection cant so that is a choice you got to make. If you do end up going for an early Fuel Generators setup you can hook them up to oil based fuels later when you get access to them.
This mod alters the following:
##New building: Mixer
Allows water to be mixed with a solid to create a liquid, this can be used to mix the following recipes:`Water` + `Solid Biofuel` -> `Liquid Biofuel`
`Water` + `Sulfur` -> `Sulfuric Acid`
`Water` + `Bauxite` -> `Alumina Solution`
after unlocking the `Sloppy Alumina` alternative recipe
##
Tier 2
Adds a new Milestone at the end `Biofuel Processing` this milestone will let you build a `Water Extractor`, `Pipes`, `Fuel Generator` and the `Mixer`. These buildings allow you to turn your `Solid Biofuel` into `Liquid Biofuel` that can be burned in the generator.##
Tier 3
Extends `Tier 3: Vehicular Transport` with a `Biodegradable Canister` (build in the constructor) and `Packager` so you can now power your early vehicles on `Packaged Liquid Biofuel`. Unlocking this milestone will also allow the `Coated Iron Canister` and `Steel Canister` alternative recipes to be researched.##
Other changes:
Alters the build costs of a `Fuel Generator` to resources available in Tier 2.Alters the build costs of a `Packager` to resources available in Tier 3.
Improves the energy value of `Liquid Biofuel` from 750 MJ/m3 to 1125 MJ/m3.
Unlocking `Turbo Fuel` in the `MAM`, will also add a `Liquid Biofuel` based `Turbo Fuel` recipe to the `Blender`
* Unlocking `Gas Nobelisk` in the `MAM`, will also add a `Liquid Biofuel` based `Gas Nobelisk` recipe to the `Blender`
TODO: The new mixer building uses the model of a packager, i want to replace this in the future, but haven't found anyone able to model it yet

Useful Liquid Biofuel not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Useful Liquid Biofuel has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.

Is Useful Liquid Biofuel compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Useful Liquid Biofuel uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
