Alm’s Oil Additions and Compat Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I use the distillation tower to convert Ad Astra oil?
Place Ad Astra oil in the distillation tower's input tank and run the machine normally—the data pack adds this recipe automatically, so no special setup is needed. The tower will output regular Tech Reborn oil that works with all your Tech Reborn machines.
Can I turn seed oil from Create Additions into Tech Reborn oil?
Yes, the distillation tower accepts seed oil from Create Additions and converts it directly into usable Tech Reborn oil. This lets you use Create's oil production chain to fuel Tech Reborn machines.
What do I do with standard oil to make sulfuric fuels?
Feed standard oil into the distillation tower and it will produce sulfuric light fuel, sulfuric heavy fuel, and sulfuric naphtha as separate outputs. These variants are useful for different Tech Reborn recipes and machines.
Does this mod work with Modern Industrialization plant seed oil?
Yes, the data pack converts Modern Industrialization plant seed oil into regular Tech Reborn oil through the distillation tower. This eliminates the need to farm different oil types for different mods.
Do I need to enable this data pack or does it work automatically?
The data pack works automatically once installed—the new recipes are added to the distillation tower without any configuration needed. Just load it with your world and start using the tower as normal.
What happens if I don't have all the mods this pack is compatible with?
The data pack only adds recipes for mods you actually have installed, so missing mods won't cause errors or clutter your tower. You'll simply have fewer conversion options available.
Can I use these oil conversions in a survival world?
Yes, all conversions work in survival mode—you just need access to a distillation tower and the source oil type. This is useful for setting up automated fuel production chains.
Do the sulfuric fuel variants have different burn times or efficiency?
The sulfuric variants are designed for specific Tech Reborn recipes and machines rather than as direct fuel replacements. Check your Tech Reborn machine tooltips to see which fuel type each one accepts.
Is there a way to convert Tech Reborn oil back into other mod oils?
This data pack only converts other mod oils into Tech Reborn oil, not the reverse. The distillation tower is designed as a one-way compatibility bridge.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
No, this is a lightweight data pack that only adds recipes to existing machines—it doesn't create new blocks, entities, or processing overhead. Performance impact is negligible.
