Ultimate Car Mod — Guide

Fuel Production

Producing Biodiesel is a vital prerequisite for driving. The process involves several specialized machines and chemical stages.

Step 1: Canola Cultivation

• Seeds: Obtain Canola Seeds by breaking tall grass, similar to wheat seeds.
• Farming: Plant and harvest Canola just like wheat.
• Oil Mill: Place Canola into an Oil Mill to produce Canola Oil.
• Byproduct: You receive Canola Cake, which can be used to breed animals (cows, sheep, etc.).

Step 2: Methanol Extraction

• Blast Furnace: Place Wood Logs into the Blast Furnace to produce Methanol through pyrolysis.
• Byproduct: This process produces Charcoal as a byproduct.

Step 3: Chemical Reaction

• Backmix Reactor: Connect the Oil Mill and Blast Furnace to a Backmix Reactor using Fluid Pipes and Fluid Extractors.
• Mixing: The reactor combines Canola Oil and Methanol into a mixture. This machine requires energy (FE/RF) to operate.

Step 4: Decantation

• Split Tank: Pump the mixture into a Split Tank. This block does not require energy but takes time to separate the fluids.
• Outputs: The tank outputs Biodiesel (the fuel) and Glycerin (currently a byproduct that must be drained to keep the process running).

Fuel Logistics

Vehicle Operation

Driving in the Ultimate Car Mod is more complex than standard Minecraft movement.

Controls

• R: Hold to start the engine. Starting time is affected by engine temperature and damage.
• I: Open the car's dashboard/inventory while inside.
• W/S: Accelerate and Reverse.
• A/D: Steering.
• H: Sound the horn.
• Space: Handbrake.
• Shift + Right-Click: Access car inventory from the outside.

Mechanics

• Fuel: Cars spawn with 10% fuel. If you run out, you can push the car by sneaking against it.
• Battery: The car has an internal battery (500 RF). If empty, the car won't start. Recharge by driving or inserting a charged battery item.
• Damage: Cars take damage from collisions, water, and lava. Damage reduces top speed and increases engine start time. Repair cars in the Workshop or with a Repair Kit (5% repair).
• Locking: Every crafted car comes with two Keys. Right-click a key within 25 blocks to lock/unlock. Keys can be duplicated in a crafting table with an Iron Ingot.

Road Construction

Cars drive significantly faster on Asphalt than on natural terrain. Most cars (except the SUV) can only climb half-block heights, making slopes essential.

Road Blocks

• Asphalt: The base road block.
• Asphalt Slopes/Slabs: Used for elevation changes.
• Crash Barriers: Prevent cars from sliding off the road.
• Signs: Can be placed and edited with up to 4 lines of text on both sides.

Road Markings

Using the Painter (White) or Yellow Painter, players can apply 27 different markings (lines, arrows, etc.) to asphalt. * Change Marking: Sneak + Right-click with a painter to open the selection menu. * Apply: Right-click an asphalt block. * Remove: Use a Screwdriver to rotate or remove markings.

Energy System

The mod uses a standard FE (Forge Energy) system to power fuel production machines.

Car Crafting & Customization

Cars are built using the Car Workshop, a 3x3 multiblock structure consisting of one central Workshop block surrounded by eight Workshop Parts.

Essential Components

To spawn a car, you must place the following parts into the Workshop GUI: 1. Body: Determines the car's base model and color. Available in Wooden (all wood types), SUV, Sports Car, and Transporter (16 colors). 2. Engine: * 3-Cylinder: Standard speed and consumption. * 6-Cylinder: High speed, high fuel consumption. * Truck Engine: High torque, most fuel-efficient. 3. Wheels: * Small Wheels: Standard for most cars. * Big Wheels: Required for SUVs. 4. Fuel Tank: * Small: 500mb capacity. * Medium: 1,000mb capacity. * Large: 1,500mb capacity.

Optional Attachments

• License Plate Holder: Allows mounting a custom License Plate.
• Bumper: Cosmetic protection for wooden cars.
• Container: Adds extra inventory space to Transporters.
• Tank Container: Allows Transporters to carry up to 64,000mb of fluid.

Tools & Items

Maintenance Tools

• Wrench: Used to rotate blocks and dismantle cars (hit twice quickly).
• Screwdriver: Adjusts road markings and dismantles cars.
• Hammer: Used for car dismantling.
• Canister: Holds 1,000mb of fuel. Shift + Right-click a Fuel Station to fill; use in the car's GUI to refuel.

Crafting Components

• Car Parts: Includes Engines (3-cyl, 6-cyl, Truck), Wheels, Axles, Seats, and Windshields.
• License Plate: Can be written on by right-clicking and then applied to a car with a holder.
