The Combustion Generator burns a liquid fuel together with an oxidizer to generate power.

This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2, for 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2). All numbers are the default values from the startup config and can be changed there.

Usage

Fill one tank with a fuel and the other with an oxidizer. Each burn uses 250 mB of fuel plus the oxidizer amount below, and lasts 1,600 ticks ("Fixed Process Time"). If "Balanced Mode" is enabled in the config, the burn time comes from the oxidizer's recipe instead. While burning, the generator produces the fuel's FE/t × the oxidizer's multiplier and pushes it into adjacent blocks.

Fuels
Fuel	FE/t (before oxidizer)
Nitroglycerin	234
Diesel	160
Gasoline	128
Liquefied Coke	128
Biofuel	72
Light Fuel	64
Liquefied Coal	64
Treethanol	64
Naphtha	32
Natural Gas	24
Crude Oil	16

Oxidizers
Oxidizer	Multiplier	Used per burn
Compressed Air	×1	250 mB
Oxygen	×2	125 mB
Dinitrogen Tetroxide	×4	25 mB

For example, Diesel with Oxygen makes 160 × 2 = 320 FE/t for 1,600 ticks (512,000 FE) from 250 mB of Diesel and 125 mB of Oxygen.

Energy

	Default	Config setting
Power generation	Fuel FE/t × oxidizer multiplier	Fuel and oxidizer data
Energy storage	5,120,000 FE	`Maximum Power`
Maximum output	512,000 FE/t	`Maximum Transfer`

Inventory

The "default face" is the side of the machine that automation (hoppers, pipes) uses for the slot by default, relative to the machine's front. It can be changed in the machine's IO settings.

#	Slot	Default face
1	Bucket input (fill/empty tank)	Up
2	Bucket output	Down
3	Bucket input (fill/empty tank)	Back
4	Bucket output	Front

Tanks

Tank	Capacity	Restriction
Input	4,000 mB
Input	4,000 mB

Crafting

`#c:gears/aluminum`	`#c:microchips`	`#c:gears/aluminum`

`#c:gears/carbon`	Primitive Stirling Generator	`#c:gears/carbon`

Crafting a Combustion Generator on its own in a crafting grid returns a fresh Combustion Generator, clearing its stored data.
