Crude Oil
Crude Oil is a liquid fuel from Voluminous Energy. It is burned in the Combustion Generator and the Gas Furnace, and can fuel multitools in the Tooling Station.
This page describes Voluminous Energy 0.5 (Alpha 2).

Crude Oil slows down entities moving through it. Its tag is #c:crude_oil, so Crude Oil from other mods with that tag works too.
As a fuel
Combustion Generator
Crude Oil is rated at 16 FE/t. The Combustion Generator burns 250 mB at a time for 1,600 ticks, so a bucket lasts 6,400 ticks. The oxidizer multiplies the output:
| Oxidizer | FE/t | FE per bucket of Crude Oil |
|---|---|---|
| Compressed Air (uses 250 mB per burn) | 16 | 102,400 |
| Oxygen (uses 125 mB per burn) | 32 | 204,800 |
| Dinitrogen Tetroxide (uses 25 mB per burn) | 64 | 409,600 |
Gas Furnace
In the Gas Furnace, 250 mB of Crude Oil lasts 1,600 ticks, enough to smelt 8 items (32 items per bucket) without an upgrade.
Obtaining
- World generation: Crude Oil lakes (surface and underground), Crude Oil geysers, and, since 0.5 Alpha 2, Crude Oil reservoirs and caves. Collect source blocks with a bucket or a Pump.
- Dimensional Laser: chunks in some climates yield Crude Oil.
