Natural Gas
Natural Gas is a fuel from Voluminous Energy. It is a gaseous fluid. 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).

Natural Gas is a gaseous fluid: in the world it flows upwards instead of downwards, and you cannot drown in it.
As a fuel
Combustion Generator
Natural Gas is rated at 24 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 Natural Gas |
|---|---|---|
| Compressed Air (uses 250 mB per burn) | 24 | 153,600 |
| Oxygen (uses 125 mB per burn) | 48 | 307,200 |
| Dinitrogen Tetroxide (uses 25 mB per burn) | 96 | 614,400 |
Gas Furnace
In the Gas Furnace, 250 mB of Natural Gas lasts 2,400 ticks, enough to smelt 12 items (48 items per bucket) without an upgrade.
Obtaining
- Natural Gas reservoirs and caves (0.5 Alpha 2 and later). Collect source blocks with a bucket or a Pump.
