Help with petroleum boiler

[In-Bread Dog]

My asteroid spawned with a leaky oil fissure and two minor volcanos right next to it (talk about dream luck. (not 'accidently' cheating this time.)) and I wanted a list of materials, technologies, and some blueprints on how to build one. I have no access to aluminum but i do have a massive amount of iron, lead and diamond.

regrettably the trickle of oil from a leaky oil fissure is not nearly enough to keep up with a volcano petroleum boiler your boiler will basically be sitting idle 90% of the time. It's better to tap into whatever oil wells you have on your map. That being said materials will be

Steel - for pumps, doors, and automation.
Obsidian - for insulated tiles that will be directly touching magma.
Diamond - for temp shift plates and window tiles
Ceramic - for insulated pipes when necessary
Gold - for radiant pipes

You will need a good amount of research done including robo miner, memory toggle and tempshift plates.

From there I'd give Francis johns petroleum boiler guide a watch. He goes in depth about the build, how it functions, how to build it, and how to start it. Hope that helps!

Thank you very much. Throws a small wrench into my plan of using the leaky oil fissure but then again I can harness the heat for a bit power. Getting the crude oil from the bottom all the way to the centre of the map will be a pain, of course I could just tame slickers but oil wells are far more reliable.
