PETROL (now with helicopters)

Description
WELCOME to PETROL!
It's BIGGER! It's BADDER! It's TOO MUCH FOR YOU TO HANDLE!

Hydrogen is for rockets. Petrol is for internal combustion!

BLOCKLIST:
Coal Power Plant: Burns raw coal. Stable and easy power.
Oil Refinery: Turns Oil Shale into PETROL!
Petrol engine: Rebuild of internal combustion. Uses PETROL to make power.
Various Fuel Tanks. To hold the precious PETROL.
FUEL CELLS A Fuel Cell is excellent in supplying supplemental power to a hydrogen rocket powered ship. AND of course, emergency power, when nothing else seems to work.

NOW! Named to honor Native Americans AND the USA Armed Forces!

Cherokee Blades! Small, quiet, good for scouting ELECTRIC. Electric motor
in back provides power to the gearbox under the blades.
Apache Blades! Good solid lift. Now we’re cooking with gas! Turbine powers
the gearbox and the blades.
Comanche Blades! Major power. Damage resistant. Good for a fight! Twin Turbines
provide power to the central gearbox and drives the huge blades!

This is Helicopters like I always knew they should be! BIG hit boxes make them unsuitable for mining or close quarters flight. Keep those blades clear of obstacles. Also likely the first thing to take damage in a fight, so pay attention. Advantage of blades over vanilla atmospherics: Cherokee has less electrical use for lift generated. Apache and Comanche generate generous lift without going crazy with batteries. The PETROL moves you. DISADVANTAGE: They require room to operate. Easy to hit by an enemy.

Connecters for most are typically underneath.

New Ores: Coal & Oil Shale. Both now spawn on Earth-like and Alien

Why use PETROL? 1. Realism. 2. Hydrogen Tanks are crazy big. PETROL is a more compact and easy to carry fuel.

There will be much tweaking and adjusting to come, but the mod works as is. PLEASE give me feedback on how this plays in survival. I am doing so myself, but I need to know how this plays for OTHER people.

Enjoy!

UPDATE 2.0 HELICOPTER BLADES HAVE ARRIVED!

UPDATE 2.1 Added a small petrol atmos thruster courtesy of gwaitûr. Modestly powered.

MY PETROL SERVER:
98.255.184.245:27016
Do NOT expect an easy time of it. Spawn only on Earth and Alien.
There are abandoned outposts you can claim, IF you can find them.
no platinum on earth or alien.
Server also includes custom worlds, and must have mods, including a prototype of mine.
See ya around the galaxy.

FYI: Wanna have a more MONSTER TRUCK experience?

Amazing mod! Way to think outside of the box on this one. Sorry updates broke this but maybe one day Keen will stop implementing changes that break great work like this.

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
They're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
They point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, yeah
But when the taxman comes to the door
The house look a like a rummage sale
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no millionaire's son, no, no
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
They send you down to war
And when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?"
They only answer, "More, more, more"
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no military son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one

Guys, is there a plan to finish the mod? Replace atmospheric engines with gasoline + make a tab in the G menu

I don't think the mod has been updated since Pertam was added, so there won't be any petrol-related stuff on or in the planet.

Will oil spawn on pertam,the planet covered by desert? I've been driving to the other side of the planet but never find any oil. Because very few plant can survive pertam's environment?
