Vanilla Helixien Gas Expanded is a brand new mod for the release of RimWorld 1.4. With this update, we've decided that it's best we split Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Power and the Helixien gas, as not only it gives us more control over it, but it's also the only logical choice, as the helixien gas is very complex and occupies a big portion of VFE-Power.

When you update your Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Power to 1.4, you will no longer have Helixien gas in it. If you'd still like it: you need to download this mod as well. Previous Helixien gas system was coded by Fluffy, but because he is no longer around as often, we decided to move the system to the one written by Kikohi which we already used in Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded.

With this mod you will be able to drill for Helixien gas and install a pump that gives you access to cheap, combustible and nearly infinite fuel supply. You can construct numerous appliances that rely on gas and are solar flare immune. From gas stoves and smithys to lamps and heaters, you can now bring the gas power to your colony.

A single, small but infinite pocket of Helixien gas is now available from game start, allowing players to go straight for gas technology and placing a pump to get small, but infinite supply of Helixien gas without having to scan for more pockets.

Players can still scan for more pockets of Helixien gas, but those won't be infinite - this means that you can increase the supply temporarily, or stick to the one infinite pocket for a lower but never ending supply.




The content of this mod can be seen below.






















A: Can I add it mid-playthrough to an existing save?
A: Yes, definitely.

Q: Does this work with Combat Extended?
A: Yes.

Q: How do I find Helixien gas?
A: Pockets of helixien gas appear when scanning using the ground-penetrating scanner.

Q: Does it work with any mod adding oil/refining/pipes?
A: Yes, it does!

Q: Why remove it from VFE-Power?
A: Because we have our own pipe system now, and the previous version of Helixien gas had it’s issues - particularly that none of our programmers could understand how to work it. Now, we are in full control again. It’s a big enough concept that it deserves a standalone mod.

@Oskar - Your Gas Powered Generator lacks the new "Stunnable" comp added in 1.5 that the other generators now have. It also lacks an ambient sound. Is this an intended feature for Helexien Gas , or just an oversight?

"Gas wall lamps" seem to not use the relatively new wall mounted feature like other wall lamps do. Is it because of some sort of limitation with gas pipes?

Bro the pump is 4x4. I messed up my base planning dahahah.

Please! Add an option in the settings to turn off the "No storage connected" notification for the gas! I have my whole colony hooked up to electricity with gas lighting and coolers as emergency backups, but when the valve is turned off I have 30+ lamps complaining about no storage connected which is really annoying.

So this is a mod where you can make gas and gas-powered generators and gas pipes. You know what gas pipes do? Leak, they leak and you don't know about it until you're in immediate danger, and I think that'd be a sick drawback to using this stuff, since it's all upsides as far as I'm aware.

Correct. They only appear on newly generated maps.

While it can be added to a saved game, infinite gas deposits are not generated.

Description says the pump is 3x3, but isn't it 4x4? I'm planning my base right now and don't want to mess things up... :>

On one hand, I feel like this is completely useless if you have Chemfuel Expanded, aside from theming.
On the other hand, Chemfuel Expanded is so completely busted that I'm considering replacing it with this in future playthroughs.
