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.

Can this mod removed mid-game?

So, industrial generators require VFE_IndustrialGenerators research, but where do you get this?
Is it from VFE power? It's not listed as a requirement.

how much gas is pumped on a geyser?

don't suppose we could get some more tie-ins with other vanilla expanded things? i'd love to have gas powered soup production, for example, since soups are extremely vulnerable to solar flares.

nevermind it was just a corrupted deep resource grid, although the deep helixien overlay still falsely flags pockets it's just a visual bug so it's mostly fine

I think that although I can toggle gas pocket visibility I still have to scan and locate it before it registers for me to be able to use it, but I may be wrong

Has anyone had an issue with trying to place a helixien pump on an infinite gas pocket but it saying that there's nothing there? I was able to place it on a geyser but not one of the buried pockets.

Doesn't count for rooms. An electric or fueled stove will make a room into a Kitchen, but a Gas Powered stove will not.

@TioTrix There are a few geysers (infinite) and a few infinite pockets (which can sometimes accomodate >1 extractor), and you can also deep scan for more finite deposits. Each extractor can support 4 industrial generators (which is a lot)

@Sebastian Crystal
The gas itself can't be used as vehicle fuel, so you'll have to actually make chemfuel. There is a gas-powered refinery but its bills are the same - it just uses Helixien Gas instead of power.

is gas infinite or limited?
