Your Proposal

I think that more fluids should be permitted into the RailCraft Liquid Fueled Boiler. Right now you can basically only use creosote for it, but I would like to be able to use oil, and other liquid fuels.

A concern that I can see with this is it could seem to make the semi-fluid generator less useful, but I think in reality the downsides of generating steam in a boiler (always on wasting fuel, slow warmup, etc) outweigh the upsides.

Your Goal

LV to early HV, many machines revolve around steam, especially the steam multiblocks.

The most obvious way to generate a lot of steam early game is using wood (charcoal).

I want to do a play-through not relying on mass wood production for fuel, but that would basically mean foregoing the steam multi-blocks, which I love, unless I wanted to use coal/coke for the boilers.

Your Vision

An alternate path for generating early game Steam via oil in the RailCraft liquid fueled boiler.
