Immersive Petroleum in All the Mods - Gravitas

Immersive Petroleum is included in this pack at version 4.2.0-22, built for Minecraft 1.18.2 (the file is ImmersivePetroleum-1.18.2-4.2.0-22.jar). The pack's mod list shows it was there in this version or earlier.^[1]

The mod ships its own in-game guide, which includes a credits page for community translators. The current version lists localizations for zh_CN, de_DE, ru_RU, ja_JP, es_es and ko_KR.^[2]

Unverified The sources I have don't describe what the mod's machines and items do, who it suits best, or where it fits in this pack's progression, so I'm not guessing. This page will get more detail once that information is confirmed.

Immersive Petroleum is about finding oil, refining it and turning the results into fuel and useful blocks. The mod's own advancement tree starts with finding an oil reservoir using the Seismic Survey Tool, so that is where you begin too.^[3]

Find some oil

Craft the Seismic Survey Tool first. A sample shows how many buckets are in the reservoir (with a percentage) and the expected pressure in mB/t. The sample also records the coordinates where it was taken, so you can find a good spot again.^[3][4]

Get the Projector and the Distillation Tower

The Projector is your building helper. Its tooltip says it displays instructions, and right-clicking it opens its menu when no multiblock is selected. The mod also has an advancement for forming the Distillation Tower.^[3][4]

In the Distillation Tower, crude oil is split into Bitumen, Sulfurized Diesel, Kerosene, Lubricant and Naphtha.^[4]

Look after your machines

The mod has advancements for lubricating a machine by hand and for placing an Automatic Lubricator next to a machine, so both are worth making early. The Lubricant Can is the manual option, and the Automatic Lubricator is the one you place beside a machine.^[3][4]

Make gasoline

The Refinery makes Gasoline from Naphtha and Gasoline Additives. You get the additives by running kerosene through the Distillation Tower, and that step also gives you more naphtha and some sulfurized diesel.^[3][4]

Immersive Petroleum is a chain: you find oil, pump it up, refine it in big multiblocks, then turn the products into fuel, building materials and boat upgrades. The sources I have are thin on exact numbers like power draw, tank sizes and processing times, so this section sticks to what they confirm and flags what they don't.^[3][4]

Finding oil

Everything starts with the Seismic Survey Tool. Using it to find an Oil Reservoir is the first advancement in the mod. A survey result tells you the amount in buckets, as a percentage, and the expected pressure in mB/t. The tool also records where the sample was taken, by coordinates.^[3][4]

The Derrick has a settings screen with a Set button that applies a path to the Derrick and a Reset button that goes back to the last config if possible. The sources don't explain what the path controls or how the pipe layout works. The only pipe detail I can confirm is how the grid overlay is coloured, covered below.^[3]

Refining multiblocks

Two multiblocks do the main refining: the Distillation Tower and the High-Pressure Refinery Unit (HPRU). Each has an advancement for forming it. The Coker is a third machine, which I can confirm from its own recipe type. The sources don't show the shapes or required blocks for any of them, so use the in-game projector, covered below, for the layout.^[3][4]

The Distillation Tower splits fluids into several products. Kerosene goes in and Sulfurized Diesel, Gasoline Additives and Naphtha come out. Cracked lubricant gives Sulfurized Diesel and Kerosene.^[4]

The HPRU handles the upgrading step. The advancements describe cracking Naphtha in it and upgrading Naphtha into Gasoline. There is also one for producing a bucket of each naphtha product.^[3]

The Coker turns fluid and bitumen into solid fuel. It takes Sulfurized Diesel, bitumen and water and makes Petcoke.^[4]

Using the products

Gasoline is the key fuel. You can insert it into the Portable Generator and use it to fill the Motorboat. The pack changed the bottling recipe for the Gasoline Bottle from the mod's version, so check the recipe below instead of assuming defaults.^[3][4]

Asphalt Concrete is built from bitumen, gravel, sand and water in a fluid-aware crafting recipe, and the pack changed it from the mod's version. Walking on it increases your walking speed, though the sources I have don't give the percentage. Paraffin Wax does the opposite: it decreases walking speed by 5% and is slippery.^[3][4]

The Motorboat and its upgrades

The Motorboat runs on gasoline and accepts upgrades. Here is what each one does:^[3]

• Icebreaker Bow lets the boat destroy ice and harm mobs.^[3][4]
• Emergency Paddles lets you paddle when you are out of fuel.^[3]
• Reinforced Hull makes the boat fire resistant and increases its health.^[3]
• Maneuvering Rudders allows tighter turns.^[3]
• Expanded Fuel Tank increases fuel tank capacity.^[3]

The pipe grid overlay uses configurable colours, all set in the pack's client config. Normal pipes use A5A5A5 (GridColors.normal_pipe_color). Perforated pipes use 54FF54 (GridColors.perforated_pipe_color). Fixed perforated pipes use FF515A (GridColors.fixed_perforated_pipe_color).^[5]

Unverified The sources here show no quests involving Immersive Petroleum in this pack, and the mod is not on the ATM Star quest path. There is no quest-guided order to follow, so the progression below is built from the in-pack recipes.

Without quests, the mod's progression is a chain of refining steps. Each product feeds the next machine. Here is how it unfolds, step by step.^[4]

Crude oil and the distillation tower

Everything starts with Crude Oil. The distillation tower splits it into Bitumen, Sulfurized Diesel, Kerosene, Lubricant and Naphtha. Those outputs feed every later step.^[4]

The pack also changed the Thermal pyrolyzer recipe that turns coke-source materials into coal coke, crude oil and tar, so that machine gives you another source of crude oil.^[4]

Utility items

Several items are crafted directly in a crafting grid instead of being made in a machine. They include the Portable Generator, Automatic Lubricator, Flarestack, Projector and Lubricant Can.

Immersive Petroleum leans heavily on Immersive Engineering in this pack. Most of the machines and gadgets you craft from the mod are built from Immersive Engineering parts, so your oil setup and your Immersive Engineering progress need to move together. There is also a Thermal link that gives you another way to get crude oil.^[4]

Immersive Engineering parts in Petroleum gear

The Portable Generator is built around an Immersive Engineering Generator Block and an LV Accumulator, so you need to get that far in Immersive Engineering first.^[4]

Machine outputs that cross over

The Hydrotreater's sulfur recovery recipe takes a diesel-sulfur fluid and water and gives you Sulfur Dust and Diesel. So a Petroleum machine produces an Immersive Engineering item as one of its outputs.^[4]

Thermal: oil from the Pyrolyzer

Thermal's Pyrolyzer has a bitumen recipe that turns any coke source item into Coal Coke, Crude Oil and Tar. The pack changed this recipe, so don't rely on Thermal's default behavior. Use the recipe below for what it does here.^[4]

This Pyrolyzer recipe is marked as changed by the pack.

Unverified The sources here show no quest that involves Immersive Petroleum, so any quest-based connection to other mods is not confirmed. Check the pack's quest book for that.

The only Immersive Petroleum config this pack gives me to work with is the client config, and the options in it are all about colors. I can't see any gameplay values here, so I won't say anything about oil generation, machine speeds or energy use.^[5]

Pipe grid colors

The options live in the GridColors group of the client config. Each one takes a hex RGB color, and this is how the pack sets them:^[5]

• GridColors.normal_pipe_color is set to A5A5A5, which is the color for normal pipes.^[5]
• GridColors.perforated_pipe_color is set to 54FF54, which is the color for perforated pipes.^[5]
• GridColors.fixed_perforated_pipe_color is set to FF515A. The file's own comment just says "Perforated pipe color", the same wording as the option above, so it doesn't spell out what "fixed" means.^[5]
