└ Module: Core

In order to preserve Wooden Ties against rot and decay, we need to coat them with Creosote Oil. The particular properties of this oil derived from Coal or Wood helps to waterproof and protect wood against many forms of insects and bacteria that would otherwise destroy it in short order.

Creosote Oil is obtained by cooking Coal or Wood in a Coke Oven. It is basically a free byproduct of the process, but you will need multiple Ovens to produce it in quantity.

Creosote Oil can be drained into Buckets or Bottles. If you have Forestry installed, it can be placed in Cans and Capsules as well.

In 10.3.0 and above, creosote oil can be used to brew creosote potion, which damages arthropods at the same rate as the poison effect damages players. The creosote effect, however, can kill arthropods. Entity in creosote oil will get a short period of creosote effect, too. When an arthropod attacks another entity with creosote effect, the effect will transfer onto that arthropod.

• Added ability to damage arthropods and to brew potions in 10.3.0
• Added Torch Recipe in 7.3.0.0
• Added in version 1.6.0.
• Prior to version 2.2.0, Creosote Oil was obtained by cooking Coal in a Furnace.
• Changed to a Liquid in version 5.4.0.
• If the Factory module is not installed, Creosote Oil is obtained by cooking Coal in a vanilla Furnace.
• There is a setting in the config file that allows you to force the use of the vanilla Furnace recipes: “tweaks.creosote.enableFurnaceRecipes” - Outdated?

Cook two Coal or four Wood in a Coke Oven.
