[SBW] Drill, Baby, Drill! is a SuperbWarfare addon making vehicles fuel-powered.
- Omni-Support: Supports every fuel and item from Vanilla or mods, even when it is not in default config.
- Simplicity: It is a small mod adding just a few items and functionalities. Everything is optimized as much as im capable of optimizing it, its still being worked on. It does not contain tick-heavy logic and even lightweight tick logic can be optimized or disabled through config. With it disabled mod does not affect performance.
- Realism: Instead of using electricity for vehicles clearly powered by petrol, diesel or any other fuel you can use actuall fuel. It is even divided into vehicle classes such as "light vehicles", "heavy vehicles", "ships" and "aircrafts", each configurable independantly.
- Config-based: You can put literally anything into config fuel lists: items, fluids or their whole tags. There are fuel lists for different vehicle classes. Anything can be turned into fuel through config as well as balanced with specification of how much energy it provides. You can disable SuperbWarfare default electricity refueling to enforce fuel usage, adjust performance impact and more.

Fixes:
New Config Option:
#Should dbd check inventory for items or fluids being fuel? [false by default, might be performance heavy]
inventoryRefuel = false
it gets rid of legacy system searching inventory for items or fluid containers defined as a fuel, searching whole inventory even with cooldown is not really lightweight so for now i added ability to disabled it, soon it might be deleted completely
- Fuel Pump and Fuel Canister not facing player when being placed

New Features:
Different fuels for different vehicle types.
Possibility to block sbw refueling with energy. (and to disable it for fixed weapons so your naval cannon can still be powered with a system from below)
Ability to define how many items/fluid can go through one conversion. (one that happens every configured interval)
Added canister and fuel pump that can help with refueling. They are overall better for performance than refueling through inventory and can be used without getting inside vehicle. Fuel pump can be provided with fuel from downside (it will display current fluid and ammount of it on the display), pick up nozzle and just use it on vehicles. Since it is pressurized it offers much higher fueling speed.
Fixes & Optimizations:
Registry - Lowered impact on world loading time and eliminated possible lag-spikes.
Performance Boost – Improved many methods within by this mod.
Config Changes:
Default config is made to work with Create: The Factory Must Grow mod and nothing else, you can still change it.
New Fields in Config:
