When I saw the name, I thought it was fuel from excrement of cows and pigs or biodiesel. Biofuel is in the standard game - coal

It is fuel from plants like biodiesel. But I can add support for the
Pooper-Mod. Then you can play with excrement.

Coal is fossil fuel.

The machine to create the biofuel looks particulary nice.

Very cool. Thanks!
How about using some group, say, biofuel=1, for whether something is biofuel-able, so all the mod maker (like Clyde for vegana or runs for cool trees or whatever) need do is set that group when he defines the node and it's supported? Keeps you from having to issue new releases to keep up with new mods.

I don't have "wine" by TenPlus1 currently activated on my server and I'm getting this in my error log.

Looks like you have a hard dependency there. I have Pooper and Farming Redo installed so I haven't tested dependencies against those.

I reenabled wine and then got this error. I don't have the vegan mod installed.

It works fine if I comment out the lines referring to the crafting recipes of the other mods. That was in the biofuels.lua file. Perhaps you could add some sort of IF statement to look for mod-paths of the other mods before executing these lines as they're creating hard dependencies for your mod? I'm not that great at programming (yet) or I'd add them for you.
My thoughts on this mod are: "Cool!". I like any mod that further extends existing functionality of items already in the game. I've been using the compost mod you forked this from to reuse plant parts that have been storing up in my storage chests. This mod also got me to re-add the "Pooper" mod to my server too since I was starting to view that mod as a bit useless after awhile.

I've just got around to using it in game. Here are some thoughts:
It crafts *really* fast. It goes from 0% to 100% in about 4-5 seconds.
The names are a bit confusing. Phial Fuel, Bottle Fuel, and Fuel Canister do not conform to convey clarity. Wouldn't something along the line of "Vial of Biofuel", "Bottle of Biofuel", and "Canister of Biofuel" be a bit more obvious to users? Even the alternative "Biofule Vial", "Biofuel Bottle", or "Biofuel Canister" work fine. I tested crafting it, using it in a furnace, crafting higher tier biofuels, and crafting a canister from ethanol drinks in "wine". Good mod! I'm going to adjust the values in my server like I've listed above.

I have fixed the dependency bug provisional. Looks like I have not tested the mod enough. I will include the other suggestions in the next version. My programming skills and English skills are rather modest.

The mod seems to work fine. I've been making biofuel out of poop all day. Don't worry about missing that, things get over looked sometimes. I'm glad you updated the mod! I'll check it out in git.

Would you consider adding support for the "nettle" mod?

EDIT: actually, it seemed to work fine "out of the box".

New in version 0.5
- Dependencies bug fixed
- settingtypes.txt for easy configuration added
- api.txt for easy support of modifications added
- French, Italian and Spanish translations added with the google translator
Some beta tests would be fine before I upload the modification to the content database.

I threw version 0.5 into my server. No error messages this time around and I see you cleaned up the names. I think it looks really good. I still think the biomass processes into fuel very quickly out of the box. I sort of like how compost slowly converts it over time. But I was able to use the settingtypes.conf parameter to adjust the behavior by adding the line "fuel_production_time = 300" to my minetest.conf file.
Looks good!

It's my fault. The helicopter mod is compatible with another biofuel mod, but the new ultralight mod can use both. I'll adapt the helicopter to use this mod too

The yesterday correction was inneficient and with some bugs. So I made a huge refactory in the code and 3D model.
Now it suppports passenger. The control was changed a bit. It starts by keyboard only, but if you type E key, it changes to the old way, by mouse and keyboard.

I've got one word for anyone who wants to expend less effort to create biofuel... GARLIC! It only has to grow to stage 5. You 3 bulbs per plant on average. There are 8 cloves in a bulb, so you see how this can quickly add up. Then all you have to do is use the cloves for the biofuel, and you get a ton of it!
