Treated wood

Description
A simple mod that allows you to treat wood at a biofuel refinery to make it stronger and less flammable. Great if you have boomalopes.

25 wood and 3 chemfuel creates 25 treated wood.

This is my first mod, cobbled together in 40 minutes, so it's not much. Should be lightweight and vanilla-esque enough to prevent any conflicts or issues.

Why does this Mod need C-Sharp?

This is really cool, especially from a decorative perspective, being able to make homes that look wooden without shiddin your pants every time there's a fire.

Quote, "...to make it stronger and less flammable."

It would be greatly appreciated if the description gave an indication of how much stronger it makes wood and how much it makes it less flammable. Like... are we talking about 50% stronger or half as flammable... or what? (At least then I'd have an idea if this mod fits my idea of preferred game balance and be able to compare it to other, similar mods.)

I also like the concept, and with the resources available to a vanilla game I think chemfuel makes sense.

However, I think that the by the time players reach biofuel refineries they can build stuff in much more durable and desirable materials.

I'd like to use this mod instead for tribal/medieval runs, with this mod for example, where it would be "historically accurate" (whatever that means) for people to know of the means to preserve their buildings from fire.

Therefore some alternative to the biofuel refinery would be in my opinion welcome to make this mod useable.

I dig this revival of the old treated wood mod concept!

@TSense: This actually reflects real life, within the extremely abstracted limits of a sprite-based game.

Several of the types of chemicals used in pressure treating wood in real life are derived from petroleum products. e.g. Copper naphthenate is a copper salt of naphthenic acid, which is a term used to refer to carboxylic acids naturally occuring in crude oil (if the naphtha word root didn't give it away already).

Really like the Idea here, making better-wood out of wood, but I can't handle the idea of adding chemfuel to something to make it less flammable.
Why do you now insect jelly? Or berries for juice?
