Metallurgy

Adjustments to the refining system for iron, steel, and now copper, along with adjustments to the crafting of electrical components, crossbow materials, and robotics materials, adding new items and structures and redefining existing ones for a completely reworked experience.

This is a more extensive, polished, and updated version of my old mod: Metalworking.

SUMMARY:

Some items were updated, their purpose and function were reviewed, and icons were changed and descriptions improved to fit the new look.

Systems were adjusted, such as the refining of raw ores; now iron and copper can be refined.

Several research and upgrade stages for metal refineries and stone processors were unified.

Some technologies were adjusted for better internal logic, as well as adjustments to the construction and research categories (this section will be further polished and expanded in another complementary mod I’m working on).

THIS MOD AFFECTS:

Items Updated:

– Raw iron
– Raw copper
– Iron plates
– Armor plates > Copper plates
– Steel bars > Steel plates
– Copper alloy plates > Alloy plates
– Building material

– Electrical components
– Motor
– Robotics components
– Chainmail sheets > Steel rings
– Crossbow parts
– Spring steel > Spring steel bars
– Hinge > Crossbow string
– Press > Advanced circuit board

New item:

– Refined charcoal

New textures:

– Difference between each processing machine and refinery
– Differences between each storage box for plates and raw ore

New models:

– Storage: Raw iron
– Storage: Raw copper
– Storage: Raw stone
– Storage: Charcoal
– Electrical Workbench (under improvement)
– Storage: iron plates (big)
– Storage: copper plates (big)
– Storage: steel plates (big)

Systems:

– You can now refine raw copper into copper plates

– You can now craft charcoal using cactus, wheatstraw, and Riceweed

– Iron can no longer be refined manually without energy

–

– Crafting materials such as leather, steel rings, arrows, electrical components, etc., will use the Work skill instead of some armor forging, crossbow, or engineering skills.

Recipes:

– Iron plates are now crafted with 2 Raw Iron.
– Copper plates are crafted with 2 Raw Copper.
– Steel plates are now crafted with 2 Raw Iron and 1 Refined Charcoal.
– Alloy plates are crafted with 1/2 Steel plates and 1/2 Copper plates.

– Electrical components are now crafted with 1/2 Copper plates.

– Advanced circuit boards are crafted with 1/2 Steel plates and 1 Copper plate.

– Refined charcoal is crafted with 5 Cactus, Wheatstraw, or Riceweed.

– Crossbow string is crafted with 1 Fabric.
– Spring steel bars are crafted with 1 Steel plate.
– Crossbow parts are crafted with 1 Crossbow string and 1 Spring steel. Bars

-The motor is now manufactured with 5 electrical components and 1 steel plate.

-Items that were previously manufactured using press-fit materials now use advanced circuit boards.

LANGUAGES: This mod creates new content, so for now it will only be available in English. I will consider adding translations later, but you can still use it in any language
