while most buildings in this mod have a nice role to either work as up or sidegrades, i cannot see the point of the smeltrys smelting recipes.
the calcite-less recipes are originally enticing but are much less resource efficient (ranges but around 50% relative to foundries iirc) which is good esp for balance!
however the other melting recipes.. why? i get the idea of melting stuff and recasting it later for whatever needs may come up but take into consideration that 20 molten iron = 2 iron plates in a foundry,
in a smeltry the exchange rate is 40 plates for 20 molten iron, thats an astounding loss rate. if im missing something let me know but i think theres a minor oversight here
other than that loving the mod, the petrochem plant is a god send!!!!!! <3

The loss is to not do infinite cycles. Its supposed to be used as disposal, maybe to then recast the metal at an higher quality after disposing of low quality metal, thats how ive been using them.
The calciteless ones got rebalanced so many times i lost track of them
