About this mod
This mod adds technology, recipe and a factory for the automated conversion of ore ( copper > iron or vice-versa).

There is already a similar mod available, but from what I was able to see it only allowed 'hand-crafting' of ore conversion. This mod adds a factory to handle the job.

Note from me,
The factory has a large footprint and will loose 20% of the ore's mass during conversion, to begin the conversion process the desired output ore must be selected at the factory.

I have no intention of updating or patching this mod beyond making it better for myself, If I then upload an update hooray! If not - oh well. I'd like to add 'working' animation, but I'm a noob modder and only just understand enough to make this work!

A note on the future of this mod
I am looking into adding bobs ores' I'm having some trouble actually making it work, either I can do it or I'll scrap the idea dependant on how much hassle it is. I've also noticed a problem with the graphic size and 'rotation' causing the hit box to screw up quite badly - this will be corrected, likely with a revised hit box, once fixed this might screw things up if you've built too closely. - I'm currently testing a 4x4 hitbox (it was 6x5) my other thought was a 6x6 which I'l try out as well.

revision notes
- 1.0.1 - edited the info to correctly read that it's for ore only! I'd accidentally left 'coal and stone' in the description, oops!
- 1.0.2 - edited the collision box, it should now line up properly?
- 1.0.3 - minor corrective tweaks, added bobs dependency by request.
- 1.0.4 - updated to be compatible with 0.15.x
- 1.0.5 - updated to be compatible with 1.0.x
