Hello everyone! I love this modpack and i'm currently in a 300+ hour game with the need to update my plate production.

I was looking through the recipes (im very close to using pure ores [advanced ore processing 3]) and it seems to me that using either the enriched or the pure ore refining methods is not worth it at all. Especially pure ore that turn into enriched ore seems kinds useless to me since you add the same ingredients + sulfuric acid to get the same amount of enriched ore.

And then enriched ore itself is only providing roughly additional 10% crushed ore if you recycle the dirty water. And yet both recipes only provide 2 ingots at the end like the first recipe crushed ore --> ingots. I know that you dont have any unwanted output (like manganese in making iron ingots) but you still got the same amount from input to output 12 crushed ore -> 2 ingots.

Am i missing something?

The enriched and pure stages add another step in the process that takes productivity modules the combined effect is significant. If you're not, there is indeed no point in pure ore refining, and enriched has less to offer. (Though I still prefer it at least in some cases.)

Ok thank you, that was what i was missing. Its indeed a great improvment.

And btw thank you very much Morganni for all the support and answering the questions here in this forum. Its a great help for a usual lurker like me. Its much appreciated.
