g [Fixed] Alumina ?

2 months ago
(updated 2 months ago)

Hello! I'm finally doing a run using all your 2.0 mods + Muluna/Cerys/Maraxsis and I'm having a blast, I just have one question regarding Alumina:

-Alumina is a required ingredient to produce "crucible" which is needed to build an electric furnace.
I'm not finding the recipe for Alumina, how should I obtain it? I found some Alumina recipes from crushing Anorthite chunks but this is on Muluna, I thought this was a way to "delay" having electric furnaces before reaching Muluna (I'm okay with) but in order to build a rocket parts I need LDS, LDS now requires Diamonds which can only be produced in electric furnaces, so from what I gather I need to produce Alumina on Nauvis before having a rocket, would you know if there is a recipe that I'm missing or is this a possible soft-lock?

Thank you!

Edit: I made some tests and this is indeed caused by the Muluna mod, if I remove it the Crucible recipe does not require Alumina anymore, I think your mod checks the "Alumina" to insert into your other mod recipes because you have the "Aluminium v1.1" mod right? would it be possible to prevent the recipes from requiring Alumina from Muluna?

I have encountered the same issue, I don't think you should delay the electric furnace which are required to get purple science behind the moon, can you add an option to remove aluminia for the crucible and maybe make one which can give double crucible if you add aluminia or make it way less expensive so that you can create efurnace without going to space. thank you :)

I made a mod to tweak to add a recipe for early crucible that cost 5 times more ressources without alumina

Hi, thanks for raising this. This was an unintentional and a soft lock. That item indeed overlaps with an item from my 1.1 Aluminum mod that yet to be updated. I will remove it from the crucible recipe for the time being, and once I update Aluminum I'll also make sure it fits well with Muluna's updated resources.

Oh! Thank you so much for the fix! I disabled Muluna and was thinking about enabling it again as soon as I started building rockets and I would ship the Alumina since the crucible would require it again, this resolves everything :) If I come up with another softlock or unexpected behavior I will let you know!
