Hiya brevven! For Graphite & Diamonds, I would like to suggest some compatibility vectors with Crushing Industry. (discussion where this was requested)

• I already hide the basic-crusher if its present, though I do so in a non-destructive way so you can not add it if CI is installed.
• CI adds "crushed coal" which conflicts with the recipe for carbon black. Changing the recipe for carbon black to be crushing crushed coal seems like a good starting angle. settings.startup["crushing-industry-coal"].value.
• Adding Diamonds to the recipe for the Big Electric Crusher if enabled (big-electric-crusher) and Space crusher (internally still the crusher) if enabled would be great settings.startup["crushing-industry-big-crusher"].value
• I added a helper function for generating the icons for a crushing recipe. CrushingIndustry.make_crushing_icons(item_name_or_path). Specifying the item that gets crushed into the smaller item is the paradigm MeteorSwarm and I are following, to reflect how asteroid crushing recipes are stylized.

Let me know if you have any questions, or want help with any of this!

Hi there. Thanks for this! Mod is looking really good. Update going out soon:

I will update this mod and S&S to not provide the basic crusher when this mod is enabled, and continue using the recipe category basic-crushing that your mod also provides.

Carbon black is a form of elemental carbon that is a byproduct of various combustion processes under certain circumstances, so I will keep the recipe in a chem plant but change it to use crushed coal. Slightly more favorable ratios are fine here, since it's an extra step and the primary source of carbon black is oil processing anyways.

I will add diamonds to big-crusher, crusher, and crusher-2 recipe. I'm doing crusher whether or not your mod is enabled, seems like a good idea regardless!

• CI adds "crushed coal" which conflicts with the recipe for carbon black. Changing the recipe for carbon black to be crushing crushed coal seems like a good starting angle. settings.startup["crushing-industry-coal"].value.

Just to clarify from the original discussion; crushed coal is overriding carbon black in the basic plastic recipe, not carbon black itself.

Ah thank you! I will address this soon.

Alright this is now updated, apologies for how long that took.

Thank you!
