Provides a foundry building, as well as an electric version. The building is used for founding (e.g. casting metal), as well as other "hot" things like coking coke/solid fuel (optional). Can (optionally, default off) perform vanilla smelting tasks as well.

This mod is currently fully compatible with vanilla. It can be used with BZ Mods as well, and will always be compatible with them.

By default, the foundry building is used to smelt steel and to make coke (used in steel and as fuel). If you have the relevant BZ mods enabled, silicon, tungsten carbide, aluminum alloys, crucibles, cermet, and other recipes use the foundry. Most of this is fully configurable.

Other vanilla smelting recipes are, by default, not done in foundries, but that can be configured as well.

There are also optional recipes (default off) that enable advantageous smelting ratios when using a supplemental refractory.

Other supported compatible mods:

  • AAI Industry & Space Exploration
  • Krastorio 2 (though, this building is a bit redundant with K2 furnaces)
  • Deadlock stacking, crating, and other popular mods.

Many other mods are fully compatible but not yet fully supported. Please let me know if you find anything that needs compatibility support.
