Hi! I really like changing Steel to require coke, since it makes it a bit more interesting than simply "more expensive Iron". That said, the order for the "founding" recipe category being at the top of the intermediates feels off to me, imho it'd make more sense for them to be with or next to the "smelting" category of recipes, so I always get thrown off when I open my inventory for crafting.
Same thing with the Foundry, it feels odd for it to be above everything else and not listed after furnaces in the "smelting-machine" category, or at least in a "founding-machine" category after smelters.
