Satisfying Alternate Recipe Options is a nifty little mod that adds alternate recipes, each of which might or might not be better than vanilla in a particular situation. I really appreciate it. For example, I can get half again as many iron plates if I wash the ore with water during processing or twice as many if I leach the ore with sulphuric acid. ...but I have to have water or sulphuric acid available.
I think that the two mods would work well together.
