Extended Vanilla: Refining


An overhaul to the Vanilla ore processing while maintaining the style and simplicity of Factorio. Now compatible and balanced around Space Age. (Inspired from Minecraft's Mekanism mod.)

We can say better late than never. :DDDDD

This is a part of the version 2.5.2 patchnotes.
I'm working on polishing the details with the newest versions.


Version: 2.5.2

Date: 2024.03.14
Krastorio2 support:
- The whole ore refinement chains are now balanced around the K2-Ev modpack.
- The Ev crusher in this pack becomes the Ore crusher, a machine specialized in ore processing.
- The ore crusher and the enrichment chamber have now a different recipe.
(The same thing applies to their special components jaw crusher and electrolytic unit.)
- Base ore processing changes: (Ev crusher's recipes)
- The recipe chain takes 12s in total to complete. (From raw ore to plate)
- The total efficiency of the chain is about 56%, 63%, 66%.
(Balanced around the fact that the mod introduces the enriched ore technology in blue science, that has an efficiency of almost 70%.)
- Advanced ore processing changes: (Enrichment chamber's recipes)
- The recipe chain takes 16s to complete.
- The total efficiency of the chain is about 100%, 125%, 150%.
- Ores are splitted into ore clumps and enriched ore, and water is converted into dirty water.
(Have fun with the designs. After all if you play Krastorio you want a deeper level of complexity and realism don't you?)
- Elite ore processing changes: (Purification chamber's recipes)
- The recipe chain takes 24s to complete. (It is a reasonable amount of time for what it gives you.)
- The total efficiency of the chain is about 200%, 225%, 250%.
- Ores are splitted into ore chunks and enriched ore.
- The chunk to clump conversion uses water, so it produces an equal amount of dirty water.
- The ore crusher and enrichment chamber mk2:
- Require Processing units, Energy control units and AI cores.
- Have a base productivity bonus of 10% instead of 5%.
- Can further process enriched ore into ore dust, allowing you to finally reach ore triplication at last.
(In a modpack like this progression must be rewarded.)
- In the next days I'll focus development on steel, rare earths and imersium production and efficiency.


Hope you'll be satisfied at last. :)
