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.)

Currently running on SE and VeryVZ, and I've noticed not all the ores have refining recipes

Tin and Silver (bztin and noble metals mod) are missing the recipes.

Hi mate. I dunno what VeryVz is. Can you link me the mod u're talkin' about please?
Despite that I could work on Tin and Silver, why not. Do they have the same ratios and similar unlock in the early stages of the game like Lead?

Hey sorry Vz was a typo, was supposed to be BZ.

Tin is unlocked like the other ores, it just exists.
However silver ore is a byproduct of smelting copper, rich copper, lead or gold ore. (all from the Bz mods)

Tin (and several others) being supported would be nice, but is not game breaking.

Silver Concentrate not being considered is somewhat game breaking though.
It is a byproduct of the following recipes:
- Copper plate
- Lead plate
- Gold plate
- Zinc plate (added by the Bismuth mod from https://mods.factorio.com/user/trikop)

Could you please consider incorporating Silver Concentrate somehow? If you have no balanced idea, please simply add it as a byproduct to your version of the plates. That approach might cause a cosmetic issue in the otherwise very beautiful and immersive recipes, but it would at least allow us to not ignore copper and lead recipes from this mod.
Also, please consider supporting all the other ores from BZ (and Bismuth and Manganese from Trikop, these two kinda are a natural extension to BZ and build with BZ in mind).

As soon as I'll "concentrate" myself on this mod, I'll give a watch.

Version 2.8.0

  • Date: 20.09.24

Brevven support:

  • Added first basic support for Bztin, Bz Mods Bridge and Bz Noble Metals: all the ores of these mods (plus Bzlead, Bztitanium, Bztungsten) can be refined in a similar way to iron and copper, despite ratios (efficiency and final yields) being different for titanium, tungsten gold and some others.
  • The optional secondary product in every recipe chain will be discontinued for a version, I need more time to properly balance this feature.

Here we are, hope you all will be satisfied now. :D
Aluminum is the next one in queue, and I still need to polish some details on the texture merging, but we're at a good point I think.
