g Enriched coal suggestion

26 days ago

Thanks for all your hard work on the mod!

I have a small suggestion: right now, enriched coal is only used in steel production. Would it be possible to replace regular coal with enriched coal in other production recipes as well? (Explosive, Grenade, Plastic, Coal Liquefaction, Poison and Slowdown capsule)

Thanks again!

Hi mate, thanks for the compliments, really appreciated. :D
Could be an interesting thing to do now that you make me think.

Here you are - wasn't so difficult to integrate in the game now that I think about it.
Sometimes it's just a matter of ideas I guess. :3

Thanks for the quick update!

The idea behind the suggestion was that this way I wouldn’t have to send both coal and enriched coal to the main bus. And of course, it's easier to ask you to include the modification in the mod than to write an additional one. :)

By the way, would you consider adding coal liquefaction as well?

Can be a thing enriched coal on coal liquefaction. But this could come on a more broad update on Oil processing. So I want to think about it.
