Can you add an option to use iron\copper dust instead of pure ores for the respective foundry recipes?

I'm thinking on how to balance everything out. I'll need some time. (Days) :3

I also this idea!

It has been implemented in the game last week.

Version: 3.0.9

• Date: 2024.11.10

Thoughts & News:

• [item=echamber1] Ore enriching now supports ore melting. (Same 3x ore efficiency.)
• [item=quantum-processor] How lovely are item sounds?

Space age features:

• [item=echamber1] Enrichment chambers can now melt iron and copper ore with calcite, that can then be used in foundries.
• [recipe=iron-ore-alternative-enriching] Alternative enriching has the same 3x efficiency that the normal process has, but is more versatile.

{
-- Advanced Material Processing
15 iron ore -> 15 dust(iron)
15 dust(iron) -> 15 iron plate

-- Basic Mineral Processing(mod refining)
5 iron ore -> 10dust (iron)
3x 15 iron ore -> 30 dust (iron)
30 dust(iron) -> 15 iron plate

-- Advanced Material Processing (mod refining)
20 iron ore + 1 calcite -> 400 cast iron
400 cast iron -> 40 iron plate
10x 20 iron ore + 600 water -> 60 clump(iron) [result -60 dust(iron) -> 60 iron plate-]
}

I think cast less efficiency than clump
I have an idea (ingredients: 30 clump + 1 calcite ,products 350 iron cast)
2x 60 clump + 2 calcite-> 700 cast iron
700 cast iron -> 70 plate iron
this is something efficiency
