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.)
I think I'm being dumb. What is the point of the alternative smelting recipe for dust? It has no productivity (15 ore = 15 dust as opposed to the 7.5 ore to 15 dust recipe), uses MORE machines (24 instead of 6) and is just worse in every way than the x2 recipe.
Am I missing something? Why is this even in the mod?
Hi mate.
It is supposed to be an early, eeearly recipe, just between ore crushing and normal smelting, as yeah it uses more crushers but less furnaces to fill one yellow belt and overall is a slightly better solution. And yeah it had even more meaning when K2 was supported back in 1.1.

Oh, i see. Considering you get to Ore Crushing with so little science, this really wouldn't matter. I would probably not cry of the recipe was retired. All it does is confuse people and clog up the recipe list, for something you'll be using, at most, for like... ten minutes before you get the better recipe.
As of Factorio 2.0 and Space age, yes, probably you got a point. After all that recipe was first introduced years ago in I think v2.0. Since then lots of things have changed. xD
Hi mate, here to give you some updates. :3
To resolve this issue I thought it would be the best to do a poll on my discord server.
I'm here to inform you that many players still consider this recipe to be useful in some way, so it won't be removed. (Still, I'll change the icons so that recipes are more clear to everyone.)
