Is this supposed to be required even when not using Krastorio? Seems odd to add an extra intermediate ingredient into vanilla just to use for one turret.

It's also introduced in my other mods

Thanks for this generally great mod. It would be desirable if the mod settings allowed for replacing the "steel gear" with a combination of standard gears and additional steel. As it stands, I’m actually not using the mod because I don’t want to introduce an extra intermediate product into my game.
