A furnace doesn't just output cold usable results. You need to wait for them to cool down.
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Furnaces, assembling machines, production chains.
I there a cooldown mechanic, like using water ->steam for faster cooling ?
probably also have some tempered metal-parts for higher end products /improved products
Not yet, but I'm gathering ideas and I might make something out of it.
This would be really neat. I tend to use some buffer chests a lot for some production lines to allow to cool down. Wondering if some kind of "refrigator" chest or similar would do the trick. But I am not sure how people do this in real life :)
Maybe use the cryogenic plant and allow faster cooling using fluoroketone as coolant? That's pretty endgame though.
I saw a similar mechanic in a mobile game (Sandship). I liked the idea.
