Why is dry concentrate more efficient than screening into lumps and fines? I expected a more complex process to be more efficient, no?
Example Hematite (adjusted for nicer numbers)
Dry concentrate: 24 crushed ore to 18 iron concentrate + 6 tailings -> 75% efficiency
Washing: 24 crushed ore to 18 iron concentrate + 6 B-sludge and 90 Wastewater -> 75% efficiency
Screening and then separately processing lumps and fines: 24 crushed ore to 12 lumps + 8 fines + 4 tailings
12 lumps to 9 concentrate + 3 tailings
8 fines to 6 concentrate + 2 B-sludge + 30 Wastewater
Overall 15 out of 24 -> 62.5% efficiency
Not even reduced waste as far as I can tell.
Is this intended?
Otherwise great mod so far :)
