[mtjohnson47]

Which modpack version are you using?

2.0.5.1
#

If in multiplayer; On which server does this happen?

Private server
#

What did you try to do, and what did you expect to happen?

Pour molten steel into an ingot cast. Expected it to pour
#

What happend instead? (Attach screenshots if needed)

nothing
#

What do you suggest instead/what changes do you propose?

Add a recipe for pouring out steel ingots.

@mtjohnson47 pretty sure this is intended so that you have to use GT processing to make steel. Whether it is the Bricked Blast Furnace or Electronic Blast Furnace. I remember asking about this before a long time ago. It does pose the issue of if you put steel in you have to either use it or destroy it which isn't clear until you try it.

[richardhendricks]

You can leave it there, it won't hurt it. Or you can use it to create blank molds and place those in an arc furnace to get ingots, or in a pulverizer to get dusts.

[mtjohnson47]

Yeah, I made the steel tool parts for the quest, then melted down the steel tool parts because i wanted different materials.

[Dream-Master]

maybe i add recipe to make back iron ingots or so but ofc no steel ingots. This will break blance

[mtjohnson47]

Why would it? You can't make steel in the smeltery, you still have to make it using the railcraft methods. Why should it be treated differently than any other ingot?

[sthegreat]

It's because steel dust -> steel ingot is supposed to need an EBF, similar to how molten aluminium can't be cast into ingots because that needs an EBF to smelt.

[bartimaeusnek]

@sthegreat i dont see the point, since steel dust is obtained by macerating steel.... im in favor of making steel pourable

[draknyte1]

lemme just melt down all this steel mob armour from my grinder for free steel

I don’t think so Bart.
At least, add a new ingot mold for higher tier materials. (Allow pouring Alu and Steel but require HV)

[Dream-Master]

High tier mold maybe better but not sure if we can balancing it right. 80 secs in EBf for Alu is a long time. Put oxygen to alu will not work in rl.
Ok steel will work but at a higher temperature i guess.

[bartimaeusnek]

@draknyte1 you can alloy-smelt that. also you need a macerator, which you have once you have the alloy smelter... still dont see the point
EDIT: also without the harder mobs, steel ammount from mob farms should be neglectible...

[Dream-Master]

Ok you cant smelt dust inside it so i guess it is ok to enable steel ingots. Nuggets still available.
