learning the new smelting system

[Scilly_guy]

Regarding smelters, what do they need to build now? Game just crashed, and JCs wiki is down as usal.

I don't think it's changed, I built a couple more just now:
20 bricks
35 stone
5 boards
10 hay
3 pig iron bars
2 nails

According to the other wiki, you're correct

I'd like to remind everyone, that you can have access to googledoc with our tables, if you are willing to participate, just say you want to in this thread or pm me. Not posting it openly only to avoid anonymous griefing.

Actually not, just reference the patterns by numbers or whatever...

They need same materials iirc, the problem is just I'm doing complete mine rework, so there is a lot of cave-ins, half broken buildings and boulders of all kinds all around, the plan is to clean the mess, get rid of old smelters with collapsed tiles stuck inside them and build a bunch of brand new ones. Then some real tests begin.

Notice my first two smelters: exactly same batches in exactly same order, but outcome on the last one is different.

Ore 23 lime 7? Seriously?

Well, some people have magic smelters apparently

[Kandarim]

also, might be of note: i've been doing 15 ore - 10 lime smelts and getting two bars per smelt in the majority of the cases. Sometimes one, and once I got three (there was a little limestone in the smelter). This is on maybe 20 total smelts.

I've been running this setup and i've gotten two bars consistently 8+ cycles now.





EDIT: And another batch later all my smelters also produced 2 bars again with the same setup. Not going to cap all of them since that would take awhile, but

Woops... Used 7 limes, and didn't adjust the ore count correctly hahaha.

That said all my batches have been using some sort of ore and lime placement mixing so that each ore has maximum contact with lime. And then no matter the actual placement (so far) I used 10 limes and 15 ores and get very near ~2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1 bars per smelt. Will try some more.

I had 1 bar batches from this pattern.

Compare your sparks & embers skills. What purity coal did you both use?

Who is smelting with lucky and who is not?

There are new iron bars?

I do not have lucky.

And Hose, I've got no idea what you're asking, if you mean are those new bars yes, the second screenshot is after the first batch was finish and I reloaded it with ore and lime.
