Iron duplication via metal press

sguest opened this issue · comments

It's possible to use the metal press to duplicate iron. It takes quite a bit of charcoal and time to get each ingot so I don't know how impactful this realistically is, but it does seem to work.

The issue exists because the metal press will make a refined bloom into an iron ingot, even if it's not a full bloom.

  • Split an ingot into multiple items that are each less than 100 units of iron (Wrought Iron Rod, for example).
  • Start up a bloomery run for each item individually, each will give a bloom with <100 units.
  • Refine each bloom on the anvil.
  • Toss each bloom on the metal press, each will turn into an ingot.

That is the most labour intensive method for getting some free iron... I think I'm quite happy to leave it as-is as the solution is ugly and probably not going to happen. If anyone figures out a way to automate this, have at it :)

I agree it's not a particularly productive exploit. I'll be honest I was mostly hoping you'd have a way to solve this so I could steal it for my own CT scripts :) I was trying to figure out how to work with blooms in recipes and checked how TNFC does things for inspiration, which led me to a "hmm, I wonder" moment.

Yeah I would be fixing it in the TNFC_mod as there is no way to fix it in a CT script
