My mod, Morestuff2, will soon include a machine similar to the furnace, that would be used to double the output from metallic ores, and another machine for extracting heat energy from very hot stuff, for the enhancing of energy-fuels. However, this would depend on the Crafter mod (
Crafter Mod), until the functionality allowing custom crafting definition types is added to the API.
I will have a useable release made soon, if you want your mod to be compatible with mine, feel free to do what you can, or ask me if there is something I would need to do.
Resources are abundant; only money is scarce. People should not have to work hard and remain poor just to pay for the needs of survival.
Society can thrive without money - but only if productive members of society are rewarded for being productive.
