FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

This MOD introduces a new kind of Furnace called Smelter. It is intended for provide a mean for smelt materials, for example to create alloys in a more realistic way. This MOD adds also a new kind of crafts (smelting) with a 2x2 grid.

The first release transform iron_ore in iron_ingot also iron_ingot + coal_lump in steel_ingot as example of uses.

CRAFT for a Smelter
[clay brick] [clay brick] [clay brick]
[clay brick] [] [clay brick]
[clay brick] [clay brick] [clay brick]

For developers:

Anyone that intends to define a new smelting they MUST be registered with the crafter MOD.

Examples:
crafter.register_craft({
type = "smelting",
output = "smelter:iron_ingot",
recipe = {
{"default:iron_lump"}
}
})

crafter.register_craft({
type = "smelting",
output = "default:steel_ingot",
recipe = {
{"smelter:iron_ingot"},
{"default:coal_lump"}
}
})

Maybe you can use bricks to craft it? It would be a bit more realistic.

Umm can be, I'm not sure if ancient smelters were done with bricks. There are several civilizations that worked with metals but they didn't use bricks (well as long as I know, maybe is required further investigation). I did it with cobbles because the furnace is also done with cobbles. It is like a reinforced furnace :P

The node sucks a little but a smelter looks like a stone cylinder with a hole

In our case, a cube "holed" :)

btw is it possible to unregister a craft? For example to remove the iron lump -> steel ingot to force to use the smelter

I also thought about that but I think its not possible.

I thought twice and I changed the recipe as you suggested, also because it adds complexity to the building of a smelter. Otherwise it is too easy to create steel from the game.

It is a shame, so the only way is to provide a default/init.lua patched?

Um... Yeah.

Also, make this use technic alloy furnace recipes as well (detect technic then the recipes) and you will be god.

Oh do you mean this?

Lol I didn't know it existed! :)

Well I was planning to do a release of moreores for the Smelter, where the alloys must be crafted using this item. BTW looking at the recipe and image I will change my recipe and the textures :P Maybe I can do 2 versions of the Smelter one simple done as the original recipe I did that doesn't reach a high temperature, and then a more advanced crafted with the bricks that allows to smelt anything inside.

No, i mean technic mod for minetest. If you havent been living under a rock, you should know what it is.

Oh ok, never used it :P I'm more old fashioned, it looked... well too technic to me. It will require another version of the technic Mod changing the recipes for use the Smelter. I already did it with moreores, and added zinc, lead and brass. After test it I will upload here the link.

i more wanted to have a non-electric alloy furnace.

+1

O.o you crazy, its not too technic till there's spaceships.

Alloy Furnace and Electric alloy furnace already exists in technic, zinc, brass, stainless steel and some other stuff too ;)

Does it cook faster than a regular furnace? if so, how?

What allows this mod is to be able to create your own smelt recipes.

Dan Duncombe wrote:Does it cook faster than a regular furnace? if so, how?

No, it is not more faster.

Is it intentional that the smelter does not consume fuel?
If not, you can fix it easily by taking this code from the end of the ABM:


And replacing it with this code:

Other than that, this mod is awesome. It should be added to minetest_game ASAP.

uh when i try and put things to smelt in the top right corner slot it gives this error

EDIT: that world i used it in can no longer be used as it crashes upon loading, giving the same error

is there a way to edit this to add a new crafting method? im trying to add "extraction" for my dinosaur mod but it doesnt work it keeps saying hacky_swap_node a nil value ive tried removeing hacky_ but it wont work
