[DEVBLOG#87] Steel Extractor
Added 2020-10-04 14:09:36 +0000 UTC “A large machine with a series of hammers, magnets, and foundries. Hammers pound rock chunks into dust, whereafter magnets collect metallic fragments before being dropped and melted into more pure, usable pieces. This machine has a notoriously low yield as most rock chunks have a negligible amount of extractable material. This machine can also be set to pound usable steel fragments from slag.”
Input: 3 slots: Rock chunks or Slag
Output: Steel
Size: 6x3
Coming in Vanilla Factions Expanded - Mechanoids.

Ow man I really hope they don’t yoink it from me before I release our mod, especially we too are looking to add conveyor belts, sorters, mergers etc

2020-10-07 16:24:18 +0000 UTCThe PRF team is working on a revision to their belts currently and are having a discussion over the art style to use. They almost had a decision, then they saw this machine. :)

2020-10-05 23:51:34 +0000 UTCThat's so dope. I love the core idea of Project RimFactory, but they've strayed far from Vanilla style and have a lot of clutter'ish buildings, typos & over-powered stuff. I was working with them correcting the typos and such for a while, but can't bring myself to do it anymore because they keep adding content I don't fancy. This machine you're working on looks great and sounds balanced. PRF created custom conveyor belts, after they weren't happy with Industrial Rollers anymore. They're nice folks and you could probably ask for their code, everyone loves you and your work with Vanilla Expanded everywhere. Are you planning on additional factory machines?

2020-10-05 12:14:08 +0000 UTCDo I hear automation? Also, I know you have said that conveyor belts aren't easy to make work but I feel that they would work very well. Question: Is this a blueprint we can place, or is it a quest item?

2020-10-04 18:05:03 +0000 UTCNo conveyor belts planned yet due to how performance-unfriendly they are, but I never say never and we might just find a way to pull it off. Right now they need to be connected to hoppers to suck the resources into the machines.

2020-10-04 16:12:48 +0000 UTCWhoah, is this hand-loaded only or are also getting some conveyor belts to go with those inputs and outputs? Either way, that looks amazing and my hype is real.

2020-10-04 16:07:03 +0000 UTCThis will be extremely useful! And I love the sprite too (I have a weak spot for industrial aesthetics). This mod is gonna be great, I'm telling you
