Thermal Slag-O-Matic
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
This is a small mod which adds recipes to Thermal Expansion's Pulverizer to allow you to process Slag and Rich Slag into resource nuggets, at a low rate (boostable). This is based on similar gravel processing recipes in other mods.
This mod is designed for modpacks which do not have similar methods of generating resource nuggets, such as via Create. The chances are balanced in such a way that, even with a full stack of slag in a fully upgraded Pulverizer with a stack of Basalz Powder, you will not get many nuggets. These recipes are fully boostable, but even with top-tier augments expect not to get much. It is designed to be automated.
If the default chances are not to your liking, you may open the jar file and edit the values in the data/thermal/recipes/machines/pulverizer/ folder.
Below are the default chances for each item:
Slag
- Iron Nugget: 4%
- Copper Nugget: 3%
- Tin Nugget: 2%
- Lead Nugget: 2%
Rich Slag
- Niter Dust: 4%
- Nickel Nugget: 3%
